Projected water sales for 1989-90 from other customers than
the City of Baytown is approximately $313,000 based on 75,000
gallons per day consumption. Projected water sales from the City
of Baytown are 8. 67 million gallons of water per day for a total
of 9. 449 million gallons per day or $3,699,00c revenue for
1989-90.
Page 5 depicts a summary of revenues and expenditures
including under expenditures $167,473 for unforeseen
expenditures. Page 6 indicates activity for the debt service
fund showing an ending fund balance of $491 , 167. Page 7
indicates revenue bond debt service requirements by year, through
• the year 2002. Page 8 indicates the minimum take or pay
requirements under the contract with the City of Houston. BAWA
is currently taking 10 million gallons per day. On January 1992,
BAWA will begin taking 13 million gallons per day.
Presently, BAWA is averaging 9. 5 million gallons per day
which equates to about $55,000 a year to purchase water which is
not being used. At the 13,000,000 gallons per day take or pay,
the shortfall will cost about $300,000 yearly. A graph was
attached to the budget document which shows a 40% increase in the
cost of raw water since the plant began to operate. Another
graph was attached which depicts how the $1 . 07 per thousand
gallons is expended. The two largest expenditures are •2.7% for
debt service and 29.9 for purchase of untreated water.
In discussing possible customers, the board was informed
that by 1992 there is a possibility of adding Exxon , Mobay and
Mont Belvieu as customers. Mr. Thomas also told the board that
BAWA needs to think in terms of a building fund to do some
capital improvements. A rate increase of ten cents per thousand
gallons generates $365,000. There is a need for a duplicate line
to the City of Baytown. There are no longer enough wells
operable in Baytown t❑ serve the entire city on any given day.
The cost for a 36 inch line to loop the city would be about 4. 7
million dollars.
Plant Manager 's Report
Distribution - Average distribution for the month of June
was 9. 38 mgd. The heavy rains experienced in June and July have
caused water usage to decrease rather than increase as usual in
summer months. The plant is experiencing no problems at this
time.
