December 6, 2016
To Board of Directors, Ratepayers and Interested Parties:
We are pleased to submit the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report of Clean Water Services (the District), a component unit of Washington County, Oregon, for the year ended June 30, 2016, together with the report thereon of the District’s independent auditors.
This report was prepared by Clean Water Services’ Business Operations Department in accordance with the provisions of Oregon Revised Statutes Chapter 297. District management assumes full responsibility for the accuracy of the data and the reliability of the presentations and all disclosures contained in this report. To provide a reasonable basis for making these representations, management of the District has established a comprehensive internal control framework that is designed both to protect the District’s assets from loss, theft, or misuse and to compile sufficient reliable information for the preparation of the District’s financial statements in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Because the cost of internal control should not exceed anticipated benefits, the objective is to provide reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance that the financial statements are free of any material misstatements. We believe the data is accurate and complete in all material respects and that it presents fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the District for the year ended June 30, 2016. This report should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis which begins on page 4.
Independent Audit
The provisions of Oregon Revised Statutes Chapter 297, known as the “Municipal Audit Law”, require that an independent audit of the District’s records be made within six months following the close of the fiscal year, with approved extensions. The auditors are appointed by the Board of Directors following a public competitive request for proposal process. The firm of Moss Adams LLP has completed its third audit of the District’s financial statements which is incorporated into the financial section of this report.
The firm of Moss Adams LLP has issued an unmodified opinion on the District’s financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2016. The independent auditor’s report is located at the front of the financial section of this report.

DISTRICT PROFILE
Clean Water Services is a county service district, which, in close cooperation with cities within its service area, provides sanitary sewer and surface water management utility services for the urbanized portion of Washington County (County) and small portions of the City of Portland, the City of Lake Oswego, and Multnomah and Clackamas counties. Clean Water Services’ service area encompasses most of the developed part of the Tualatin River watershed, an area of approximately 123 square miles and more than 95 percent of Washington County’s population. Cities located within and served by the District are as follows: Banks, Beaverton, Cornelius, Durham, Forest Grove, Gaston, Hillsboro, King City, North Plains, Sherwood, Tigard, Tualatin, and small portions of Lake Oswego and Portland.
The District began operation as Unified Sewerage Agency of Washington County on February 4, 1970 after its formation was authorized by popular vote. On July 1, 1990 it assumed responsibility for surface water management. Effective June 5, 2001, Unified Sewerage Agency of Washington County changed its name to “Clean Water Services.” The name change was made to better reflect the roles and responsibilities for providing cost-effective, environmentally sensitive management of water resources in the Tualatin River Basin.
The Clean Water Services’ Board of Directors is comprised of the same individuals who are elected to the Board of County Commissioners of Washington County. Although Clean Water Services maintains a close working relationship with Washington County, the District is a separately managed and financed municipal corporation under Oregon Revised Statutes Chapter 451. Administration and management of the District is the responsibility of the General Manager, who is appointed by the Board of Directors. Under the criteria of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB), the District is considered a component unit of Washington County for financial reporting purposes.
Operational and technical input to the Board is provided by Clean Water Services’ Advisory Commission (CWAC), a Board-appointed commission of 15 members.
Accounting Systems & Budgetary Control
Clean Water Services’ accounting records are maintained by fund on a modified accrual accounting basis for budgetary reporting purposes. For financial reporting purposes, the financial statements are presented on a full accrual basis.
The Board of Commissioners is required to adopt a final budget prior to the beginning of the fiscal year. This annual budget serves as the foundation of the District’s financial planning and control. The legal level of budgetary control is by fund and organizational unit or other specified category, in accordance with Oregon Revised Statutes Local Budget Law.
For budgetary and legal purposes, the activities are accounted for in the funds described below:
General Fund - accounts for normal recurring sewerage operations (also referred to as theOperating Fund).
Storm and Surface Water Management Fund - accounts for normal storm and surface watermanagement operations.
Transmittal Letter To Board of Directors, Ratepayers and Interested Parties: (Continued)

Master Plan Update Debt Service Fund - accounts for the redemption of bond principal andinterest.
Liability Reserve Fund - accounts for the District’s self-insurance programs.
Capital Expenditure Reserve Funds - (one each for Sanitary and Surface Water Management) -account for the recovery of capital costs for maintenance, upkeep and improvement of thesystems.
Tualatin Basin Water Supply Capital Project Fund – accounts for the transactions of the TualatinBasin Water Supply Project, which is a joint project to provide additional water volume toenable continued compliance with water quality requirements.
Sanitary Sewer (LID) Construction Fund, Surface Water Management (LID) Construction Fund,and Sanitary Sewer and Surface Water Management Construction Funds - account for capitalconstruction expenditures by the District, or for capital construction expenditures made for thebenefit of property owners in the case of the Sanitary Sewer and Surface Water ManagementLID Construction Funds.
Revenue Pension Bond Debt Service Fund - accounts for the payment of the Series 2004Revenue Pension Bonds used to finance the District’s unfunded actuarial liability in Oregon’sPublic Employees Retirement System.
ECONOMIC CONDITION AND OUTLOOK
The economy of the District's service area reflects a diversity of industries including agriculture, high technology, sports apparel and services. Major employment industries in Washington County include professional and business services (19%), wholesale/retail trade (16%), computer and electronic equipment manufacturing (10%), healthcare and social services (10%), government services (8%) and leisure and hospitality (9%). The unemployment rate in Washington County continued a steady decline of about one percent per year with rates falling from a high of 10.3 percent in 2009 to a rate of 4.7 percent in June 2016, with the second lowest unemployment rate in Oregon. Washington County has experienced strong job growth, adding 40,165 jobs between 2010 and 2015, and per capita personal income is showing signs of modest continual growth. Washington County’s per capita personal income has consistently outpaced state average, and was second highest in the state in 2015.
Washington County, the second most populous county in Oregon, continues to be one of the fastest growing counties in the state, adding 40,800 more residents between 2011 and 2016. The region-wide population growth trend has remained steady. Although official population estimates for special districts are not available, Clean Water Services’ estimates the population of its service area at approximately 570,000. Population growth within the District’s service area has consistently outpaced population growth within the region over the past decade or more, and is expected to add an additional 170,000 people by 2030.

IV
LONG RANGE FINANCIAL PLANNING AND RELEVANT FINANCIAL POLICIES
To ensure Clean Water Services is poised for the future to respond to continued economic growth at affordable customer rates, District rate increases are planned to be regular, predictable and relatively affordable, with capital plans that are phased so that revisions can be made to improve operational efficiencies and respond to changes in customer demand. In concert with the above, fund balances shall be kept at levels that provide appropriate working capital, funding for operating contingencies and planned capital improvements, while ensuring favorable credit ratings and maintaining strong coverage ratios. Moreover, financial forecasts are conservatively constructed so the District does not overestimate concomitant revenue growth.
The District’s policies on rates and careful management of resources have allowed the District to limit estimated average annual combined residential sanitary sewer and surface water management fee increases for the last ten years to less than 4.27 percent.
MAJOR NEW AND ONGOING INITIATIVES
District Forms Captive Insurance Company
On February 16, 2016, the Clean Water Services Board of Directors approved the District’s formation of Clean Water Insurance Company, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the District, domiciled in the state of Hawaii. The District is the sole member of this captive insurance company, which will operate for the benefit of the District and its ratepayers. The captive, which will be managed by the District, will result in long term risk management program savings through the use of a formalized self-insurance program that can access the reinsurance markets for additional seismic coverages as well as provide a potential for funding of loss prevention and mitigation projects to further protect District assets or recover from a seismic event.
Investing in Watershed Health
Clean Water Services has spent more than 40 years pursuing a cohesive strategy to advance the health of the Tualatin River Watershed for 570,000 residents in 12 cities. Through innovation, scientific knowledge and creativity we work to improve environmental health and value for our customers. These efforts have paid dividends for water quality, public health, and our community—the Tualatin River is healthier than it has been in generations and has become a valued recreational asset.
In September 2014 Clean Water Services set the highest bar yet in Tree-For-All with a goal to plant one million trees in one year for “one water”. We did it! Through innovative and collaborative partnerships in urban and agricultural areas we met and exceeded the challenge. And we’re not done. Tree-For-All is using Mother Nature as its guide to develop and implement long-term stewardship strategies while making the Tualatin Watershed a showcase of economic prosperity, ecological health, and community wellness. By implementing community-based restoration and enhancing the benefits that natural resources provide, we are leveraging partnerships to meet Clean Water Services’ goal of beautiful clean water while also meeting our partner’s goals – natural areas for wildlife, cleaner air, noise reduction, and scenic beauty – all at lower cost than if we did it alone.

