Budgets

Each year the East Orange County Water District Board of Directors approves an annual operating budget at a public meeting for the fiscal year which runs from July 1st through June 30th of each year.

Wholesale Zone Operating Budget - These are the funds budgeted for the day-to-day operation of the "Wholesale Zone," so called because these facilities provide imported (from Northern California and the Colorado River) water on a wholesale cost basis (we don't charge any additional fees on top of what we pay for the water). These costs include everything from the cost we pay for the water itself, to the materials, tools and equipment used to repair facilities, to the salaries and benefits of the employees working on the WZ. This imported water is supplied to five "retail" water agencies: the City of Tustin, Golden State Water Company (Cowen Heights/Lemon Heights area), EOCWD's own "Retail Zone," the City of Orange (emergency use only) and Irvine Ranch Water District (emergency use only).

Wholesale Zone Capital Improvement Program Budget - These funds are used solely for build, replace or rehabilitate infrastructure projects like reservoirs and pipelines,

Retail Zone Operating Budget - These funds are budgeted - similar to the Wholesale Zone Operating Budget - for the day-to-day operations of our "Retail Zone," where we provide water directly to consumers in the unincorporated East Orange County zone.

Retail Zone Capital Improvement Program Budget - Like the Wholesale Zone CIP, these funds are used to pay for the building, replacement or rehabilitation of large capital facilities.

Improvement District 1 (Sewer) Zone Operating Budget - These funds are budgeted to pay for the day-to-day operations of our sewer system to the salaries and benefits of the employees working on the sewer system.

Improvement District 1 (Sewer) Zone Capital Budget - These funds are budgeted to pay for the replacement or rehabilitation of our sewer system.
