MAJOR BUDGET ISSUES
FISCAL YEAR 2023-24
This fund accounts for the operations of the Baytown Area Water Authority (BAWA). BAWA is
a water authority created by the Texas Legislature to supply water for the City of Baytown (City)
and surrounding communities. BAWA services a total of eight customers with the City as the
largest customer, generating approximately 88% of BAWA's annual sales. BAWA is a separate
legal entity; however, it is considered a component unit of the City. Since it began operating,
BAWA has not experienced shortages of its raw water supply to the plant or interruptions of
service to its customers.
REVENUES
The 2023-24 proposed budget estimates sales of$16,497,108 for an average of 13.5 million gallons
per day (MGD). Fluctuations in rainfall amounts can significantly impact actual sales. The
existing rate structure for BAWA is$3.26 per 1,000 gallons for the City of Baytown and$3.46 per
1,000 gallons for customers outside the city. The rates will consist of a 6% bump to $3.46 per
1,000 gallons for the City of Baytown and $3.67 per 1,000 gallons for customers outside the city
for the 2023-24 budget.
EXPENDITURES
Total operating expenditures for the proposed 2023-24 budget are $9,938,162 which is a decrease
of$394,737 from the 2022-23 budget. The decrease includes $229,544 in the untreated water
supplies and a decrease in electrical service. This budget includes a transfer of$350,000 to the
General Fund for an indirect cost allocation to reimburse the City for administrative services such
as Human Resources, Fiscal Operations, Legal and Infonnation Technology Services. Highlights
of major operating changes are as follows:
• Decrease in supplies (878)
• Increase in maintenance 13,000
• Decrease in services (406,859)
• Decrease in capital outlay (73,000)
Raw Water Supply Cost—BAWA purchases raw water from the City of Houston. The raw water
supply contract with the City of Houston is in effect through the year 2040,and sets the maximum
amount of raw water to be delivered to the BAWA plant at 26 MGD without penalties. The
surcharge for water purchased over the 26 MGD is nominal at this time. BAWA received a rate
increase from $0.90 to$0.9802 on April 1, 2023. The annual rate adjustment is based on inflation.
Debt Service—The transfer to cover the debt service requirement for the proposed 2023-24 budget
is $4,133,994. The Authority awarded a construction contract to build the BAWA East Water
Treatment Plant and due to the length of time for construction, 27-36 months,the Authority chose
to issue bonds in two parts. The combination of bonds and operating funds totaling $28 million
was issued for the first year. The second issue, $18 million in bonds, was issued in the fiscal year
2018-19.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
The Capital Improvement Program for BAWA is funded through the issuance of revenue bonds,
grants, and revenue from operations.
BAWA Backwash and Decant Pump Replacement $323,290
This project is ongoing and replaces the existing(7.5HP)decant and backwash pumps and motors
to increase reliability and control of surface water sludge processes.
BAWA Administration Building $550,000
This project is ongoing and performs a minor remodel of office space updating the finishes, and
replace the HVAC system, replace the roof, plumbing upgrades, and electrical upgrades.
BAWA Raw Water Rehabilitation $13 705,110
This project is ongoing, funded from debt, replaces the existing BAWA Forebay liner, raw water
pumps and motors with variable frequency drive(VFD)pumps'motors at the Fritz Lanham Surface
Water Plant. Project will be split into two phases to smooth funding requirements. Phase 1: Canal
Pumps with Decant PS. Phase II: Forebay pumps and liner.
BAWA East Surface Water Plant Phase 2 Expansion $5,920,000
This project is ongoing, funded by debt, covers the engineering services of the expansion and the
existing surface water treatment plant south of Interstate Highway(IH) 10 and west of SH 99 along
the Coastal Water Authority (CWA) Barbers Hill Canal. The design provides for the ability to
expand the plant based on future water demands and allow the plant to convert to salt water
treatment(desalinization)ensuring long term viability.
WORKING CAPITAL
In order to maintain fiscal stability, governmental entities maintain a working capital balance to
meet daily liquidity needs. Appropriate levels of working capital vary from entity to entity based
on the relative impact of particular circumstances or financial conditions. Working capital is
defined as current assets (e.g., cash, investments and accounts receivable) less current liabilities
(e.g., accounts payable).
In the 2023-24 proposed budget, BAWA's working capital Ievel at year end is projected to
represent 156 days of operating expenditures plus we are able to transfer out $1,368,290 to
BAWA's Capital Improvement Project Fund (CIPF) which will be available for funding future
capital projects.

PUBLIC WORKS
April 1, 2023
Dear Customer:
City Ordinances require certain automatic annual adjustments to the water and wastewater rates based on
inflationary indices. The one-year inflationary index for our area is 8.2%. The City of Houston population
increased by 1%.The combined impact of both factors results in an automatic annual water and wastewater rate
increase of 9.2% on April 1, 2023.
This year, in addition to the 9.2% automatic annual rate adjustment, Ordinance No. 2021-515 adopted the 2021
Water&Wastewater Cost of Service Rate Study, which allows for new annual rates over a 5-year period. These
rate adjustments are necessary to pay increases in the cost of operating, maintaining, and repairing the
combined water and wastewater utility system, debt service on the utility system's bonds and other obligations
of the utility system, protect the financial integrity of the utility system, and comply with certain bond covenants
and all other applicable law. New Rates and Charges specific to Treated and Untreated Water accounts are as
follows:
Classification Rate
Contract—Treated Water
Air gap P x $4.29 plus P-M x $1.06*
Non-Airgae P x$4.87 plus P-M x$1.06"
GRP Area 3 60%
Contract—Untreated Water $0.9802 per 1,000 gallons
Untreated Water Non-contract
0- 10,000,000 gallons $2.1848 per 1,000 gallons
11,000,000-20,000,000 gallons $1.9631 per 1,000 gallons
21,000,000-50,000,000 gallons $1.8515 per 1,000 gallons
51,000,000-150,000,000 gallons $1.7396 per 1,000 gallons
151,000,000 & up gallons $1.6838 per 1,000 gallons
* Note:
P = Total water delivery during the month in thousand gallons, except if the minimum monthly specified
in the customer's contract is greater than P, P shall equal M.
M = Minimum monthly amount of water specified in the customer's contract expressed in units of one
thousand gallons.
