12 THIRTY-FIRST ANNUAL REPORT OF THE
TO THE CITY COMMISSIONERS AND THE CITY MANAGER:
Dear Sirs :
We, herewith, submit for your approval our Thirty-first An-
nual Report, for the Fiscal Year of 1930-31, which exemplifies in
detail different Schedules, Statistics and Data of the City Water
Department.
THE NET PROFIT for the year was $49,339.48, or about
31/3 % on the total plant investment. This surplus is used to Ex-
tend Water Mains, make Necessary Improvements, and the bal-
ance left is transferred to the Sinking Fund and invested in safe
securities, which helps to reduce the Net Bonded Indebtedness
Cost. The NET WORTH of the plant to the City is $1,433,576.59,
which shows that the Water Department has grown to be a valu-
able asset to the City of Dubuque.
At present the Bonded Indebtedness is $310,000.00. This
amount is offset my'• the Sinking Fund Cash and Investments,
which amounts to $152,012.17, leaving a Net Bonded Indebtedness
of $157,987.83.
Our Department receives no tax levy or hydrant rental, and
furnishes free all water used by the Street, Sewer, Recreation, and
Fire Departments. It is estimated that the City used 54,600,000
gallons last year. Where plants are not municipally owned the
usual charge is 8c per thousand gallons. This makes an additional
annual saving to the City of about $43,680.00.
Schedule No. 1—Comparative Condensed Income and Balance
Sheet (Page 16) is a condensed income statement and makes
known the Loss or Gain in Revenue and Expenses. The Net In-
come decreased $562.08, which is due to an expense increase of
$1,997.04. The Balance Sheet has $34,960.48 more assets. and
$14,379 less liabilities, or a gain of $49,339.48 in the Unreserved
Interest.
Schedule No. 2—Comparative Cash Receipts, Disbursements
and Net Bonded Indebtedness (Page 17) exemplifies the total re-
ceipts, disbursements, and fund balances, together with the Sink-
ing Fund Investment. This is a clear picture of the Cash available
for either the General or Sinking Fund, and Sinking Fund Invest-
ments.
WATER DEPARTMENT, CITY OF DUBUQUE 13
Schedule No 3--Detailed Comparative Income Account (Pages
18-19). This Schedule is a detailed report on the Operating and
Non -Operating Revenue and the Operating, Maintenance, De-
preciation and Interest Expenses. The Total Revenue increased
$1,434.96 and Expense was $1,997.04 greater, making a loss in Net
Profit of $562.08 over last year.
Schedule No. 4—Detailed Report on Operating and Mainten-
ance. Expense (Page 21) explains in detail according to division
and code classifications the above mentioned items.
Schedule No. 5—Total Investment (Page 22) shows the pres-
ent day value of the Total Investment in the entire plant. During
the past year $40,356.96 was spent for improvements. Of this
amount $37,862.44 was for Main Extension, $29,417.73 was allowed
for Depreciation, making a net increase of $10,939.23 in plant value
and a Total Value of $1,522,996.80.
Schedule No. 6—Improvement and Finance Exemplifying the
Net Income in Value Under the City Manager Form of Govern-
ment from 1920 to 1931 (Page 23). The Total expended for im-
provement since 1920 is $801,495.45. Of this amount $507,445.91
was spent in adding 40 miles of water mains. A comparison of the
two Balance Sheets reveals a Net Increase of $411,430.40 for elev-
en years.
Schedule No. 7—Comparative Balance Sheet (Pages 24-25)
tells the owner or taxpayer just what the water plant is to them
and the Net Increase for the past year. On Page 24 is shown the
Fixed Assets Undepreciated, less the Allowances for Depreciation,
which gives the Total Plant Value. The following page shows a
Net Surplus or Proprietory Interest of $1,433,576.59, an increase
of $49,339.48 over last year's report.
Schedule No. 8—Budget Balances and Overdrafts (Pages 26-
27). Outside of several small overdrafts the budget was more than
lived up to. In the General Fund the Operating, Maintenance and
Betterment Expense shows a balance of $22,025.24. The Additional
Revenue amounted to $8,628.25, and $12,400.00 over the budget esti-
mate was transferred to the Sinking Fund. The General Fund has.
an unexpended balance of $17,435.38 and the Sinking Fund is
$14,461.70 ahead of the anticipated schedule making a total of
$31,896.45, which is the Actual Budget Balance and Additional
Revenue for the year.
