Multi-Year Utility Construction Fund Summary

Funding for projects in FY 2025-2026 will come from impact fees, cash on hand, and bonds. Debt in the
amount of $48 million was issued in FY 2023-2024 to fund the Water Treatment Plant expansion.
Funding for utility improvements in future years will be evaluated annually to determine the amount of
debt to be issued, if required.

Approximately $163,903,000 in utility improvements is estimated over the next 5 years.

The Utility Construction Fund includes projected operational costs totaling $5,292,279 over the next five-
year period. Annual operating costs are expected to gradually increase from FY 2025-2026 to FY 2029-
2030, reflecting the cumulative impact of additional utility assets coming online.

These costs primarily support the operations and maintenance of water and wastewater infrastructure,
including pipelines, lift stations, pumping facilities, and treatment systems. A key driver of future
operational costs is the planned expansion of the water treatment plant, which is expected to increase
energy usage, chemical consumption, equipment maintenance, and staffing requirements as treatment
capacity grows to meet long-term demand.
