Operating rate revenue— what customers pay for current service (O&M, interest & penalties, special assessments). When this line meets the top of the stack, rates fully cover operations. Total operating revenue— rates plus non-rate sources (state aid for O&M, interfund transfers, interest income). Bond principal & the matching Capital Charge revenue are excluded since they cancel by design.

On AFR years the category breakdown is limited — AFRs report enterprise-fund spending as rollup totals per major function (e.g. one Sanitary Sewers Contractual line covering operator contract, repairs, electricity, and supplies combined). The chart cannot split these after the fact; budget years use finer sub-codes and show more category detail.

Forecast accuracy — how close were budgets to actual?

For closed years (where AFR is available), this compares what was originally adopted to what was authorized after amendments to what was actually spent. Positive variance means the year closed above budget; negative means under.

About this fund
Fund SW is the Town Water Enterprise. Rate-funded — paid by water customers via metered water sales, not by the property-tax levy. Small in scale relative to Town operating funds.

See also the activity-based-cost methodology — same data, organized by service activity instead of OSC chart-of-accounts category.

Sources: OSC Annual Financial Reports (actuals, modified-accrual basis); Town Budget PDFs mirrored from the CivicPlus DocumentCenter (adopted / preliminary). The Town files its fiscal year on a calendar-year basis, so FY24/24 corresponds to budget calendar year 2024.