Investing in Infrastructure, Public Health and the Environment
In the last 10 years, Clean Water Services and our partner cities have invested more than $100 million to expand, replace and upgrade our community’s four wastewater treatment facilities, 40 pump stations, 838 miles of sewer lines, and 516 miles of storm sewers.
2015-16 Achievements
Cleaned more than 23.0 billion gallons of wastewater.
Recycled 31 dry tons of biosolids a day applied to agricultural fields in the Willamette Valley andeastern Oregon to improve soil condition and crop production.
Monitored nearly 1,000 strict permit conditions at each treatment facility, including monthly,weekly and daily limits established to protect the Tualatin River.
Swept more than 12,715 miles of streets, collecting almost 687 dump truck loads of debris, andcleaned more than 16,141 catch basins, collecting material equivalent to 218 dump truck loads,to keep pollutants out of our river and streams.
Replaced 239 sanitary sewer laterals and rehabilitated 12,882 linear feet of sewer mains and518 manholes associated with the Infiltration and Inflow (I/I) reduction program.
District and member cities retrofitted 86 catch basins to provide additional water qualitytreatment.
Increased area treated by 431 acres to almost 30% of the basin. Managed over 500 permits issued to industrial customers to monitor and control their
discharges to the wastewater treatment facilities and to stormwater.
Investing in Public Involvement & Education
Clean Water Services reaches out to the community to encourage residents to join our efforts in protecting public health, enhancing the region’s environmental quality of life, and planning for the region’s water future.
2015-16 Achievements
Maintained and promoted Westside Voices (www.joinwestsidevoices.org ) –an onlinecommunity engagement panel that allows residents to weigh in on community issues throughsurveys and focus groups. Just over 2,000 residents participate in the two-year-oldprogram. Westside Voices is a partnership between Clean Water Services, Washington County,other local agencies and nonprofits.
The award-winning Tualatin River Rangers program reached 3,000 students and an estimated6,000 adults at nearly 50 percent of public elementary schools in the Tualatin Basin.
Nearly 600 high school science students participated in Sewer Science and got hands oneducation about water treatment followed by a facility tour.
More than 1,500 people from around the world toured Clean Water Services treatmentfacilities to learn how wastewater is cleaned at a higher level than 98% of the nation’s facilities.
This year the Fernhill Natural Treatment System project continued to attract thousands ofvisitors including 600 who attended five public events (Birds and Brew, May Day, treeplantings), engaged 300 students from nine Tualatin Basin schools in place-based education,

hosted tours and projects by students from Pacific University, Portland Community College (PCC), and Portland State University (PSU), and was the subject of tours or presentations to 8 civic and professional groups.
To engage our community in a discussion about water and how we can make water fit forpurpose, the District launched the Pure Water Brew project. The District supplied high puritywater from 100% effluent to a non-profit association of local home brewers, the Oregon BrewCrew (OBC). Twenty-five homebrewers from the OBC brewed beer and submitted entries to acompetition sponsored by Carollo. The top ten were featured at tastings at the nationalWateReuse Symposium and the Water Environment Federation Conference. The project so farhas generated regional, national, and international coverage with more than 500 media storiesand started a wonderful conversation about the nature of water and how it is continuallyrecycled and reused.
Investing in Resource Recovery
Wastewater treatment has transformed over the last decade, moving from waste disposal to a growing recognition as resource recovery facilities that produce clean water, recover valuable nutrients, and produce clean, renewable energy. Clean Water Services is on the leading edge of this transformation:
2015-16 Achievements
Provided 92.3 million gallons of irrigation water to more than 250 acres of athletic fields, golfcourses, wetlands and parks from the Durham Advanced Wastewater Treatment Facility.
Provided another 54.5 million gallons of Class A irrigation water from the Rock Creek AdvancedTreatment Facility to the wetlands and Natural Treatment System at Fernhill.
The Durham and Rock Creek Resource Recovery Facilities recycled phosphorus and ammonia toproduce 464 tons of Crystal Green® fertilizer for sale to the commercial nursery and turfindustry.
Generated 11.3 million kWh of renewable energy by capturing digester gas from the Rock Creekand Durham facilities as well as solar power at Durham to meet approximately 22% of theDistrict’s electrical demands.
Continued the development of Clean Water Grow™, a slow-release fertilizer that helps reducenutrient runoff to waterways by gently releasing nutrients as plants use them. It’s Clean WaterServices’ opportunity to provide ratepayers with a product—a critical part of which is harvestedfrom our treatment plants—that can help further reduce the amount of phosphorus runoff intostreams. The fertilizer is offered at many retail nurseries around the region as well as nativeplant sales and farmers markets. This product is made possible by the ratepayer’s investmentin building the nation’s most advanced resource recovery facilities at the Durham and RockCreek Treatment Facilities.

Investing in Science
Together with the USGS, DEQ and the Washington County Watermaster, Clean Water Services has conducted comprehensive water quality and flow monitoring of the Tualatin River and its tributaries for more than two decades. This integrated monitoring program has allowed water resource managers to be more responsive to the needs and potential of the watershed.
2015-16 Achievements
The Water Quality Laboratory collected nearly 27,000 treatment plant, stormwater, surfacewater and industrial samples and performed nearly 114,000 chemical, biological and physicalanalyses to help Clean Water Services assure the health and safety of the Tualatin Riverwatershed and its residents.
Monitored more than two dozen water quality parameters at 27 sites on the Tualatin River andits tributaries on a twice per month basis and also assumed the operation of a continuous waterquality monitoring station on Beaverton Creek.
The Laboratory supported research and projects that included frog embryo survival inKingfisher Marsh, effects of tributary flow restoration on water quality, harmful algae blooms,and fungal uptake and degradation of pollutants, along with a number of studies on improvingefficiencies and effectiveness at the wastewater treatment facilities.
Working with the Watermaster and consultants, Clean Water Services managed andmaintained more than 15 stream flow gauging stations to continuously measure the flow in theTualatin River, Dairy, Fanno, Rock, Beaverton, Gales, Chicken Creeks, and many other TualatinRiver tributaries.
Working with the USGS, gathered continuous, real-time water quality data in the Tualatin Riverand major tributaries.
Investing in Community and Building Partnerships
Clean Water Services is building innovative partnerships to create a shared vision and strategy to advance the health of the Tualatin River Watershed:
2015-16 Achievements
Worked with the Tualatin Soil and Water Conservation District, Tualatin Hills Park andRecreation District, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Metro and other partners on over 100 milesof stream corridors that have been restored in agricultural and urban areas. This work providestemperature, water quality, habitat and recreational benefits along the Tualatin River andtributaries.
Inspired Cities, non-profits, park districts, private landowners and agricultural partners to planta diverse collection of more than 2,000,000 native trees, shrubs and plants along streams,wetlands and the river to filter pollutants, provide shade and create healthy wildlife habitat aspart of the Tree-For-All campaign.
Catalyzed community organizations to rally more than 6,600 volunteers to get their hands dirtyon behalf of Mother Nature. The volunteers donated more than 17,000 hours, an estimated

value of $375,000, and they rooted over 50,000 native plants to clean water, purify air, create wildlife habitat and promote Washington County’s scenic beauty.
Partnered with community restoration organizations to access and deploy advancedtechnologies that increase efficiency of large scale planting operations and reduce staff timeassociated with plant inventory management and site review.
Partnered with Portland Community College to develop Vegetated Private Water QualityFacilities Management Training modules.
Partnered with the City of Tigard to restore the confluence of Derry Dell and Fanno Creeks. Thisrestoration project reconnected the floodplain to Derry Dell Creek, eliminated three sanitarysewer creek crossings and an existing fish barrier at the Walnut Street culvert.
Partnered with Washington County to construct Bio-retention Swale using a remnant parcelowned by the County, resulting in stormwater treatment to over 65 acres of existing developedarea.
Received Salmon Safe certification for site management of District facilities by meetingstringent qualifications for conserving urban habitat and water quality.
Regulatory Climate
In February 2004, the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) issued Clean Water Services the nation’s first integrated, municipal, watershed-based permit under the Clean Water Act. This innovative permit integrates the District’s four municipal wastewater treatment facilities and the municipal stormwater system permits into an integrated bundle, which changes the regulatory framework to allow the District greater flexibility to take advantage of creative approaches and new solutions. The watershed-based permit was renewed by DEQ in 2016. The renewed watershed-based permit continues to include several elements that were first included in the 2004 permit:
Water quality credit trading for thermal loads between treatment facilities and the release ofstored water from Hagg Lake and Barney Reservoirs.
Water quality credit trading for thermal loads between treatment facilities and streamsideshading improvements outside and inside the District’s service boundary.
Establishes performance benchmarks for the stormwater management activities of the District,its partner cities and Washington County as a whole.
Consolidation of regulatory reporting requirements.
Additionally, the renewed permit expands the watershed approach by allowing for new discharges from a natural treatment system in Forest Grove, expands thermal load trading strategies, and includes a bubble–load concept for suspended solids that provides operational flexibility to the District’s treatment facilities. The renewed permit also provides greater flexibility for the District to optimize operations and fully utilize existing infrastructure while accommodating new growth in the basin. The permit greatly increases monitoring requirements, establishes new limits for ammonia during the wet season, and increases reporting requirements to respond to changing regulatory requirements. Regulatory changes, including new, more stringent water quality standards for the protection of human health, more aggressive stormwater management requirements, and the stricter

