Water Division

The Water Division receives revenues from Net Sales of Water, Gross Receipts Tax and other miscellaneous income.

Discussion

Revenues from net sales of Water include sales to flat-rate and metered customers and sales to other governmental jurisdictions. While the number of metered and unmetered customers has decreased slightly the sales to other governmental jurisdictions has more than compensated for the decrease. The Gross Receipts Tax is a 10% utility tax levied on all purchasers of water from the Water Division and payable to the City's General Fund. The other miscellaneous income is mostly revenue from services the Water Division performs, such as repairing damaged fire hydrants or tapping water lines for new buildings.
