Due to the nature and <br />cost of the Wastewater Fund's assets, it is often difficult to establish sewer rates such that they <br />are sufficient to cover the current year's use of the assets, represented by depreciation expense. <br />Ideally, sewer revenues should cover all operating expenses, including depreciation. <br /> <br />The Wastewater Fund has experienced an operating loss (operating revenues less than operating <br />expenses, includillg depreciation) for tvle of the past five years. The fund had an operating loss <br />of$62,303 in 2002 as compared to an operating income of$152,590 in 2001. <br /> <br />After operating transfers out and the netting of depreciation on contributed assets, the fund's <br />retained earnings decreased $351,496 from $1,655,883 at December 31, 2001 to $1,304,387 at <br />December 31, 2002. <br /> <br />Wastewater Fund <br /> <br />5800.000 ,.r'" , <br /> <br /> <br />-'--~.._""""-" ,..,.. ~""_._'-~-- <br /> <br />-._._,.~,."~.,, ,",..-.-,--.. <br /> <br />$1,400,000 <br /> <br />$1,200,000 <br /> <br />" "-.,- <br /> <br />$1,000,000 ..,.". <br /> <br />$600,000 /'.. <br /> <br />$400,000 .,./ <br /> <br />5200.000 ,./' <br /> <br />($200,000) / <br /> <br />1998 <br /> <br />-,--..--, """ '-.-, <br /> <br />1993 <br /> <br />--r"" " <br /> <br />2000 <br /> <br />2001 <br /> <br />2002 <br /> <br />r.;~:::~:~=m.