controls on wet weather flow management will pose new challenges to the District in maintaining regulatory compliance and meeting the overall ecological objectives for the Tualatin basin.
Water Quality Requirements The Environmental Quality Commission (EQC) has adopted several pollution control strategies known as Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) including those for phosphorus, temperature, bacteria, and ammonia-nitrogen in the Tualatin River to protect water quality and restore impaired beneficial uses of the river. The TMDLs define the quality of effluent that the District’s treatment plants may discharge to the Tualatin River. Limits are the most restrictive during the dry weather season. The TMDL structure targets in-stream concentration for phosphorus and maintaining adequate dissolved oxygen in the river. Augmentation of stream flows and thermal load trading occurs during the summer to reduce stream temperatures. As growth occurs, limits have been established to control ammonia, along with Hydraulic loading and mass limits affect during peak wintertime flows.
Limits set on the Durham and Rock Creek Wastewater Treatment Plants’ effluent are some of the most stringent in the United States for phosphorus and ammonia-nitrogen. As a result, the District currently provides a higher level of wastewater treatment than 98 percent of the treatment facilities in the nation.
User Charges Clean Water Services’ Board of Directors is authorized by state law to set fees and charges for connection to, and use of, the public sewer system and connection to, and/or use of, the public facilities and public services related to surface water management, including storm water drainage. The District is 100 percent fee and charge supported. The District bills for all residential and non-industrial commercial customers in the unincorporated areas and in the smaller “franchise” cities of North Plains, Banks, Gaston, Durham, and King City. The cities of Beaverton, Tigard, Hillsboro, Tualatin, Forest Grove, Cornelius and Sherwood bill for services to residential and non-industrial commercial customers within their respective corporate limits and remit a portion of fees collected to the District by agreement. The cities of Portland and Lake Oswego bill residential and non-industrial customers within the District’s service area and remit a portion of fees collected to the District by agreement. The District directly bills all industrial permit holders. Clean Water Services establishes a basic schedule of rates and charges annually, and the Cities of Beaverton, Tigard, Hillsboro, Tualatin, Forest Grove, Cornelius and Sherwood bill according to District developed schedules. These seven largest cities may also approve additional supplemental charges. The Cities of Portland and Lake Oswego may bill at different rates but remit funds for District customers based on District rates. The monthly billing rate for residential and commercial sewer customers is calculated by adding a consumption component to a base rate component. The District’s average residential, commercial and industrial sewer rates for fiscal year 2016 increased by approximately 3 percent from fiscal year 2015.
Transmittal Letter To Board of Directors, Ratepayers and Interested Parties: (Continued)

Industrial customers are billed for domestic wastewater flows in a manner that is essentially identical to the process outlined above for residential and other non-industrial customers. Industrial and commercial customers with high-waste flows and high-strength wastes are monitored for permit compliance (including onsite pretreatment) and billed based on four components: volume, biochemical oxygen demand, suspended solids, and customer service.
Surface Water Management (SWM) fees are based on measured impervious surface areas, including roofs, paved areas such as parking lots and roads, and charged against an average residential measurement (2,640 square feet) or equivalent service unit (ESU). The rate charged for SWM services is $7.25 per month per ESU, an increase of 7.4% or $.50 per month to the average residential customer’s bill from fiscal year 2015. Residences are typically charged a flat 1.0 ESU rate.
AWARDS
The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States of America and Canada (GFOA) awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to Clean Water Services for its Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015. This was the 29th consecutive year that the District has achieved this prestigious award. In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, a government must publish an easily readable and efficiently organized CAFR. The report must satisfy both generally accepted accounting principles and applicable legal requirements. A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. We believe that our current CAFR continues to meet the Certificate of Achievement Program’s requirements and we are submitting it to the GFOA to determine its eligibility for another certificate. In addition, the District’s Adopted Budget Document for the Fiscal Year 2015-16 received the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award from GFOA. This was the 28th consecutive year that the District has achieved this prestigious award. In order to qualify, the budget document must be judged proficient as a policy document, a financial plan, an operations guide and a communications device. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Clean Water Services would like to thank the entire Finance Team whose professionalism, dedication and efficiency are responsible for the preparation of this report.
The District closes with a word of thanks for the continuing support of the Board of Directors in providing District staff with the tools necessary to assist in the careful stewardship of public resources.

CLEAN WATER SERVICES
A Component Unit of Washington County, Oregon
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2016
As management of Clean Water Services (the District), a component unit of Washington County, Oregon, we offer readers of the District’s financial statements this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016. We encourage readers to consider the information presented here in conjunction with additional information that we have furnished in our letter of transmittal (which can be found on pages I‐X of this report), and in the financial statements and notes to the basic financial statements (which immediately follow this discussion).
Financial Highlights
The assets and deferred outflows of resources of the District exceeded its liabilities and deferred inflows of resources at the close of the fiscal year by $687.2 million (net position). Of this amount, $119.3 million represents unrestricted net position, which may be used to meet the District’s ongoing obligations to ratepayers and creditors.
The District’s total net position increased by $49.2 million mainly due to net proceeds from current year operations and capital contributions from developers.
The District’s total net capital assets increased $14.5 million primarily due to capital assets constructed and purchased in the current year totaling $42.6 million, and contributions of infrastructure systems and easements by developers totaling $14.4 million less District contributions of capital assets and loss on disposal totaling $2.8 million and current year depreciation and amortization of $39.7 million.
Debt service coverage for senior debt was 3.06, which exceeded the 1.2 required by the bond covenants. The District had no subordinate debt outstanding during the year.
Operating revenues total $130.1 million, an increase of $4.6 million. This is primarily attributed to a rate increase for sanitary and storm service charges during the year.
Operating expenses total $108.9 million, an increase of $19.3 million. The primary contributing factor is an increase in labor costs related to pension expense in the current year.
Long‐term debt decreased by $15.6 million due to payment of outstanding bonds. The District had $229.1 million in net debt outstanding at year‐end.

Overview of the Financial Statements
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to Clean Water Services’ basic financial statements. The basic financial statements consist of the Statement of Net Position, Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position, Statement of Cash Flows and Notes to Basic Financial Statements. The notes explain in more detail some of the information in the financial statements.
Financial Statements
The Statement of Net Position includes all of the District’s assets, liabilities, and deferred inflows/outflows of resources, with the difference reported as net position. This statement provides information about the nature and amounts of investments in resources (assets) and the obligations to the District’s creditors (liabilities). They also provide the basis for computing rate of return, evaluating the capital structure of the District and assessing the liquidity and financial flexibility of the District. Over time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the District is improving or deteriorating.
All of the current year’s revenues and expenses are accounted for in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position. This statement measures the success of the District’s operations over the past year and can be used to determine whether the District has successfully recovered all its costs through its user fees and other charges, and its profitability and credit worthiness.
The last financial statement is the Statement of Cash Flows. The primary purpose of this statement is to provide information about the District’s cash receipts and cash payments during the reporting period. The statement reports cash receipts, cash payments and net changes in cash resulting from operations, investing and financing activities and provides answers to such questions as where did the cash come from, what was the cash used for and what was the change in cash balance during the reporting period.
Clean Water Services maintains two operations, Sanitary Sewer and Surface Water Management (SWM), which the District accounts for and discloses separately in the Combining and Individual Schedules on pages 57‐59 of this report. These statements offer short and long‐term financial information about the activities of the two operations.
Notes to Basic Financial Statements
The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the government‐wide statements. The Notes to Basic Financial Statements can be found on pages 19‐53 of this report.
Other Information
In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also presents certain required supplementary information concerning the District’s other post‐employment health benefits,

Financial Analysis
Financial Position
As noted earlier, net position over time may serve as a useful indicator of financial position. In the case of Clean Water Services, assets and deferred outflows of resources exceeded liabilities and deferred inflows of resources by $687.2 million at the close of the most recent fiscal year, an increase of $49.2 million. The table below provides a summary of net position at fiscal year‐end.

Net PositionJune 30, 2016
Net Position
By far the largest portion of Clean Water Services’ net position (63.5%) reflects its investment in capital assets (e.g., treatment facilities, collection and conveyance systems, land, sewer lines, stormwater management improvements, buildings, plant and office equipment and automotive equipment), less
any related outstanding debt used to acquire or construct those assets. Clean Water Services uses these capital assets to provide services to ratepayers; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although Clean Water Services’ investment in capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from
services to customers (ratepayers) or other sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities.
An additional portion of Clean Water Services’ net position (19.1%) represents resources that are subject to external restrictions on how they may be used. These restricted net assets include System Development Charges (SDC’s) collected from District customers when they connect to the sanitary sewer system to pay the cost of infrastructure expansion as needed to meet demands of population growth and to share cost burdens with existing customers for collection and treatment systems already built, funds restricted for debt service, and funds restricted for capital asset construction.
The remaining balance of unrestricted net position ($119.3 million or 17.4%) may be used to meet the District’s ongoing obligations to ratepayers and creditors.

