MAJOR BUDGET ISSUES
FISCAL YEAR 2018-19
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 2018-19 adopted budget estimates sales of $13,816,896 for an average of 13.5 million
gallons per day (MGD). Fluctuations in rainfall amounts can significantly impact actual sales.
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 increase to $2.82 and $2.86 respectively,
effective October 1, 2018. This would cover the increased cost of operations, including debt
service, the purchase of raw water, and provide funds for future capital projects. This increase in
rates is expected to generate $398,565 in additional revenue.
EXPENDITURES
Total operating expenditures for the adopted 2018-19 budget are $6,791,521 which is an increase
of $75,773 from the 2017-18 budget. An increase of $333,593 over current year estimate 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:
• Increase in personnel services $ 43,699
• Decrease in supplies (16,863)
• Increase in maintenance 1,000
• In crease in services 47,937
• Increase in capital outlay 85,000
• Increase in transfers out-capital improvements 3,790,159
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 (2.8%) from $0.6821 to $0.7012 effective April 1, 2018. 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.

MAJOR BUDGET ISSUES
FISCAL YEAR 2018-19
Debt Service – The transfer to cover the debt service requirement for the adopted 2018-19
budget is $2,429,518. 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, will
be 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 East Water Treatment Plant $6,016,617
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 FY2019
High Service Pumps $ 923,138
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: Preventative maintenance cost projected at $15,000 for FY2019.
Filter Scour $1,114,000
This project will provide more efficient backwash with 40-50% less backwash water and will
extend the life of the filter media. (Cost savings less energy and water use)
Annual Operating Impact: No anticipated operating cost for FY2019.
East Transmission Line $1,650,000
This is for the design of the transmission line that will go from the new Water Treatment Plant to
provide water to the City
Annual Operating Impact: No anticipated operating cost for FY2019

FISCAL YEAR 2018-19
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 2018-19 adopted budget, BAWA’s working capital level at year end is projected to
represent 235 days of operating expenditures; a contingency line item of $75,000 is provided;
plus we are able to transfer out $5,790,159 to BAWA’s Capital Improvement Project Fund
(CIPF). The $5,790,159 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 14.82 MGD and projected finished water flow of 13.69 MGD for fiscal year 2016-17. 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.
