Enclosed are the FY 07-08 operating and capital project budgets for the Wastewater Enterprise as recommended by the Mayor and approved by the Board of Supervisors.

The projected revenues to support the operating budget and capital projects total $247.9 million; $200.9 million from sewer services charges; $39.1 million from sale of bonds and $8.3 million from interest and other miscellaneous income.

The operating budget totals $184.9 million: a net decrease of $3.9 million over last year's budget of $188.8 million.  The net change primarily reflects a decrease for debt service.  Fifteen (15) new positions were added to increase inspections and cleaning sewers, reduce mechanical maintenance backlog, and to enhance stormwater and biosolids efforts.

Wastewater's capital budget totals $65.3 million; $17.6 million for the Repair and Replacement Program, $46.3 million for infrastructure repairs and replacement and $1.4 million for the low-income discount programs.
