This was a result of an increase in <br />sanitary sewer services used in 2021 and an increase in the rates charged. <br />The Water fund net position decreased by $160,211, which was a result of increased repairs and <br />maintenance costs for water main breaks. <br />The Golf fund net position decreased by $47,353 in 2021.