Revenues
Total revenues for FY 2016, including operating revenues, non‐operating revenues and contributed capital, totaled $169.4 million, an increase of approximately 6% over FY 2015. The increase in total revenues was primarily due to an increase in service fees and capital contributions.
Sanitary & SWM Service Charges: Operating revenue consists mainly of user charges for sewage and storm services. Monthly service charge revenues increased by 3.9%, totaling $124.2 million. This increase was primarily related to the sanitary sewer rate increase of 3% and a corresponding rate increase for the SWM service charge of 7.4% along with customer growth.
Capital Contributions: This revenue source includes System Development Charges (SDC’s), developer donated infrastructure, donated easements and third party contributions for District projects. Capital contributions totaled $37.0 million, an increase of $4.5 million, or 13.9% compared to the prior year. The increase is split between an increase in connections to the system (customer base growth) and developer donated infrastructure and donated easements as compared to the prior year. The increase also reflects a one‐time transfer of contributed capital of $336,000 to form the Captive insurance company.
Other Income: This revenue source includes all other fees, grant revenues, subsidy payments and refunds. Other income decreased by $0.1 million, or 1.9%. A majority of these revenues relate to a one‐time revenue source for the District.
Investment Income: Investment income totaled $2.3 million in 2016, an increase of $0.4 million compared to 2015, attributed to increased cash invested and investment valuation gains at year‐end.

Expenses
Total expenses for FY 2016, including operating expenses, non‐operating expenses and donated capital, totaled $120.2 million, an increase of approximately 16.9% over FY 2015. The increase in total expenses was primarily due to an increase in labor and benefit costs.
Operating costs increased by $19.3 million or 21.5%. This increase was due to the increase in labor costs related to the addition of 10 full‐time‐equivalent (FTE) positions during the year, and the increase in pension expense by $12.0 million resulting from the shift from a net pension asset of $5.8 million in the prior year to a net pension liability of $15.0 million at year‐end. All other operating costs including utilities, professional services, supplies and depreciation and amortization were relatively flat or decreased during the year.
Non‐operating costs decreased by $1.9 million or 14.3%. Bond debt service interest expense decreased by $0.9 million due to a decrease in debt service of $0.5 million with the final payoff of the Series 2010A Revenue Bonds in October 2015, and an increase in capitalized interest during FY 2016 of $0.4 million, consistent with the increase in Construction‐in‐Progress at year‐end. Capital donations to others decreased by $1.0 million or 30.7%. Capital donations include project costs incurred by the District on joint construction projects with other local jurisdictions. Once the project is complete, the asset is donated to the jurisdiction that owns the asset and will continue to maintain it.
The District’s financial condition remains strong, with adequate liquid assets for ongoing operations, treatment plants and collection systems functioning at a level necessary to meet demand and a reasonable level of unrestricted net position. The current financial condition, support staff capabilities and Operating and Capital Improvement Plans (CIP) needed to meet anticipated growth within the service area are well balanced and under control.

Long‐term debt
Debt outstanding at year‐end is summarized in the table below. Revenue bonds, which are the District’s principal source of debt financing, are paid from sanitary sewer system operating revenues.
As of year‐end, the District had total net bonded debt outstanding of $229.1 million versus $244.7 million at the end of fiscal year 2015, and of that amount $16.3 million is due within one year. All of this debt (i.e., revenue bonds) is secured solely by specified revenue sources of the sanitary sewer operations.
Sewer revenue bonds are expected to be the preferred debt instrument for the District. The District advanced refunded a portion of the Series 2009A Revenue Bonds in October 2016. The District’s strong financial position resulted in an upgrade in the rating by Standard & Poor’s from AA+ to AAA and Moody’s from Aa2 to Aa1.
Historically, District bond credit ratings have been enhanced by funding required debt service reserves with bond surety insurance policies. District bond surety providers experienced significant credit rating downgrades in 2008, which created the need to fund debt service reserve requirements on the District’s recent issues with cash from bond proceeds. This change in practice will also enhance the District’s capacity to market future bond issues.
Additional information on Clean Water Services long‐term debt can be found in note 7 on pages 33‐37 of this report.

Economic Factors and Next Year's Budgets and Rates
The adopted budget for 2017 reflects a 2.7% increase in operating expenses. This increase is primarily due to increased labor costs of $1.6 million or 4.2%, which reflects an increase of 8.45 FTE from the prior year. Materials and services are expected to increase by approximately $160,500, or 0.6% and capital outlay decreased by $13,700 or 3.1% for equipment purchases.
Budgeted positions for fiscal year 2017 increased by 8.45 FTE, or 2.6% from the prior year.
Adopted sanitary sewer fee rates increased by 3% for fiscal year 2017. This will add an estimated $1.21 per month to the average residential customer’s bill. Storm water maintenance fees are increasing by 6.9%, which will add an estimated 50 cents per month to the average residential customer’s bill.
The District has budgeted for an estimated $67.1 million in new sanitary sewer system improvements and $3.9 million in new surface water management system improvements in FY 2017. These projects will be funded using a combination of cash reserves from system development charges and service fees and contributions from developers or partnering agencies. These investments are planned to increase system capacity, meet regulatory requirements for water quality, and enhance overall watershed health.
The adopted budget for FY 2017 reflects relatively flat debt service with an increase of just 0.5%.
All of these factors were considered in preparing Clean Water Services’ budget for the 2017 fiscal year.
The District annually prepares a 10‐year financial outlook that incorporates capital improvement planning (CIP) with operational planning. The 10‐year CIP plans are developed using new project requests and updates to the status of existing projects. The CIP plans are developed by division and program managers and reviewed with recommendations as to projects needing funding incorporated into the financial forecast. Project spending is then matched with either cash reserves or debt financing. Depending upon the reserves needed, the financial plan then becomes a model of integrating productivity improvements, growth projections, rate increases, debt restructuring and debt financing of capital. The first year of the CIP becomes the basis for the next year’s budget with respect to investments in capital improvements.
The current 10‐year forecast projects that estimated future sanitary operating revenues will safely cover operating expenses and all current and future debt service requirements. The current 10‐year forecast for SWM operations indicates ending reserves will slowly increase if the District manages SWM capital expenditures with modest annual increases going forward and continues to increase the SWM rates annually consistent with the recent trending at $0.50 per ESU. The District will continue to evaluate the need for capital expenditures and options for funding costs in the future.

CLEAN WATER SERVICES (A Component Unit of Washington County, Oregon)
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2016

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Reporting Entity
Clean Water Services (the District) (formerly known as the Unified Sewerage Agency of Washington County), a Component Unit of Washington County, Oregon was formed February 4, 1970 under the provisions of Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) Chapter 451 to operate a sanitary sewer system in the Tualatin River Drainage Basin. Sixteen individual sanitary districts were consolidated to form the District. Subsequently, thirteen municipalities selected the District to perform sewage collection and treatment of waste. On July 1, 1990, the District assumed responsibility for surface water management in the Basin. As required by ORS 451.485, the Washington County Board of Commissioners is the governing body of the District. Principal funding sources are charges to users and system development charges (SDCs).
The District is considered a component unit of Washington County, Oregon (County) because the elected officials of the County also serve as the Board for the District. The District is presented in the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report of the County as a discretely presented component unit to emphasize the District’s separate enterprise operations.
Clean Water Institute
On March 2, 2010, the Clean Water Services Board of Directors instructed the District to form Clean Water Institute (CWI). The General Manager of the District currently serves as the Executive Director for CWI. One of the District’s Board Members currently serves on CWI’s Board.
CWI is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) formed to advance watershed restoration and resource recovery through innovative strategies and to promote scientific research, education, and environmental protection activities that benefit watersheds throughout the country and around the world. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, the transactions between the District and CWI are deemed to be immaterial, and therefore, CWI is not reported as a component unit of the District.
Clean Water Insurance Company
On February 16, 2016, the Clean Water Services Board of Directors instructed the District to form Clean Water Insurance Company (CWIC or “the Captive”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the District, domiciled in the state of Hawaii. The District is the sole member of this captive insurance company.
The Captive is a registered Limited Liability Company (LLC) formed to advance long term risk management program savings through the use of a formalized self-insurance program that can access the reinsurance markets for additional seismic coverages as well as provide a potential for funding of loss prevention and mitigation projects to further protect District assets or recover from a seismic event.
The Captive was initially funded with cash reserves from the District’s non-represented employee self-insurance dental plan with a transfer of $336,000 to fund operations beginning July 1, 2016 and to meet minimum capital and surplus requirements set by the State of Hawaii of $250,000.
CLEAN WATER SERVICES (A Component Unit of Washington County, Oregon)
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2016
20
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
The Captive is considered a component unit of the District and is presented in the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report of the District as a blended component unit because it provides services exclusively to the District. CWIC issues separate financial statements and they can be obtained upon request from the District.
(b) Basis of Presentation and Accounting
The District's financial statements are maintained on a flow of economic resources measurement focus. With this measurement focus, all assets and liabilities are included in the Statement of Net Position. The Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position presents increases (e.g. revenues) and decreases (e.g. expenses) in total net position.
The District’s financial statements are presented on the accrual basis of accounting. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recorded at the time they are earned and expenses are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred.
The District reports the following operating segment:
The sanitary sewer operations segment accounts for the activities of the District which manage the public sanitary system. The District operates 4 sewage treatment plants, 40 pump stations, and maintains responsibility for 758 miles of sanitary gravity mains, 66 miles of force mains, and 14 miles of reuse mains.
(c) Operating vs. Nonoperating Revenues and Expenses
The District has defined operating revenues to include all service charges and other applicable charges for services directly attributable to providing either sanitary or surface water management services, plan check, product sales or other related activity.
Operating expenses are defined as those expenses directly related to providing services including administrative expenses and depreciation and amortization, and excludes personnel services utilized directly for capital projects which are charged to capital assets.
Nonoperating revenues and expenses are not directly attributable to the services provided. This includes investment interest, capital donations and contributions, gain (loss) on disposal of capital assets, gain (loss) on equity in joint ventures and non-operating grant revenue. Capital donations relate to infrastructure constructed by the District which is donated to another jurisdiction upon completion. Capital contributions include sewer and storm connections fees collected from customers newly connecting to the system and developer constructed infrastructure donated to the District.
(d) Cash and Investments
The District’s cash and investments are comprised of pooled funds held and invested by 1) the Washington County Department of Support Services, Finance Division, 2) the State of Oregon Treasurer’s Local Government Investment Pool, 3) Tualatin Valley Water District as a fiscal agent, and 4) Bank of Hawaii for the Captive. Cash and investments are presented at fair value in accordance with GASB Statement No. 31, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Certain Investments and for External Investment Pools, and GASB Statement No 72, Fair Value
CLEAN WATER SERVICES (A Component Unit of Washington County, Oregon)
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2016

