Wastewater Funding Source
Wastewater Funding Source
| The funding source for the Wastewater division is a "user related" fee. |
The Wastewater Revolving Fund was implemented in July 1993 and replaced the General Fund in paying debt service on General Obligation Bonds (GOB). The operation and maintenance of the sanitary sewer system is now entirely funded through the Wastewater Revolving Fund. City Council has endorsed the concept of self-sufficiency and informally agreed to an annual $ .04 increase in the fee. This will permit continued preventive maintenance activities and payment of debt service on our Capital Improvement Program. However on occasion the sewer user fee may be increased due to increased cost of construction materials and replacement parts, expanded maintenance and operational programs in compliance with state and federal government regulations and new iniatives to improve sanitary sewer system efficiencies within the City of Newport News and in co-operation with Hampton Roads Sanitation District (HRSD). |
| The Wastewater Division utilizes its annual funding in the following five primary areas. |
