4 TWENTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE
April llth, 1927.
To The City Commissioners and The City Manager.
Dear Sirs:
We herewith submit our Twenty-seventh Annual Report for the year end-
ing March 31st, 1927. We wish to call your attention to the different sched-
ules, shown in detail, finances and other important data, which has been very
useful in helping the department to lower its operating expense.
The Income Account shows a surplus of $35,563.68, which is about $4,500.00
less than last year. The revenue has increased about $3,500.00 and - -the
Operating and Maintenance Expense has decreased about $5,000.00 with an
additional pumpage for the year. The increased expense for the year was
$31,176.18 for depreciation, which was only $17,423.53 for the preceding year.
This depreciation has been set aside in the depreciation reserve. The reason
for such an increase is clue to the fact that certain steam equipment which is
only held in reserve has lost its value as far as worth is concerned and has
been reduced to a lower and more accurate asset.
The Balance Sheet shows an increase of $67,923.79 for our Fixed Assets
undepreciated. A Sinking Fund has been created to take care of, all bond
maturities and interest. During the year $73,400.00 has been deposited in the
Sinking Fund and $40,000.00 of this amount has been invested in School Re-
funding Bonds. The interest on this investment amounts to $1,700.00 each
year and will be a valuable asset to the Sinking Fund.
The City's proprietory interest in the Water Works at present is $1,252,-
114.98, an increase of $35,563.68 over last year. The bonded indebtedness was
decreased $10,000.00, making a bonded indebtedness at present of $365,000.00.
On the whole the budget was more than lived up to. The Operating and
Maintenance Expense shows a balance of about $7,000.00. A small overdraft
is shown in the Boncl and Interest Expense. This is due to a premium which
was paid on a $40,000.00 bond investment. In the Betterment Expense a sav-
ing of $18,000.00 was made when the old reservoir at Eagle Point was gunited
and covered at a cost of $10,400.31, instead of erecting a new $28,000.00 reser-
voir, which had been previously planned. The budget balance for the year is
$26,174.36 together with a $4,654.36 additional revenue shows a surplus of
$30,829.82.
Many improvements were made during the year. A new standpipe was
erected on Delhi Street. At Eagle Point a new 6,000,000 DeLaval pump was
installed and the reservoir was gunited and covered. The final payment on
West 3rd Street Station was made and main extension program of $19,812.50,
was completed. The total cost of the betterments were $67,923.79; $1,157.00
worth of old machinery was sold and $31,176.18 was set aside for depreciation.
This makes a total addition of $35,590.61 for the year.
An inventory is taken each year and the decrease is charged to the ex-
pense account, and the increase is credited to the same; so as to determine
the exact cost for the year.
The cost of pumping, figuring the different expense accounts shows as
follows:
Operating and Maintenance only .0658 per thousand gallons.
Operating, maintenance and depreciation .0962 per thousand gallons.
Operating, maintenance and Betterment Bond Interest .0822 per thou-
sand gallons.
Operating, maintenance, depreciation and betterment bond interest.
11.126 per thousand gallons.
Operating, Maintenance, depreciation, betterment bond interest paid
city on purchase bonds .1380 per thousand gallons.
DUBUQUE CITY WATER WORKS 5
This is valuable information because it enables us to govern our rates
according to the expenditures made.
Sixty-seven per cent of the water pumped was salable. 33% brought no
revenue, 76% was accounted for, 24% was unaccounted for and 9% was lost
through known sources. This is of much credit because most cities of the
size of Dubuque can only account for 50% or 60% of their pumpage.
Every man. of the department is instructed to watch for leaks, and in the
spring an inspection of stop -boxes often enables us to locate leaks with a
sonophone. During last year 167 of these leaks were repaired.
This is but a brief history of the report which follows and in which we
endeavor to explain the financial reports and data.
The department which cost the City of Dubuque only $545,000.00 in 1900
now has a proprietory interest of $1,252,114.94, or a gain of $707,114.94, every
cent of which has been accumulated year by year through the department's
own earnings. Besides showing this large asset we have one of the finest
equipped water plants in the middle west. Our stations are all fire -proof,
equipped with all of the latest pumping equipment, and with our large pro-
gram of $631,000.00 completed, it should be some time before the department
will be in need of any betterment outside of main extensions.
Our department takes this opportunity of thanking. the City Commission-
ers and the City Manager, and each and every department for the hearty co-
operation shown during the past year.
I, personally, wish to thank all of the employees of the Water Depart-
ment for the splendid work they have rendered during the past year. It was
through their willing efforts and co-operation that we are able to make this
comprehensive report.
J. W. McEVOY,
Superintendent.

TWENTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE
WHAT THE CITY MANAGER FORM OF GOVERNMENT HAS
DONE FOR THE DUBUQUE CITY WATER WORKS
When the City of Dubuque, Iowa, changed from the old alterman form of
government to the city manager form., the new administration found the City
Water Works to be greatly in need of many improvements. Pumping stations
were old and not fire -proof. The equipment was worn and becoming obsolete;
water supply was low, storage reservoirs were uncovered. Thirty streets that
had sanitary sewers were without water mains, and a large number of peti-
tions were on hand asking for water connections to their property.
There was no indebtedness on the plant, still the former administration
could not see the advisability of borrowing money to make t he very many
necessary improvements. A short while after the . new form of government
was inaugurated, they called for a survey of the National Board of Fire Under-
writers, of both the City Water Works and City Fire Department. This re-
sulted in the recommendation of a great many improvements and changes in
both departments. At the same time agreeing with the City Council that fire
insurance rates would be lowered from the very high class that Dubuque had
been placed in.
The improvements were made. The fire rate was lowered, and the citi-
zens of Dubuque are enjoying a saving of $50,000 per year in fire insurance
rates. The most important improvements made by the Water Works since
the manager's form started are as follows:
A 716 Million Gallon Reservoir, 190 ft. in diameter, was covered at a
cost of $ 36,500.00
New Fireproof Pumping Station —Eagle Point 34,704.00
New Electric Driven Equipment 115,444.00
New Fireproof Booster Station —West 3rd St. 10,215.00
New Electric Driven Equipment 16,407.00
New Artesian Well drilled (four old well were recaser and shot 17,731.00.
A 600,000 Gallon Reservoir at Eagle Point Station recased and re-
lined 10.000.0
A 600,000 Gallon Standpipe erected 17,333.00
$631,039.00
Only $375,000 in bonds were sold to cover the cost of new improvements
and extensions. The difference between the amount of bonds sold and cost of
the above improvements were paidout of the earnings of the departmnt.
Th tax -payers were told when they were asked to approve the bondissue, at
a special election it would cost them nothing. It has not and will not cost
them anything. A Sinking Fund has been created setting aside $2,700.00 per
month which will pay all interest and redeem the bonds as they mature. This
fund has been carefully worked out and approved by the City Council. The
surplus in the Sinking Fund is being invested and the interest from that
source returned back to the Sinking Fund. In that way we keep the surplus
working for the Sinking Fund.
During the past year a card index for meters, consumers' deposits, and an
alphabet index of consumers' accounts have been completed. This is a valu-
able asset to the department in locating meters, deposits, consumers' accounts
and especially delinquent and dead water bills.
