<br />Item Explanation of items with variance greater than $20,000
<br />(A)Interest rates and unrealized gains are favorable and surpassing budget expectations, but are slightly behind Q3 2024.
<br />(B)Increase in water rates combined with an increase in accounts. The Flat Water Charge increased from $20/Quarter/REU to
<br />$25/Quarter/REU in 2025 due to financing the Water Treatment Plant. In addition, there are 97 more water accounts
<br />at the end of Q3 2025, compared to Q3 2024.
<br />(C)Approximately 21% increase in water consumption through Q3 2025 vs 2024, with the remaing revenue increase due to the
<br />increased number of billed accounts, and rate increase.
<br />(D)Supplies variance to Q1 2024 is due to $40,000 less in Water Meters purchased in 2025, timing differences in purchases.
<br />Water meter inventory is purchased on a periodic basis to anticipate new connections and replacement needs,
<br />supply chain/availability issues have persisted in recent years.
<br />(E)Approximately $100K in 2025 expenses for well and pump rehabs, and watermain repairs, no similar activity through Q2 2024.
<br />(F)Two Vehicles purchased in 2024, whereas only one vehicle purchase made through Q3 2025.
<br />(G)2025 Budget anticipated Water Treatment Plant debt service occurring in Fund 406, but will actually occur in Water Fund.
<br />(H)2025 Budget anticipated Transfer-Out for debt service to Fund 406, however, no transfer out will occur due to servicing the WTP
<br />Debt within Water Fund.