14 THIRTY-FIRST ANNUAL REPORT OF THE WATER DEPARTMENT, CITY OF DUBUQUE 15
Schedule No. 9—Comparative Cash Receipts and Disburse-
ment Sheet (Pages 28-29). During the past year $166,115.72 cash
was collected in the General Fund. A balance of $19,806.43 was
on hand at the beginning of the year. The Disbursements amount
to $155,251.80, which includes $44,800.00, the amount transferred to
the Sinking Fund. This leaves a balance in General Fund March
31st, 1931, of $31,088.04. The Sinking Fund Balance on Hand and
Total Receipts amount to $144,401.34. The total disbursements
were $143,049.69. $41,700.00 worth of Investment Bonds were
sold and $112,000.00 were purchased. $15,000.00 worth of Bonds
Outstanding were matured in advance. This leaves a cash balance
of $1,351.65, and a combined balance March 31st, 1931, of $32,439.60.
Schedule No. 10—Bonded Indebtedness and Investments (Page
30) includes Total Indebtedness, giving the amount, date of ma-
turity and interest rate of each issue. This amount is offset by
the Bond Investments, Accrued Interest. Outstanding, and the
Sinking Fund Cash. It reduces the Net Bonded Indebtedness from
$310,000.00 to $157,987.83. The Investments total $147,200.00. Of
this amount $21,500.00 are Juvenile Playground Bonds and bear
41/4% interest, $40,700.00 are City Sewer and Improvement Bonds
and bear 5% interest. The balance $85,000.00 are Primary Road
Bonds and have interest rates of 43/4, 4/ and 4% %. On March
31st there was also outstanding $3,460.52, in interest, which is also
a credit to the Net Bonded Indebtedness.
Schedule No. 11—Sinking Fund (Page 31) shows the. proposed
schedule and how it is being lived up to. The present surplus is
$123,387.17 over the proposed schedule.
Schedule No. 12—Recapitulation of Valuation of Land, Build-
ings, Distribution System, Equipment, etc. (Pages 32-33) These
two sheets include the last year's values, the additions, the depre-
ciation expense, and the present value, which is $1,522,996.80.
Schedule No. 12—Inventory of Repairs, Tools, Supplies; and
Stock Room (Page 35) includes the inventory increases and de-
creases for the year, and the present inventory value of $23,176.46,
which is $5,161.94 less than the previous year. This decrease is
due to the fact that there is $5,126.83 less pipe, hyrant and valves
in stock than a year ago. This schedule is very useful in compil-
ing the Detailed Operating and Maintenance Costs.
Schedule No. 14—Power Cost and Monthly Pumpage per
Thousand Gallons (Pages 36-37) gives in detail the monthly and
yearly pumpage and the power cost of same. 984,036,000 gallons
of water were pumped at a cost of $23,738.23.
Pages 39 to 42 include important data, such as Comparative
Yearly and Daily Pumpage, Comparative Statements, Chemical
Analysis of Water, and Pumping Costs per thousand gallons, ac-
cording to the different expense classifications.
The Percent of Salable Water and Pumpage Accounted for
are shown on Pages 43 and 44. From these statistics we find that:
70.3% was salable; 81.7% was accounted for;
29.7% brought no revenue; 18.3% was unaccounted for.
Statistics Nos. 7 and 8 on pages 45 and 46 include Miscellan-
eous Reports and Total Cost of Operating Cars and Trucks.
The activities of the Distribution System begin on page 47
and are followed by Main, Hydrant and Valve Reports. On Pages
50 to 52 we have a complete description in detail of the Distribu-
tion System; Piping, Hydrant, Valves and Meters in service. The
report is closed with a complete description of the mains laid dur-
ing the 1930 extension program.
This is but a brief summary of the detailed report which fol-
lows and in which we endeavor to explain, to the best of our
knowledge, these finance schedules and important data.
I take this opportunity, both for my employees and myself, to
thank the City Commissioners and City Manager, and each and
every department for the hearty cooperation shown us during the
past year.
I, personally, wish to thank the employees of our, department
for rendering such splendid work. I't is through their willing co-
operation and efforts that we are able to compile this comprehen-
sive report.
J. W. McEVOY,
Superintendent.

WATER DEPARTMENT, CITY OF DUBUQUE 47
April 1st, 1931.
Mr. J. W. McEvoy, Superintendent,
Dear Sir :
I herewith submit reports for the year ending March 31st,
1931, of the additions and alterations to the Distribution System
of the Water Department. Also various data which may be of
interest to our citizens.
17,449 lineal feet of mains were laid.
19 fire hydrants were added.
55 new gate valves were installed.
Mains laid during the year make water service available to
290 building lots, and give fire protection to 61 houses located on
these lots.
At present there are about 3,414 vacant lots located along city
water mains. About 407 houses in the City of Dubuque, bordering
water mains, have not connected and 268 of these have sanitary
sewers also available.
There are about 340 houses scattered about the outskirts of
the city, where no water mains have yet been laid.
93% of Dubuque's population is using city water;
4% have water available but not connected;
3% have no water mains bordering their property.
Additional information is contained in the following reports.
Respectfully submitted,
JOSEPH STRAUB,
Field Engineer.
