WATERWORKS INVESTMENT STRATEGY

The objective of the capital investment strategy is to work towards waterworks that are as close to self-financing as possible, where users are current with their utility payments for their services. With the costs of waterworks infrastructure being very high and the Northern Village of Green Lake having a small revenue base, total self-reliance is not always feasible. Future waterworks upgrades will be funded by money collected through the waterworks rates and may receive support through the Northern Water and Sewer Program.

ANNUAL WATERWORKS FINANCIAL OVERVIEW

2023 WATERWORKS OVERVIEW  
Total waterworks revenue $96,071
Total waterworks expenditures $395,435
Total debt payment on waterworks infrastructure loan $11,184
Comparison of waterworks revenue to expenditures plus debt payment, expressed as a ratio .24
Reserves – Reserves available for waterworks capital infrastructure $25,331

 

So for 2023, waterworks revenues covered 24% of the waterworks expenditures.
