About this fund
Bellingham's Water Fund is an enterprise fund operating the city's drinking-water utility — production, distribution, treatment, and customer billing. Revenue comes from water rates charged to customers; expenditures are operations, capital infrastructure, and debt service on water-system bonds. The Watershed Protection charge (which funds Fund 411) is a separate line item on water bills.

Revenue mix
Every documented inflow into this fund. By default the mix uses each source's most recent year (which means percentages mix years). Pick a single year to see strictly comparable percentages.
The Water Fund (410) is operationally distinct from the Watershed Fund (411), even though both appear on water customer bills. Fund 410 funds water-system operations; Fund 411 funds property acquisitions in the source watershed.
