Depreciation has been provided <br />using the straight -line method over the estimated useful lives of assets, as follows: <br />Depreciable Depreciation <br />Assets Lives 1990 1989 <br />Purchased assets: <br />Water 5 - 25 years $421 $600 <br />Sewer 5 - 25 years 399 169 <br />Contributed assets: <br />Water 20 - 50 years 34,105 31,226 <br />Sewer 20 - 50 years 38,326 35,775 <br />Totals $73,251 $67,770 <br />Fixed assets of the water and sewer utility operations include the water distribution system and <br />sewage collection system. These systems have been wholly (or substantially) financed by non- <br />operating funds (special assessments, general taxes, Federal and State grants, and other sources) <br />and contributions to the Sewer and Water Operating Funds. City policy is to finance these assets <br />by the sources indicated rather than by user charges. Accordingly, the water and sewer user rates <br />are not established at levels sufficient to cover depreciation on these assets. <br />Depreciation on these assets is shown in the operating statements; however, the depreciation is <br />eventually transferred against the contribution account rather than retained earnings in accordance <br />with generally accepted accounting principles. Consequently, the contribution account reflects the <br />net book value of contributed assets rather than the original cost of such assets. <br />A summary of Proprietary Fund assets at December 31,1990 is as follows: <br />Water and Gas <br />Sewer Utility Total <br />Well $18,500 $18,500 <br />Buildings and Structures 48,690 48,690 <br />Machinery and Equipment 23,406 23,406 <br />Water and Sewer Lines 6,224,189 6,224,189 <br />Acquisition costs - gas utility $2,375 2,375 <br />Total 6,314,785 2,375 6,317,160 <br />Less: Accumulated Depreciation (400,580) (400,580) <br />Net Fixed Assets $5,914,205 $2,375 $5,916,580 <br />