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Measurement and Application. Interest earned on investments is allocated monthly by the County based upon the District’s average monthly cash balance.
(e) Cash Equivalents/Statement of Cash Flows
For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents include all cash and investments held by the District’s Treasurer, since it has the general characteristics of a demand deposit (i.e. deposits of additional cash may be made at any time and cash may be withdrawn at any time without prior notice or penalty).
(f) Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable represent user charges which are recognized as earned. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established for amounts deemed to be uncollectible, based on historical collection percentages. At June 30, 2016, the allowance was $340,000.
(g) Materials and Supplies Inventory
Inventories of operating supplies and repair parts are valued at the lower of cost (average cost) or market and are charged against operations as used.
(h) Assessments and Contracts Receivable
Assessments receivable represent amounts assessed against property owners for local sewer improvements. An allowance for doubtful accounts is not deemed necessary as the assessments represent liens against the property. Outstanding assessments are payable over ten to twenty years at interest rates ranging from 3.5% to 6.46%.
(i) Restricted Assets and Liabilities
Assets, the use of which is restricted to specific purposes by state statute, bond indenture, or other outside party, and related liabilities, are segregated on the Statement of Net Position.
(j) Capital Assets
Capital asset items purchased are valued at historical cost or estimated historical cost if actual historical cost is not available. Contributed capital assets are recorded at estimated fair market value at the time received.
Major additions, improvements and replacements including related plans and studies are capitalized. Normal maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Gains or losses realized from disposal of capital assets are reflected in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position. Assets costing more than $5,000 with a life of 5 years or more are capitalized and depreciated over their useful lives. One-half year’s depreciation is taken in the year of acquisition and disposal of asset. Depreciation is computed on capital assets placed in service using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives as follows:
Sewer lines 50 years Treatment plants 25 years Land improvements 25 years Plans and studies 5-25 years Buildings 20 years

Plant and office equipment 5-10 years Automotive equipment 5 years
(k) Intangible Capital Assets
Intangible assets, including easements, water rights, patents and internally generated computer software, are reported in the financial statements. Intangible assets purchased are valued at historical cost or estimated historical cost if actual historical cost is not available. Contributed intangible assets are recorded at estimated fair market value at the time received.
Intangible capital assets with an individual cost of $5,000 and a useful life of more than five years are capitalized and amortized over their useful lives. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized. Additions or improvements and other capital outlays that significantly extend the useful life of an asset, or that significantly increase the capacity of an asset are capitalized. Normal maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.
Amortization on exhaustible intangible capital assets is reported on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset. One-half year’s amortization is taken in the year of acquisition and disposal of the asset. Gains or losses realized from disposal of intangible capital assets are reflected in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position.
(l) Investments in Joint Venture
Investments in joint venture with other governments are reported at cost plus or minus the District’s share of operating income or loss (equity method).
(m) Premium and Discount on Bonds Payable
Premiums and discounts are amortized by the effective interest method over the life of the respective debt instruments. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond premium or discount.
(n) Post-employment Benefits Other than Pensions
The entity’s net Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) Obligation is recognized as a long-term liability in the government-wide financial statements and in the proprietary fund statements, the amount of which is actuarially determined.
The District offers health benefits to retirees under age 65 as well as their qualified dependents, as required by state law. The District’s subsidized retiree health benefits are not pre-funded and are reported on a pay-as-you-go basis.
(o) Contributions Other Than Capital Assets
Contributions which represent non-exchange transactions are comprised of the following:
Customers – Sewer line and storm and surface water management connection fees from sewer patrons and sewer pipe installation fees from developers.
Capital Grants – Funds received from federal and state agencies restricted for acquisition and construction of sewage facilities.
CLEAN WATER SERVICES (A Component Unit of Washington County, Oregon)

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Contributions from Local Governments – Funds received from cities and Washington County for shared construction costs of collection systems owned and maintained by the District, and for other projects with regional benefit undertaken by the District.
(p) Insurance
The District is insured under a guaranteed cost plan for workers' compensation and for costs in excess of insurance policy retention (deductible) limits on fire loss, property damage, and all risk coverage (theft, vandalism, etc.). The District currently provides for estimated losses from pending claims on all self-insured retention risks which are reported as a current expense and liability.
Incurred but not reported (IBNR) claims for general and employment liability are claims that are incurred through the end of the fiscal year but not reported until after that date and are reported as noncurrent liabilities.
(q) Accrued Compensated Absences
The District allows employees to accumulate earned but unused vacation and sick leave benefits and compensatory time balances. Unused sick pay is not recognized as a liability because it does not vest. Accumulated compensation for overtime and vacation pay accrued at the end of each year is used within one year and is reported as a current expense and liability.
(r) Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the Statement of Net Position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred outflows of resources, represents a consumption of net position that applies to a future period and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until then.
In addition to liabilities, the Statement of Net Position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred inflows of resources, represents an acquisition of net position that applies to a future period and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until then.
Loss on Refunding. The item that qualifies in this category is the deferred loss on refunding reported in the Statement of Net Position. Deferred charges, resulting from the carrying value of refunded debt and its reacquisition price, are deferred and amortized over the shorter of the life of the refunded debt or refunding debt.
Pensions. For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the Oregon Public Employees Retirement System (OPERS) and additions to/deductions from OPERS’s fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by OPERS. For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value.

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
(s) Net Position
Net position comprises various net earnings from operating and nonoperating revenues, expenses and contributions of capital. Net position is classified in the following three components: net investment in capital assets; restricted net position; and unrestricted net position.
Net investment in capital assets consists of all capital assets less accumulated depreciation, and debt less unspent debt proceeds that is attributable to the acquisition, construction and improvement of those assets.
Restricted net position consists of net assets for which constraints are placed thereon by external parties, such as lenders, grantors, contributors, laws, regulations and enabling legislation.
Unrestricted net position consists of all other net assets not included in the above categories.
The District has not established a formal policy regarding the use of its restricted and unrestricted fund balance amounts.
(t) Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities on the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
(u) Adoption of new GASB pronouncements
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, the District implemented the following GASB pronouncements:
GASB Statement No. 72, Fair Value Measurement and Application
This Statement establishes accounting and financial reporting standards for fair value measurements, the level of fair value hierarchy, and valuation techniques. The definition of fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. This Statement provides guidance for determining a fair value measurement for financial reporting purposes, applying fair value to certain investments, and disclosures related to all fair value measurements. This statement is effective for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016.
GASB Statement No. 76, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles for State and Local Governments
This Statement reduces the GAAP hierarchy to two categories of authoritative GAAP and addresses the use of authoritative and non-authoritative literature in the event that the accounting treatment for a transaction or other event is not specified within a source of authoritative GAAP. This Statement supersedes Statement No. 55, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles for State and Local Governments. The requirements of this Statement are effective for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016.
(2) Stewardship, Compliance, and Accountability
Oregon Local Budget Law requires the District to prepare and adopt a budget by individual funds prior to July 1 of the budget year. The resolution authorizing appropriations, adopted in the categories of operating expenses, debt service, capital outlay, contingency and operating transfers for each fund sets the level by which expenditures cannot legally exceed appropriations. Appropriations lapse at the end of the fiscal year. The District’s budget is prepared on the modified accrual basis of accounting.
Unexpected additional resources may be added to the original budget through the use of a supplemental budget and appropriation resolution. A supplemental budget, greater than 10% of the fund’s original budget, requires hearings before the public, publications in newspapers and approval by the Board of Directors. Original and supplemental budgets may be modified by the use of appropriation transfers between the levels of control. Such transfers require approval by the Board of Directors. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, the Board approved one supplemental budget and one appropriation transfer.

