Harris County Water Control and Improvement District No. 108
I have examined the combined balance sheets - all fund
types and account groups of Harris County Water Control and
Improvement District No. 108 as of March 31 , 1985 , and the
related statement of combined revenues, expenditures and
changes in fund balances - all governmental fund types , for
the year then ended. My 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 I considered necessary in the circum-
stances.
In my opinion, the statements referred to above present
fairly the financial position of Harris County Water Control
and Improvement District No. 108 at March 31 , 1985 , and the
results of its operations for the year then ended, in con-
formity with generally accepted accounting principles, applied
on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year.

HARRIS COUNTY WATER CONTROL AND IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT NO. 108
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31 , 1985
S
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 .
Note 2 : Summary of accounting policies -
The Texas Water Rights Commission (Texas Department of Water
111 Resources) adopted a "Water District Accounting Manual" in 1974 and
the use of the Manual by all water districts was required by the
Commission beginning January 1 , 1975; the District ' s accounts are
generally maintained in accordance with the Manual . The accrual
basis of accounting is followed by the District and all financial
statements were prepared on this basis. The basic financial state-
, ments of the District conform to the requirements of Statement 1 of
the National Council on Governmental Accounting and in compliance
with the directives of the Texas Department of Water Resources.
All of the fixed assets of the District are included in the
general fixed assets group of accounts and are stated at cost. The
District has the policy of expensing currently any repairs or main-
tenance which do not extend the life of the assets or increase the
assets value. Depreciation is not provided in accordance with
accepted practice for non-enterprise funds .
Property taxes are reported as revenue in the fiscal year in
which they become available to finance expenditures of the fiscal
year; tax accounts receivable but not available are recorded as
deferred revenue.
Note 3 : Budgets -
Annual budgets are prepared for the General Fund and adopted by
the District' s Board of Directors for management guidance of the
District ' s operations. Actual net revenues exceeded budgeted net
revenues by $25 , 836 representing principally the combination of the
favorable variance in total revenues of $17 , 888 and the favorable
variance in total expenditures of $7 , 948 . The favorable variance in
revenues resulted from increased water consumption of approximately
9 million gallons offset in part by decreased sewer service revenues
occassioned by a decrease in sewer rate charges as discussed in Note
7. The favorable variance in contracted services of $9 , 376, which
for the most part, resulted from an unexpected refund of $6, 157 from
the District' s operator.
Note 4 : Pledge of revenues -
All of the District' s bonds are payable from the proceeds of an
S
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
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 be received from the operation of the District ' s water-
works and sanitary sewer system after deduction of reasonable costs of
administration, efficient operation, and adequate maintenance of the
District' s service facilities in the manner provided by Chapter 217 ,
Acts of the Regular Session of the 52nd Legislature of Texas, 1951 .
Note 5: Debt service requirements -
Series 1970A - 1971A - 1972 - 1981 Bonds:
# 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 sys-
tem, pledged to the payment of these bonds, together with money deriv-
ed from taxes may have accumulated a surplus in the sinking fund equal
to the sum to 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
A 25% of the bond maturities for each succeeding year. Whenever the ac-
tual 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 payments of the District' s obligations as they may mature.
4101
Series 1971 Bonds:
The Bond Orders for the Series 1971 bonds require the establish-
ment of a Reserve Account by setting out from the net revenues of the
system and paying into the Bond Fund (i.e. Debt Service Fund) a sum
equal to 20%% of the total monthly principal and interest requirements
for the next succeeding maturity of principal and interest until said
fund shall consist of a sum equal to the total principal and interest
requirements for the next succeeding year; current interest and prin-
cipal requirements are to be deposited in equal monthly installments .
At March 31 , 1985 the Reserve Account contained the amounts required
11 by the Bond Orders.
Note 6: Redemption of bonds -
The outstanding bonds of the District are callable for redemption
prior to maturity at the option of the District. The bonds may be
called in whole or in part, in inverse numerical order, for the pur-
poses of retirement or refunding, or both, at par plus accrued inter-
est. Bonds of the Series 1970A, 1971 , 1971A, 1972 , and 1981 may be
called on October 1 , 1985 , April 1 , 1985 , April 1 , 1986 , April 1 , 1987
and April 1 , 1995 , respectively, or any interest payment date there-
after.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Note 7: Engineers report -
41 The Bond Orders of the Series 1971 bonds require a complete
engineering inspection and report of the operations and physical
condition of the system to be made each year by an independent
qualified engineer. During the fiscal year the District' s inde-
pendent engineer inspected the water system and reported favorably
on its condition.
41
Note 8: Contract with the City of Friendswood -
The District entered into a waste disposal contract with the City
of Friendswood, Texas in 1971 and under the terms of this contract the
District constructed lines and facilities to transport waste on the
41
City' s sanitary sewer trunk line facilities . Under this contract the
District is entitled to have up to 460 , 000 gallons per day treated by
the City with the City being responsible for all maintenance and oper-
ation of the plant. In 1980 , the District entered into another con-
tract with the City whereby 85% of the sewer service revenues of the
District is to be paid for waste disposal . The contract stipulates
that the sewer service charge to the District ' s customers is to be made
on the same basis used by the City of Friendswood to charge its cus-
tomers. Accordingly, the District charged its customers based on the
actual water usage each month, as did the City, and remitted 85% of
the revenue from those charges to the City. The District learned that
in 1980 the City changed the basis used to charge its customers and
11
the District has determined that their customers have been charged for
sewer services in excess of those charged by the City and as a result
have overpaid the City for sewer services. The District changed its
basis for sewer service charges beginning with April 1 , 1984 to con-
form to the basis used by the City and filed a claim for refund of
,# overpayments aggregating $46, 199 of which $19 , 250 was received during
the fiscal year. These refunds are passed on to the District' s resid-
ential customers, when received, on the basis of $3 .00 per customer
per month. At March 31 , 1985, customer refunds totaling $9, 807 had
been made and undistributed refunds of $9 , 443 have been included in
current liabilities.
Note 9 : Insurance coverages -
The Bond Orders require that so long as any of the bonds are
outstanding, the District agrees to maintain insurance for the bene-
fit of the bondholders , of a kind and in an amount which would usually
be carried by private companies engaged in a similar type of business.
The insurance agent/consultant of the District has determined that the
insurance provision of the Bond Orders have been complied with in all
material respects.
