BAYTOWN AREA WATER AUTHORITY
MAJOR BUDGET ISSUES
FISCAL YEAR 2017-18
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 87% 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 2017-18 proposed budget estimates sales of $13,285,476 for an average of 13.5 million
gallons per day (MGD). Fluctuations in rainfall amounts can significantly impact actual sales.
Although the Utility Rate Study calls for a 3.4% increase, the existing rate structure will provide
adequate funding to exceed both working capital and bonded debt coverage. Budgeted net
revenues result in a favorable 3.1 times coverage of average annual system debt service.
Therefore, no rate increase is recommended for the 2017-18 proposed budget. The existing rate
structure of $2.74 per 1,000 gallons for the City of Baytown and $2.78 per 1,000 gallons for
customers outside the city will remain the same.
EXPENDITURES
Total operating expenditures for the proposed 2017-18 budget are $6,715,748 which is an
increase of $578,351 from the 2016-17 budget. An increase of $591,573 in the untreated water
supplies is included in the budget due to the City of Houston's raw water supply contract. 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 Information Technology Services. Highlights of major operating changes are as
follows:
• Decrease in personnel services $ (17,222)
• Increase in supplies 591,573
• Decrease in maintenance (9,000)
• Increase in services 13,000
• Decrease in capital outlay (90,000)
• Decrease in transfers out -capital improvements (2,212)
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 20 MGD without
penalties. The surcharge for water purchased over the 20 MGD is nominal at this time. BAWA
received notice of a rate increase (3.4%) from $0.6597 to $0.6821 effective April 1, 2017. The
annual rate adjustment is intended to help cover the City of Houston's cost increases that impact
the provision of safe, clean drinking water and the collection and treatment of wastewater. This
includes operational costs as well as the costs involved in repairing portions of the City of
Houston system's aging infrastructure.

FISCAL YEAR 2017-18
Debt Service The transfer to cover the debt service requirement for the proposed 2017 18
budget is $2,421,180. Further, sufficient funds are available for first year debt service and
issuance costs associated with a proposed $25 million bond issue in connection with BAWA East
Water Treatment Plant, phase one construction.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
The Capital Improvement Program for BAWA is funded through the issuance of revenue bonds,
grants, and revenue from operations.
BAWA East Water Treatment Plant $1,622,476
Development of a six (6) million gallons per day (MGD) 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 will provide 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. Construction is expected to begin in October 2017.
Annual Operating Impact: Non -operational for FY2018.
High Service Pumps $4,707,472
Replace all four high service pumps with new pumps. The new pumps will have a firm capacity
of 24,000 gpm (34.5 MGD) at 175 -ft TDH.
Annual Operating Impact: Operating and maintenance costs are projected at $12, 000.
Chain and Flight Basin 4 $122,000
Replace chain and flight in basin 4, which has reached its useful life.
Annual Operating Impact. Operating and maintenance costs are projected at $10,000.
Sludge Room Improvements $400,000
This project replaces the sludge pumps, valves and ancillary equipment and installs electrically
actuated valves on each of the hopper draw offs for the basins.
Annual Operating Impact: Preventative maintenance costs are projected at $10, 000.
Filter Gallery Improvements $100,000
Repair to filter gallery in order to stop leaks and replace deteriorated stair case which has become
a safety hazard.
Annual Operating Impact. No significant operating costs are anticipated.
Administrative Building Improvements $150,000
Update Administrative building to include replace flooring, paint exterior and interior as well as
update restroom facilities.
Annual Operating Impact: No significant operating costs are anticipated.
Ground Storage Tanks Rehabilitation $1,500,000

FISCAL YEAR 2017-18
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 2017-18 proposed budget, BAWA's working capital level at year end is projected to
represent 309 days of operating expenditures; a contingency line item of $75,000 is provided;
plus we are able to transfer out $2,000,000 to BAWA's Capital Improvement Project Fund
(CIPF). The $2,000,000 will be available for funding future capital projects.
3070 BAYTOWN AREA WATER AUTHORITY - PROGRAM SUMMARY
Program Description
BAWA operates and maintains a 26 Million Gallon per Day (MGD) surface water treatment facility. It has a projected raw
water flow of 13.25 MGD and projected finished water flow of 13.5 MGD for fiscal year 2017-18. BAWA currently serves 8
surrounding area customers, including the City of Baytown, which uses 87% of BAWA's production. Operations personnel
ensure the facility's compliance with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality's (TCEQ) Rules and Regulations for
Public Water Supplies. BAWA provides its customers with high quality, safe drinking water and consistent water pressure
for fire protection.
Major Goals
• Maintain water quality necessary to be classified as "Meeting Optimum Corrosion Control" by TCEQ.
• Maintain "Superior Public Water System" status.
• Maintain standards for the Texas Optimization Program - a voluntary program through TCEQ that promotes the
optimization of surface water treatment plants, by identifying and addressing the various factors that limit performance
in order to lower the risk of waterborne disease.
• Develop and maintain a staff of highly trained water professionals through continuing education classes and hands on
training.
Major Objectives
• Produce 13.5 MGD of finished water.
• Maintain finished water turbidity (haze measurement) consistently < 0.1 NTU.
• Maintain compliance with all TCEQ and EPA regulations.