(3) Cash and Investments
Washington County, Oregon maintains a common cash and investment pool for all County funds including those of the District, except the Captive. The types of investments in which the County and District may invest are restricted by State of Oregon Statutes and a Board adopted investment policy. Authorized investments include general obligations of the United States Government and its agencies, certain bonded obligations of Oregon municipalities, banker’s acceptances, certain high-grade commercial paper, repurchase agreements, and the State of Oregon Treasurer's Local Government Investment Pool (LGIP), among others. The District also maintains restricted cash in reserves with the Tualatin Valley Water District as a fiscal agent for the District. The Captive cash is held in bank demand deposits with the Bank of Hawaii.
Cash and investments for the District at June 30, 2016 are as follows:
Petty cash $ 3,850 Cash with fiscal agent 185,147 Bank of Hawaii – Captive Insurance/CWIC 336,005 Investments 264,811,826

(a) Investment in the Oregon State Treasurer’s Local Government Investment Pool
Investments in the Local Government Investment Pool (LGIP) are included in the Oregon Short-Term Fund, which is an external investment pool, and is not registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as an investment company. Investments in the Short-Term Fund are governed by ORS 294.135, Oregon Investment Council, and portfolio guidelines issued by the Oregon Short-Term Fund Board. Investment in the LGIP is neither insured nor guaranteed by the FDIC or any other government agency. The State Treasurer is the investment officer for the LGIP and is responsible for all funds in the LGIP. These funds must be invested and the investments managed, as a prudent investor would, exercising reasonable care, skill and caution. Investments in the LGIP are stated at fair market value. Separate financial statements for the Oregon Short Term Fund are available from the Oregon Audits Division, 255 Capital Street NE, Suite 500, Salem, OR 97301.

(b) Cash and investments include pooled cash and investments held by Washington County, Oregon, on behalf of the District
Disclosures relating to Custodial Credit Risk: This is the risk that in the event of bank failure, the District deposits may not be returned to them. As required by Oregon Revised Statues, deposits in excess of federal depository insurance were held at a qualified depository for public funds. All qualified depositories for public funds are included in the multiple financial institution collateral pool that is maintained by and in the name of the Office of the State Treasurer. As a result, the District’s remaining deposits in excess of Federal Depository Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance are considered to be fully collateralized.
Deposits with Bank of Hawaii for the Captive are comprised of bank demand deposits. The combined total bank balance is $336,500. Of these deposits, $250,000 is covered by federal depository insurance.
Disclosures relating to Interest Rate Risk: Interest rate risk is the risk that would adversely affect the fair value of an investment should market interest rates change. Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment, the greater the sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market interest rates. District management believes the liquidity in the portfolio is sufficient to meet cash flow requirements and preclude the District from having to sell investments below original cost for that purpose. The District relies upon their treasurer, Washington County, to monitor the interest rate risk inherent in its portfolio by comparing the maturity dates of its investments to the minimum maturity dates outlined in the investment policy.

Disclosures relating to Credit Risk: This is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to the holder of the investment. Credit risk is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally recognized rating organization and is minimized by purchasing only those securities, which are rated by three of the nationally recognized credit rating agencies, at the time of purchase. The District’s investment policy specifies ratings – Standard & Poor’s = minimum AA-, and Moody’s Investors Services = minimum Aa3.
The District categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by generally accepted accounting principles. The hierarchy is based on the valuation inputs used to measure the invested value of the asset. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets; Level 2 inputs are significant other observable inputs: Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs. The District has the following recurring fair value measurements as of June 30, 2016:
Federal agency coupon securities are valued using quoted market prices (Level 1 inputs)
Corporate notes are valued using quoted market prices (Level 1 inputs)
Treasury coupon securities are valued using quoted market prices (Level 1 inputs) For more detailed information, reference should be made to the Washington County Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for June 30, 2016.

(6) Joint Venture
The Barney Reservoir Joint Ownership Commission (the Commission) was formed to own, operate, and expand the J.W. Barney Reservoir. Ownership of the joint venture is comprised of the District (10%), Tualatin Valley Water District (35%), and the cities of Hillsboro (31%), Forest Grove (2.5%), and Beaverton (21.5%). The Commission is governed by one member from each entity. The operating costs of the joint venture are shared by the participating agencies and are reported as an operating expense in the District’s Sanitary Sewer Fund. The net position of the Commission continues to decline due to depreciation expense, which is not funded by the joint venture partners. There are no significant projects identified in the 10 year capital plan for the Commission. If future projects are identified by the Commission, the District will include its proportionate share of costs in the annual Capital Improvement Plan. The District’s year-end equity investment in the Commission was $2,490,836.
Financial statements for the Commission may be obtained from the City of Hillsboro, Finance Department at 150 East Main Street, Hillsboro, Oregon, 97123.
(7) Bonds Payable
The District has issued revenue bonds in accordance with ORS 451.545. The District’s revenue bonds are payable exclusively from the District’s net sewer revenue as defined in the bond indenture agreements. The District’s tax-exempt debt remains in compliance with all Internal Revenue Service arbitrage regulations.
Legal Debt Margin The District’s legal debt limitation, as defined by Oregon Revised Statutes 451.545, shall not exceed 13 percent of the true cash value of all property assessed within the District’s boundaries. The limitation applies to the aggregate of all outstanding General Obligation Bonds. The legal debt limit and debt margin for the District are both $10.787 billion at June 30, 2016, because the District had no outstanding general obligation debt.

Sewer revenue bond indenture agreements require the District to maintain net operating revenues, as defined in the indenture agreements, in each fiscal year at least equal to 1.2 times annual debt service on the Senior Lien Bonds and 1.1 times annual debt service on the Subordinate Lien Bonds and to maintain adequate insurance on the facilities. Additionally the bond indenture agreements establish that bonds are secured by a pledge from the District to maintain separate Senior Lien and Subordinate Lien reserve accounts in an amount equal to annual debt service for each class of bonds. The District has fulfilled the reserve requirements by obtaining surety bonds as allowed by the bond indenture agreements for the Series 2004 issues and funded reserves with debt proceeds for the Series 2009A issued in fiscal year 2009, the Series 2010A and 2010B issued in fiscal year 2010, and the Series 2011B issued in fiscal year 2011, of $5.3 million, $0.6 million, $5.8 million, and $1.8 million, respectively.
Future pledged revenues for outstanding revenues bonds are as follows:
Build America Bonds The District issued $99,155,000 in Senior Lien Sewer Revenue Bonds in fiscal year 2010 including $8,895,000 in tax exempt Series 2010A and $90,260,000 in federally taxable Series 2010B. The Series 2010B Bonds are issued as “Build America Bonds” (BABs) and are eligible under current federal law for a 35% interest subsidy. The District is not able to reduce the annual debt service or maximum annual debt service by the amount of the interest subsidies received for purposes of determining compliance with the District’s rate covenant and the tests for issuing additional Senior Lien Parity Obligations.
The federal interest subsidy was reduced by 6.8% for the October 1, 2015 and April 1, 2016 bond interest payments, respectively, which reduced the subsidy by approximately $114,045. The total reduction in subsidy payments to-date has been $368,970. This was in response to the requirements of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985. The District will receive Federal subsidy payments totaling approximately $19.6 million over the remaining life of the issue. This subsidy may be reduced in the future based on federal balanced budget constraints.

Pension related debt The revenue pension bond agreement issued in May 2004 requires debt service to be paid from gross sewer revenues. Accordingly, debt service for these bonds will be treated as operating expenses in determining debt service coverage in future periods.
Prior year defeased debt In prior years, the District defeased certain bonds by placing the proceeds of refunding bonds in an irrevocable trust to provide for all future debt service on the defeased bonds. Accordingly, the trust account assets and the related liability for those defeased bonds are not included in the District's financial statements. As of June 30, 2016, $26,830,000 of defeased bonds remain outstanding.
(8) Deferred compensation plan
During 1977 the District adopted, and has made subsequent amendments to, the Clean Water Services Deferred Compensation Plan. This plan is created in accordance with IRS code section 457(b), and was most recently amended and restated effective June 26, 2012. The General Manager, and the Risk and Benefits Manager of the District are the Trustee and Administrators of the plan. Plan contributions and assets are set aside in trust, with the custodial trustee and administrator, Empower Retirement (formerly Great West Life), for the exclusive benefit of participants and beneficiaries.
The plan generally covers any full-time employee working 37.5 or more hours per week, and any regular part-time employee working fewer than 40 hours per week. The plan permits participating employees to contribute up to 100% of gross pay or the statutorily prescribed annual dollar limit whichever is smaller. The District may, at its discretion, make employer contributions. The District’s plan as currently adopted does not provide for employer contributions. Plan contributions and earnings thereon are available to participating employees upon termination of employment, retirement, death, or unforeseen emergency.
Contributions from plan members during fiscal year 2016 were $1,402,646.

