Cost Recovery Fund
Fund Description
Established in 2001, The Cost Recovery Fund accounts for fees paid by water customers (mainly developers) that contribute to the expansion of Northlake's water infrastructure in response to increases in water-related demands. The revenue generated within the Cost Recovery Fund must be used exclusively toward funding water capital improvement projects (generally necessitated by the rise in demand).
FY 2022 Changes
- Transferred $1,200,000 to the Water Capital Projects Fund for the North Area Water Ground Storage Tank
FY 2021 Overview
Ending Fund Balance
