The District’s net worth is invested in its physical assets and its ability to provide reliable water service to the public. These assets must be properly maintained and replaced over time to maintain the level and quality of service provided to the public. The District will consider future needs for all capital facilities, equipment and operations, and set aside appropriate funds to meet these needs. Additional reserve funds may be included as future circumstances warrant. All reserves should be retained for their original intended purpose. In this manner, funds will be available for future capital and equipment requirements in addition to provide funds to continue operations.