(9) Pension Plan
Plan Description
Substantially all District employees are members in the Oregon Public Employees Retirement System (OPERS); a
cost-sharing, multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan that acts as a common investment and
administrative agent for government units in the State of Oregon. Employees hired before August 29, 2003
belong to the Tier One/Tier Two Retirement Benefit Program (established pursuant to ORS Chapter 238), while
employees hired on or after August 29, 2003 belong to the OPSRP Pension Program (established pursuant to
ORS Chapter 238A). OPERS produces an independently audited CAFR which can be found at:
http://www.oregon.gov/pers/Pages/section/financial_reports/financials.aspx.
Benefits Provided
Tier One/Tier Two Retirement Benefit
Pension Benefits. The PERS retirement allowance is payable monthly for life. It may be selected from 13
retirement benefit options. These options include survivorship benefits and lump-sum refunds. The basic
benefit is based on years of service and final average salary. A percentage (2.0% for police and fire employees,
1.67% for general service employees) is multiplied by the number of years of service and the final average
salary. Benefits may also be calculated under either a formula plus annuity (for members who were contributing
before August 21, 1981) or a money match computation if a greater benefit results.
A member is considered vested and will be eligible at a minimum retirement age for a service retirement
allowance if he or she has had contribution in each of five calendar years or has reached at least 50 years of age
before ceasing employment with a participating employer (age 45 for police and fire members). General service
employees may retire after reaching age 55. Police and fire members are eligible after reaching age 50. Tier
One general service employee benefits are reduced if retirement occurs prior to age 58 with fewer than 30 years
of service. Police and fire member benefits are reduced if retirement occurs prior to age 55 with fewer than 25
years of service. Tier Two members are eligible for full benefits at age 60. The ORS Chapter 238 Defined Benefit
Pension Plan is closed to new members hired on or after August 29, 2003.
Death Benefits. Upon the death of a non-retired member, the beneficiary receives a lump-sum refund of the
member’s account balance (accumulated contributions and interest). In addition, the beneficiary will receive a
lump-sum payment from employer funds equal to the account balance, provided one or more of the following
conditions are met:
the member was employed by a PERS employer at the time of death,
the member died within 120 days after termination of PERS-covered employment,
the member died as a result of injury sustained while employed in a PERS-covered job, or
the member was on an official leave of absence from a PERS-covered job at the time of death.
Disability Benefits. A member with 10 or more years of creditable service who becomes disabled from other
than duty-connected causes may receive a non-duty disability benefit. A disability resulting from a job-incurred
injury or illness qualifies a member for disability benefit regardless of the length of PERS-covered service. Upon
qualifying for either a non-duty or duty disability, service time is computed to age 58 (55 for police and fire
members) when determining the monthly benefit.

(9) Pension Plan (Continued)
Benefit Changes After Retirement. Members may choose to continue participation in a variable equities
investment account after retiring and may experience annual benefit fluctuations due to changes in the market
value of equity investments. Under ORS 238.360 monthly benefits are adjusted annually through cost-of-living
changes. The COLA for fiscal year 2015 was capped at 1.5% for all benefits recipients. As a result of the Moro
Decision, the cap on the COLA will be restored to 2.0% for fiscal year 2016 and beyond.
OPSRP Pension Program
Pension Benefits. The Pension Program (ORS Chapter 238A) provides benefits to members hired on or after
August 29, 2003. This portion of OPSRP provides a life pension funded by employer contributions. Benefits are
calculated by formula for members who attain normal retirement age. For general service members, 1.5% is
multiplied by the number of years of service and the final average salary. Normal retirement age for general
service members is age 65, or age 58 with 30 years of retirement credit. For police and fire members, 1.8% is
multiplied by the number of years of service and the final average salary. Normal retirement age for police and
fire members is age 60 or age 53 with 25 years of retirement credit. To be classified as a police and fire
member, the individual must have been employed continuously as a police and fire member for at least five
years immediately preceding retirement.
A member of the OPSRP Pension Program becomes vested on the earliest of the following dates: the date the
member completes 600 hours of service in each of five calendar years, the date the member reaches normal
retirement age, and if the pension program is terminated, the date on which termination becomes effective.
Death Benefits. Upon the death of a non-retired member, the spouse or other person who is constitutionally
required to be treated in the same manner as the spouse, receives for life 50 percent of the pension that would
otherwise have been paid to the deceased member.
Disability Benefits. A member who has accrued 10 or more years of retirement credits before the member
becomes disabled or a member who becomes disabled due to job-related injury shall receive a disability benefit
of 45 percent of the member’s salary determined as of the last full month of employment before the disability
occurred.
Benefit Changes After Retirement. Under ORS 238A.210 monthly benefits are adjusted annually through cost-of-
living changes. The COLA for fiscal year 2015 was capped at 1.5% for all benefits recipients. As a result of the
Moro Decision, the cap on the COLA will be restored to 2.0% for fiscal year 2016 and beyond.
Contributions
PERS funding policy provides for monthly employer contributions at actuarially determined rates. These
contributions, expressed as a percentage of covered payroll, are intended to accumulate sufficient assets to pay
benefits when due. Employer contribution rates for the period were based on the December 31, 2013 actuarial
valuation. The rates based on a percentage of payroll, first became effective July 1, 2015. The District’s
contribution rates for the period were 12.29% for Tier One/Tier Two member and 5.96% for OPSRP General
Service members. The District’s total contributions were $2,372,887. Covered employees are required to
contribute 6% of their annual covered salary to the Plan.

(9) Pension Plan (Continued)
Pension Assets, Liabilities, Pension Expense, Deferred Outflows of Resources and Deferred Inflows of Resources Related to Pensions
At June 30, 2016, the District reported a liability of $15,003,706 for its proportionate share of the OPERS net
pension liability. The net pension liability was measured as of June 30, 2015, and the total pension liability used
to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of December 31, 2013 rolled
forward to June 30, 2015. The District’s proportion of the net pension liability was based on a projection of the
District’s long-term share of contributions to the pension plan relative to the projected contributions of all
participating employers, actuarially determined. At June 30, 2015, the District’s proportion was 0.261322%,
which increased by .004742% from its proportion measured as of June 30, 2014.
The Oregon Supreme Court (Court) ruled on April 30, 2015 that certain provisions of Senate Bill (SB) 861, signed
into law in October 2013, were unconstitutional. The Moro decision modified the COLA-related changes of
Senate Bills 822 and 861, creating a blended COLA for members who earned service both before and after the
effective dates of the legislation. As a result, those who retired before the bills were passed will continue to
receive a COLA tied to the Consumer Price Index that normally results in a 2% increase annually. OPERS
members who have accrued benefits before and after the effective dates of the 2013 legislation will have a
blended COLA rate when they retire. This is a change in benefit terms legally in effect before the measurement
date, and is required to be reflected in the June 30, 2015 Total Pension Liability. The COLA change due to Moro
resulted in a collective pension expense of $5.3 billion (or $14.0 million for the District’s proportionate share).
For the year ended June 30, 2016, the District recognized pension expense of $14,587,107. At June 30, 2016,
the District reported deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions from

(9) Pension Plan (Continued)
Actuarial valuations of an ongoing plan involve estimates of the value of projected benefits and assumptions
about the probability of events far into the future. Actuarially determined amounts are subject to continual
revision as actual results are compared to past expectations and new estimates are made about the future.
Experience studies are performed as of December 31 of even numbered years. The methods and assumptions
shown above are based on the 2014 Experience Study which reviewed experience for the four-year period
ending on December 31, 2014.
Long-Term Expected Rate of Return
To develop an analytical basis for the selection of the long-term expected rate of return assumption, in July 2013
the PERS Board reviewed long-term assumptions developed by both Milliman’s capital market assumptions
team and the Oregon Investment Council’s (OIC) investment advisors. The table below shows Milliman’s
assumptions for each of the asset classes in which the plan was invested at that time based on the OIC long-
term target asset allocation. The OIC’s description of each asset class was used to map the target allocation to
the asset classes shown below. Each asset class assumption was based on a consistent set of underlying
assumptions, and includes adjustment for the inflation assumption. These assumptions are not based on
historical returns, but instead are based on a forward-looking capital market economic model.

Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.75% for the Defined Benefit Pension Plan.
The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions from plan
members and those contributing employers are made at the contractually required rates, as actuarially
determined. Based on those assumptions, the Pension Plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be
available to make all projected future benefit payments of current Plan members. Therefore, the long-term
expected rate of return on Pension Plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to
determine the total pension liability.
Sensitivity of the District’s proportionate share of the net pension liability to changes in the discount rate
The following presents the District’s proportionate share of the net pension liability (asset) calculated using the
discount rate of 7.75%, as well as what the District’s proportionate share of the net pension liability (asset)

(10) Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB)
(a) Post-Employment Healthcare Plan
Plan Description The District offers health benefits to retirees under age 65 as well as their qualified dependents at the same rate provided to current employees, as required by Oregon Revised Statutes 243.303. Retirees electing to remain on the District sponsored health plans pay the entire premium for that coverage in order to maintain coverage. Even though the District does not pay any portion of the retiree premium, there is an implicit rate subsidy with respect to retired employees because the medical premium rates charged are less than they would be if the retirees were in a separately rated health plan. Actual medical premium rates are determined by blending both active employee and retiree experience. This “plan” is a single-employer plan and is not a stand-alone plan, and therefore, does not issue its own financial statements. No formal/legal trust has been established for the handling of resources used to fund this benefit.
The number of plan participants are as follows:
Active participants 142
Retired employees 19
Total participants 161
Funding Policy The District collects insurance premiums from all retirees each month. The District then pays the health insurance premiums for all retirees at the blended rate for each family classification. The required contributions to the plan include the entity’s pay-as-you-go amount, an amount paid by retirees and an additional amount calculated to pre-fund future benefits as determined by the actuary.
For fiscal year 2016, the District contributed $103,377 consisting of retiree payments. The District has elected to not pre-fund the actuarially determined future cost amount of $562,565.
The required monthly contributions of the plan members were as follows for the year ended June 30, 2016:

