What this fund is
The Sewer Utility is an 'enterprise' fund: it operates like a business, paid for by sewer charges rather than taxes. In 2026 it carries a large capital-outlay budget for system work, alongside contract operations, maintenance, and treatment costs. Revenue comes from customer sales, lagoon-use charges, and grinder-pump installations.
