More detailed information for each operating division <br />can be found below. <br /> <br />Water Operations <br />The City’s water operation provides City customers with safe potable water, as well as on-demand water <br />pressure sufficient to meet the City’s fire protection needs. The following table provides a summary of <br />the 2016 and 2017 (proposed) Budget excluding capital: <br /> <br />2016 2017 $ Increase % Increase <br />Budget Budget (Decrease)(Decrease) <br />Revenues <br />Customer Charges 7,487,750$ 7,100,000$ (387,750)$ -5.2% <br />Interest Earnings 1,000 5,000 4,000 0.0% <br />Total 7,488,750$ 7,105,000$ (383,750)$ -5.1% <br />Expenses <br />Personal Services 642,800$ 642,500$ (300)$ 0.0% <br />Supplies & Materials 82,100 88,200 6,100 7.4% <br />Other Services & Charges 5,793,850 5,565,750 (228,100) -3.9% <br />Total 6,518,750$ 6,296,450$ (222,300)$ -3.4% <br />Net Available for Capital **970,000$ 808,550$ <br />** Excludes $592,000 in cash reserves set aside for water-related capital <br />For 2017, overall budgeted revenues and expenditures are expected to decline significantly after <br />adjusting for revised customer usage estimates. The revision affects both the ‘Customer Charges’ <br />(revenue) and ‘Other Services & Charges’ (expenses). Costs associated with assigned personnel are <br />expected to remain steady even after accommodating a 2.75% cost-of-living adjustment. <br /> <br />The single largest operating cost for the water operation is the purchase of wholesale water from the St. <br />Paul Regional Water System (SPRWS). SPRWS Officials have informed us that there will be a 4.67% <br />increase in the cost of purchasing wholesale water in 2017. However, Roseville’s current customer usage <br />rates have a sufficient cushion to accommodate this increase.