(10) Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) (Continued)
Annual OPEB Cost and Net OPEB Obligation The District’s annual other post-employment benefit (OPEB) cost is calculated based on the annual required contribution (ARC) of the District, an amount actuarially determined in accordance with the parameters of GASB Statement No. 45. The ARC represents a level of funding that, if paid on an ongoing basis, is projected to cover normal cost each year and amortize any unfunded actuarial liabilities over a thirty year period.
The annual OPEB cost and net OPEB obligation at June 30, 2016 was as follows:

Funding status and Funding Progress As of July 1, 2015, the most recent actuarial valuation date, the plan was funded on a pay-as-you-go basis, and therefore, had no assets. The actuarial accrued liability for benefits was $1,406,532 and also equaled the unfunded actuarial accrued liability (UAAL). The annual payroll of active employees covered by the plan (covered payroll) was $25,650,242 and the ratio of the UAAL to the covered payroll was 5.5%.
Actuarial valuations of the ongoing plan involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and assumptions about the probability of occurrence of events far into the future. Examples include assumptions about future employment, mortality, and the healthcare cost trend. Amounts determined regarding the funded status of the plan and the annual required contributions of the employer are subject to continual revisions as actual results are compared with past expectations and new estimates are made about the future.

(10) Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) (Continued)
Actuarial Methods and Assumptions Projections of benefits for financial reporting purposes are based on the substantive plan (the plan as understood by the employer and plan members) and include the types of benefits provided at the time of each valuation and the historical pattern of sharing of benefit costs between the employer and plan members to that point. The actuarial methods and assumptions used include techniques that are designed to reduce the effects of short-term volatility in actuarial results consistent with the long-term perspective of the calculations.
In the July 1, 2015 valuation, the projected unit credit actuarial cost method was used, with accrued benefits allocated in equal proportion over the participant’s years of service from hire to expected retirement. The actuarial assumptions included (a) a 4 percent accrued liability discount rate, (b) a 2.5 percent inflation component, and (c) healthcare cost trend rate of 7 percent for 2016 grading down over seventeen years to 5 percent. The Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability (UAAL) is being amortized over an open period of thirty years as a level percentage of payroll for Non-Represented Retirees, and over a closed period of four years as a flat dollar amount for Represented Retirees.

(b) Retirement Health Insurance Account (RHIA)
Plan Description As a member of Oregon Public Employees Retirement System (OPERS), the District contributes to the Retirement Health Insurance Account (RHIA) for each of its eligible employees. RHIA is a cost-sharing, multiple-employer defined benefit other post-employment benefit plan administered by OPERS. RHIA pays a monthly contribution toward the cost of Medicare companion health insurance premiums of eligible retirees. Oregon Revised Statute (ORS) 238.420 established this trust fund. Authority to establish and amend the benefit provisions of RHIA reside with the Oregon Legislature. The plan is closed to new entrants after January 1, 2004. OPERS issues a publicly available financial report that includes financial statements and required supplementary information. That report may be obtained by writing to the Oregon Public Employees Retirement System, P.O. Box 23700, Tigard, OR 97281-3700, by calling 1-888-320-7377, or by accessing the PERS web site at http://oregon.gov/PERS/.

(10) Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) (Continued)
Funding Policy Because RHIA was created by enabling legislation (ORS 238.420), contribution requirements of the plan members and the participating employers were established and may be amended only by the Oregon Legislature. ORS require that an amount equal to $60 or the total monthly cost of Medicare companion health insurance premiums coverage, whichever is less, shall be paid from the RHIA established by the employer, and any monthly cost in excess of $60 shall be paid by the eligible retired member in the manner provided in ORS 238.410. To be eligible to receive this monthly payment towards the premium cost the member must: (1) have eight years or more of qualifying service in PERS at the time of retirement or receive a disability allowance as if the member had eight years or more of creditable service in PERS, (2) receive both Medicare Part A and B coverage, and (3) enroll in a PERS-sponsored health plan. A surviving spouse or dependent of a deceased PERS retiree who was eligible to receive the subsidy is eligible to receive the subsidy if he or she (1) is receiving a retirement benefit or allowance from PERS or (2) was insured at the time the member died and the member retired before May 1, 1991.
Participating employers are contractually required to contribute to RHIA at a rate assessed each year by OPERS, currently 0.53% of annual covered payroll for Tier One and Tier Two members and 0.45% of annual covered payroll for OPSRP members. The OPERS Board of Trustees sets the employer contribution rate based on the annual required contribution of the employers (ARC), an amount actuarially determined in accordance with the parameters of GASB Statement No. 45. The ARC represents a level of funding that, if paid on an ongoing basis, is projected to cover normal cost each year and amortize any unfunded actuarial liabilities (or funding excess) of the plan over a closed period not to exceed thirty years. The District’s contributions to RHIA for the years ended June 30, 2016, 2015, and 2014 were $122,000, $126,000, and $143,000 which equaled the required contributions each year.
(11) Risk Management/Insured Risks and Captive Insurance
It is the policy of the District to periodically assess the proper combination of commercial insurance and retention of risk to cover losses to which it may be exposed. The District currently utilizes two government entity self-insured risk pools through Special Districts Association of Oregon (SDAO) for its workers’ compensation and liability insurance. The District purchases a commercial insurance policy for all-risk property coverage. A self-insurance reserve is maintained to pay the retained amount (deductible) of any insured loss and payments for those losses that are either uninsured or uninsurable. The District maintains retention levels of $50,000 per occurrence on its liability insurance coverage and $1,000,000 per occurrence on its property coverage. The District has earmarked approximately $5.6 million of its unrestricted net assets for future uninsured risks at June 30, 2016.
The District’s liabilities are reported when it is both probable that a loss has occurred and the amount of that loss can be reasonably estimated. Liabilities include an amount for claims that have been incurred but not reported. Liabilities are reevaluated periodically to consider current settlements, frequency of claims, past experience and economic factors. During the past three fiscal years, there were no settlements which exceeded insurance coverage.

The Captive received its Certificate of Authority from the Hawaii Insurance Division on June 30, 2016, and operations will commence on July 1, 2016. The Certificate of Authority enables the Captive to operate as a captive insurance company in the State of Hawaii. The District is the sole member of the Captive. Insurance exposures covered by the Captive will include the non-represented employee self-insurance dental plan, general liability self-insured retention of $50,000, automobile liability self-insured retention of $50,000, property damage self-insured retention of $5 million, and uninsured risk within these categories.

(13) Related Party Transactions
Washington County performs certain fiscal and accounting services, partnering in capital projects and provides certain facility related services, for which the District was charged approximately $299,100 during fiscal 2016.
On April 16, 2013, the District entered into a new Operating Agreement with the Clean Water Institute (CWI). Under the Operating Agreement, the District may provide resources to conduct work for CWI. Upon mutual agreement, the District and CWI may enter into agreements which shall describe the particular scope of services to be performed by the District for CWI. The District may also provide staff and resources to provide administrative support to CWI and charge CWI for such support. The District has billed CWI $7,500 for such services under the Operating Agreement for fiscal year ended June 30, 2016.
On October 26, 2010, the District entered into a loan agreement with CWI. The agreement allows for loans and/or advances from the District to CWI of up to $400,000 over the following four fiscal years. Interest on outstanding loan balances due from CWI to the District are calculated monthly and based on 1.1 times the average monthly Oregon Local Government Investment Pool (LGIP) rates. As of June 30, 2016 the loan balance with CWI was $205,387. During fiscal year 2016, CWI was charged $1,498 in interest and made payments totaling $13,803 leaving a loan balance of $205,387 as of June 30, 2016.
On September 21, 2010, the District entered into an Assignment Agreement with CWI, which assigned certain intellectual property rights to CWI. The agreement requires CWI to share future revenues generated from the licensing of these intellectual property rights with the District. Per this agreement, all revenues associated with the agreement received by CWI shall first be applied to repay the loan amounts to the District and any revenues in excess of the loan amount will be shared equally between CWI and the District. In accordance with the agreement, CWI has remitted proceeds of $13,803 to the District in fiscal year 2016 which were applied against the loan balance referenced above.
Clean Water Institute billed the District $20,000 for professional services during fiscal year 2016.
To legally form the Clean Water Insurance Company, in June 2016, the District transferred $336,000 from self-insured dental plan reserves to fund the required reserves and cover operating costs starting July 2016.

MGD – Million Gallons Per Day1 The design capacity statistics report system flows that are treated in the plants and reflect permit requirements based on the time of the year.The District operates under separate permits for the dry weather and wet weather seasons. The dry weather season has more restrictive permit
requirements and requires higher quality treatment of flows. This results in lower system capacity in dry weather months as compared to wet weathercapacity. The Forest Grove and Hillsboro treatment plants are closed and non‐permitted during the dry weather season and flows are diverted toRock Creek.
2 The peak design flow reflects maximum hydraulic flow through the plants. These flows may not be fully treated.
