Chris Barker told attendees that the Water & Wastewater fund operates like an enterprise and pays for itself through user fees; he said roughly 54% of that fund’s revenue comes from water sales and about 37% from sewer charges.
On reclaimed water, Barker said the system is "only 3%" of the fund now but that the city is proud of the growth; he described expansion as contingent on demand and availability of low‑cost loans or grants that help justify capital costs.
