To The Board of Directors of
Harris County Water Control and Improvement District No. 108
We have examined the balance sheet, all funds, of Harris County
Water Control and Improvement District No. 108 (a political sub-
division of the State of Texas) as of March 31, 1981, and the related
statements of revenues, expenses and fund balances , all funds, and
changes in cash, all funds, for the year then ended . The analysis of
changes in general long-term debt and general long-term debt service
requirements by years were also included in this examination. Our
examination was made in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, and accordingly included such tests of the accounting
records and such other auditing procedures as we considered necessary
in the circumstances.
In our opinion, the statements referred to above present fairly
the financial position of Harris County Water Control and Improvement
District No. 108 at March 31, 1981, and the results of its operations
and the changes in its cash position for the year then ended, in con-
formity with generally accepted accounting principles, as pronounced
by the Texas Department of Water Resources, applied on a basis con-
sistent with that of the preceding year, except for the change, with
which we concur, in regarding Debt Service Fund bond and interest
payments as described in the related note to the financial statements.

HARRIS COUNTY WATER CONTROL AND IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT NO. 108
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 1981
Note 1 : Creation of the District -
Harris County Water Control and Improvement District No. 108 was
created by an order of the Texas Water Rights Commission on October
22, 1968 . The Board of Directors held its first meeting on November
• 7 , 1968 and the first bonds were sold on August 31, 1970 .
Summary of accounting policies -
Note 2 : Accounting requirements of the Texas Water Rights Commission -
The Texas Water Rights Commission adopted a "Water District Account-
ing Manual" in 1974 , and the use of the Manual by all water Districts was
required by the Commission beginning January 1, 1975 . The financial
statements contained in this report generally conform to the requirements
of the Manual. The accrual basis of accounting is followed by the Dis-
trict and all financial statements were prepared on this basis , except
for the statement of changes in cash-all funds , which was prepared on the
cash basis of accounting. Also tax revenues are reported on the cash
basis , but the net change in taxes receivable is recorded and included
in the fund balances of the Tax Fund .
Note 3 : Construction Fund -
By vote of the Board of Directors of the District a Construction
Fund was established for the purpose of physical plant improvements . The
District transferred $49,527 to the Construction Fund which represented
funds provided by an environmental protection agency reimbursement grant
and by a federal disaster service grant. Additional funds are to be
provided by a proposed $200 ,000 bond issue, see note 13 .
Note 4 : Accounting for capital items -
The District capitalized all costs associated with its creation which
included all direct costs of the sale of bonds , except for bond discounts .
From the date of the sale of bonds through the date of completion of
related improvements, interest expenses and interest income related to
these funds , and amortization of bond discount, were also capitalized .
These amounts have been shown on the balance sheet as district organiza-
tional costs and, as recommended by the Manual, are not being amortized .
Bond discounts have been deferred and are being amortized over the life
of the applicable bond issue in relation to the principal amount outstand-
ing; the amounts amortized are included in Debt Service Fund expenses .
The costs of meters and boxes and residential lines are included in
the General Fixed Assets Fund. Any reimbursements received to offset such
costs are shown as an addition to the General Operating Fund when received.

EXHIBIT F
Page 2 of 5
Note 4 : Accounting for capital items - (Continued)
�* Detailed fixed assets records are not presently maintained and the Dis-
trict has the policy of expensing currently any repair or maintenance
item which does not extend the life of the asset or increase of assets '
valuation. Depreciation is not provided in accordance with the recom-
mendations of the Manual.
Note 5 : Prior year adjustment -
Transfers to the District' s fiscal agent for bond and interest
requirements due April 1 of each year have been recorded in prior years
as expenditures of the debt service fund and a reduction of general
long-term debt instead of an increase in cash with fiscal agent. The
accumulated effect of the error on the balance sheet of the Debt Service
Fund as of March 31 , 1980 was to understate cash with fiscal agent and
fund balance by $143 ,972. The effect on net income of the Debt Service
Fund for the year then ended was immaterial. The effect on the general
long-term debt fund was to understate amount to be provided and bonds
payable by $45 ,000 .
Bond Order and legal requirements -
Note 6 : Pledge of revenues -
All of the District' s bonds are payable from the proceeds of an ad
valorem tax levied upon all taxable property subject to taxation within
the District, without limitation as to rate or amount, and are further
payable from and secured by a lien on and pledge of the net revenues to

Note 7 : Debt service requirements -
Series 1970A - 1972 :
The Bond Orders for the above-named series of bonds require that
while said bonds or any part of the principal and interest thereof are
outstanding and unpaid, there shall be levied an ad valorem tax upon all
taxable property within the District sufficient in amount to pay the
interest on such bonds , together with an additional amount to be placed
in the sinking fund sufficient to redeem such bonds at their maturity.
At such time as the net revenues from operation of the system, pledged
to the payment of these bonds , together with money derived from taxes ,
may have accumulated a surplus in the sinking fund equal to the sum to
AO be required in the succeeding year to pay the interest and principal of
the District' s obligations maturing in that year, the District' s annual
tax levies may be lowered to produce not less than 25% of the bond matu-
rities for each succeeding year. Whenever the actual experience of
three consecutive years demonstrates that the net revenues are adequate
to protect the maturities of the District's obligations, the District's
tax may be wholly abated, until further experience demonstrates the

necessity to again levy taxes to avoid default in the payments of the
District' s obligations as they may mature.
Series 1971 and 1971A:
The Bond Orders for the Series 1971 and 1971A bonds require (1)
the establishment of a Reserve Account, (2) setting out from the net
revenues of the system an amount equal to 1/6th of the next maturing
installment of interest, and (3) commencing not later than one year
prior to the first maturity of principal, an amount equal to 1/12th of
the next maturing installment of principal, and (4) a sum equal to 20%
of the total monthly principal and interest requirements for the next
maturity of principal and interest shall be paid into the Bond Fund (i .e .
• Debt Service Fund) until said fund, including the Reserve Account, shall
consist of a sum equal to the total principal and interest requirements
for the current year, plus a sum sufficient to pay the principal and
interest for the next succeeding year. After such Reserve Account shall
have been accumulated, as provided above, and so long as it shall be so
retained, the amount of net revenues from the operation of the system to
be paid into the Bond Fund each month shall equal not less than 1/6th of
the interest and 1/12th of the principal payments provided for above.
The Board of Directors agrees that the rates to be fixed and the charges
to be collected for services , together with taxes levied, shall at all
times be sufficient to make the payment into the Bond Fund, including
