1 $120 $100 $80 $60 $40 $20 Three Year Forecast Revenues and Expenditures Enterprise Fund Water & Sewer Revenues Expenditures s 2010 through 2013 are estimated. ENTERPRISE FUNDS (Funds 51 and 52) Enterprise Funds account for operations funded and operated in a manner similar to private business enterprises, where the intent of the County is to recover, through user charges, the cost of providing services to users of the service. The Water and Sewer Enterprise Fund (Fund 51) accounts for the provision of water and sewer services to residents of Henrico County, and wholesale service to Hanover and Goochland Counties. The Belmont Park Golf Course Enterprise Fund (Fund 52) accounts for the operations of Belmont Park Golf Course. All activities necessary to provide such services are accounted for in the respective funds, including operations, maintenance, construction, financing, and related debt service. The three-year forecast narrative of revenues and expenditures has been prepared for each of these operations separately, using the same basic framework as the General Fund. Water and Sewer Operations Fund (Fund 5101) Revenues Water and Sewer Enterprise Fund revenues are forecasted with increases in customer growth necessary to keep pace with routine operating costs, expansion and rehabilitation of infrastructure and the debt service payments on outstanding debt. Forecasted revenues also satisfy the requirements of the County s revenue bond covenants for current and future debt issues. Sale of Water for FY is based on a 5.0 percent increase in water rates. However, revenue collections are projected to remain relatively flat with FY revenue estimates. This is due to a decline in volume over the past few fiscal years due to the struggles in the commercial and residential real estate markets. Forecasts for FY and FY were prepared using 1.0 percent volume increases and a 3.0 percent rate increase in each year. These increases will support inflationary growth in expenditures and planned rehabilitation projects. Water Basic Fees are those fees collected for initial connection to the County's water distribution system. This revenue category mirrors economic development activity and all collections are used to fund the cost of expanding

2 the County s water system. Forecasted revenue collections in FY reflect substantial connection fee increases implemented on January 1, 2010, in which increases for water and sewer connection fees increased by approximately 64.0 percent, combined. The forecast for Water Basic Fees, however, also takes into consideration the commercial and residential real estate market struggles, as very little new construction is planned in the immediate future. $12 $9 $6 $3 $7.2 $6.5 Sewer Basic Fees $8.2 $2.2 $3.9 $4.1 $ s 2010 through 2013 are estimated. $10 $8 $6 $4 $2 $3.4 Water Basic Fees $5.3 $4.0 $1.1 F iscal Y ears 2010 throu gh are estimated. $1.7 $1.8 $ Sale of Sewer Services for FY is based on a 5.0 percent increase in sewer rates. Like Sale of Water Service revenues, noted above, forecasts for FY and FY were prepared using 1.0 percent volume increases and a 3.0 percent rate increase in each year. The majority of these increases will be used to support growth in expenditures and planned rehabilitation projects. Sewer Basic Fees are those fees collected for initial connection to the County's sewage system. This revenue category mirrors economic development activity and all collections are used to fund the cost of expanding the County s sewer system. Like Water Basic Fees, as noted above, forecasted revenue collections in FY reflect substantial connection fee increases implemented on January 1, 2010, in which increases for water and sewer connection fees increased by approximately 64.0 percent, combined. (To) From General Fund includes the General Fund payment to support debt service on the portion of the $32.0 million subordinate Water and Sewer Revenue bonds sold in FY to fund the infrastructure improvements of the Elko Tract in eastern Henrico County (these bonds were refunded in FY ). In addition to payment of the debt service, the General Fund is also responsible for the annual repayment of the $9.6 million loan made in FY to the Capital Projects Fund for additional infrastructure built at the Elko Tract site. The County s year-end financial statements disclose this loan as an asset in the Water and Sewer Enterprise Fund and a liability in the Capital Projects Fund; however, the General Fund is responsible for repaying the debt. The annual repayment of this loan was included in the General Fund transfer amount in FY However, from FY through FY , this amount was reflected as an expenditure in the General Fund for budget purposes, therefore, was not reflected in the General Fund transfer amount. With the refunding of the $32.0 million subordinate Water and Sewer Revenue bonds in FY , the structure of these payments from the General Fund will again be solely reflected in the General Fund transfer amount. Budget for Capital Use projections represent non-bond resources, available from Water and Sewer Operations to supplement utility infrastructure rehabilitation, expansion and other capital improvement activities. The transfer amounts for the forecast period reflect the planned appropriations for capital improvement projects to be supported by non-bond resources. Expenditures Expenditures developed for the forecast period represent total operating costs for providing water and sewer service to County residents. Operating costs include infrastructure maintenance, operation of the water and sewer systems and debt service on bond issues. Results of Operations (Prior to Capital Expenses) reflect the anticipated variance of revenues less expenditures.

3 Water and Sewer Construction Fund (Fund 5102) Capital Budget Expenditures Approved/Proposed Capital Projects are expected to total $36.6 million in FY , $51.6 million in FY , and $79.7 million in FY These projections represent expenditures for projects planned in future years listed in the Capital Projects Fund section of this budget document. Continuing Capital Projects represent the expenditures in construction appropriations based on projected resources and corresponding expenditures throughout the forecast period. Capital Budget Resources Water and Sewer Revenue projections represent non-bond resources transferred from the Operations subfund to the Construction subfund to support costs related to system rehabilitation, expansion and improvements. This transfer includes the connection fees paid by real-estate developers and new customers for initial connection to the County's water and sewer systems. Revenue Bonds (2006 Series) represents the proceeds from the sale of $80.0 million in revenue bonds issued in 2006 to finance necessary new and rehabilitation capital projects.
