Operations Income and Staffing Costs are right on target. Business Ops costs are high primarily due to legal fees for litigation with King County (Franchise Fees) — and Insurance is paid. These high costs are mostly behind us. System Ops costs are in-line with budget and should finish close to …
At 6 months, any “straight line” budget items would be at 50%. Operations Income, at 55%, is running ahead. This is due to slightly higher Water Usage as well as the impact of the rate change. Summer billing gets us a fast start on Income every year. Due to the …
On a monthly straight-line basis, costs and income would be at 41.7%. YTD Income is still a bit ahead, which is good as we’ve had our biggest billing months, already. In the November column you see, primarily, the impact of the rate change vs. last year, which is bringing in …
We’re looking like a nice, boring water company (utility), again! Although some items are high or low based on a straight-line 33% of the annual budget (for 4 months) we know what’s behind these variations. For income, we are still a bit ahead due to summer billing and the rate …
At 3 months, any “straightline” costs/income would be at 25% of annual budget. Based on this you can see that Income is a running a bit ahead at 30% (as expected with summer months). Staffing costs are inline. Business Ops a bit high (legal fees), System Ops a bit low …
No big news in the numbers, this past month. We are “running positive” (as expected during the summer months) as our total Fund Balance (see top of column at right) has increased from $278k to $293k. This is good, as we’ll “burn cash” through the winter. In Operations, you’ll see …
With July, we start a new fiscal year. The Beginning Balance of each Fund as shown in the YTD “Actual” column is the book balance reported at the end of last fiscal year (30 June 2021). The Beginning Balance in the Budget column is the balance we forecasted when we …
Well, we’ve finished the big year of building the Filtration Plant in pretty good shape, all in all. We budgeted to end the year with $230k in reserves. In March, I forecasted we might end with $303k. We actually ended the year with over $330k! Along the way you’ll see …
More of the same. We continue to bill less water usage than last year. We are now right in line with budget, no longer slightly ahead. Our billing structure, which shifted a bit more towards water usage, should generate higher income through the summer. (Getting us ahead before the long …
We have $30k more in our Operations Fund than budgeted for end of year. This should increase a bit further in the next couple months. Primary reason is that we have not paid a franchise fee to KingCo (budgeted $12k) and most of the consulting fee for the Small Water …
