Department Budget Summary
The Utility Fund FY 2025-2026 operating budget totals $46,935,725, representing a 9.22% increase from
the FY 2024-2025 budget. This increase reflects continued investment in system reliability, infrastructure
upgrades, and operational improvements across the City’s water and wastewater utilities. The Utility
Fund increased by 3.33 FTE with the addition of 1/3 FTE for a Cartegraph Administrator, as well as one
new Customer Service Representative in Utility Billing, one Tradesperson, and one Senior Technician.
These additions contributed to the 13.8% increase in personnel costs. Major growth areas include Billing
& Collections (33.05%), Water Quality (34.37%), and Water Distribution (24.05%). These increases will be
explained in further detail on the pages that follow. Water Distribution increased primarily due to new
positions, while the Water Quality division position count increased due to internal staff realignments.
The Other/Reserve category increased by 30.20%, providing greater flexibility for emergency repairs and
contingencies, as well as the ability to contribute cash and lower the need to borrow funds for projects.
