A new $2 million Klorigen Unit is now in operation at the Algiers Water Treatment Plant, n ie unit produces chlorine disinfectant on demand for the water treatment process by using food-grade salt and electricity. The driving force for using this system is risk reduction by eliminating the need to store tons of liquid chlorine on-site which could release to the atmosphere.

The Sewerage & Water Board went into full emergency mode when a tugboat rammed a tanker causing it to discharge 165,000 gallons of oil into the Mississippi River near the Board's two water intakes for the Algiers Water Treatment Plant. Quick reaction, ingenuity, expertise and knowledge of the plant by Board employees contained the oil in the plant and kept it from entering the distribution system. The plant operated on its reserve supply while emergency procedures were completed. The public was kept informed through the news media.

GAAP require that management provide a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis to accompany the basic financial statements in the fonri of Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A). This letter of transmittal is designed to complement MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it. The Sewerage and Water Board's MD&A can be found immediately following the report of the mdependent auditors.

Sewerage and Water Board of New Orleans is a polirical subdivision created in 1899 by Louisiana State Statutes. The Board is charged with construction, operation, and mamtenance of Water, Sewerage and Drainage Systems for the City of New Orleans. By agreement, approximately 2,550 acres of adjourning Jefferson Parish is served by the Board's drainage facilities for which Jefferson Parish pays its pro rata shave of expenses. In addition, the Board provides sewerage services to Jefferson Parish businesses the majority of which arc restaurants located in the West End neighborhood near the Lakefront. Additionally, the Board provides water and sewerage services to die Plaquemines Parish Industrial Park. The Sewerage and Water Board was established as a "special board" operating independently of city govemnient. The Mayor of New Orleans serves as the President ofthe Board of Directors which is composed of three (3) representatives of the City Council, two (2) representatives ofthe Board of Liquidation, City Debt and seven (7) appointees as designated by the State statutes.

ECONOMIC CONDITION AND OUTLOOK

According to die March 2009 Metropolitan Report: Economic Indicators for the New Orleans Area prepared by the Division of Business and Economic Research, University of New Orleans, in 2008, New Orleans was still in recovery mode from Katrina lows which kept it moving up while the U.S. lost ground as a whole. 12,600 jobs (2 5%) were added to the New Orleans mctropoiitan area when comparing the aimual averages of 2008 and 2007.

Energy prices were extiemely volatile in 2008. They reached record highs in the suimner and then plunged in the autumn.

According to the report, wages in tlie New Orleans region are still up after their Katrina jump. In the fust half of 2008, wages grew 3.2%. They are up 26% over pre-Katrina levels.

Specifically, erosion in gains are starting lo show up. Durable Goods Manufacmring jobs were down 1% by the end ofthe year. However this is still much belter tlian the O.S. where in the same period, the same sector was down close to 6%. Retail sales jobs were down 3.1% locally and this is similar to the U.S trend during that time. During that same time frame, accommodation and construction held onto gains while their national counterparts showed heavy losses.

However, as the nation entered the recession in late 2007, liigh oil prices and the post-Katrina recovery left Ihe New Orleans area positioned on a belter base. Plus Katrina removed housing stock, labor force, jobs, and companies. If there had been any excess in any of those things in the New Orleans area, they were involuntarily removed. The higher wages due to the light labor market and insurance and Road Home payments combined to result in the New Orleans per capita income moving above the national average. This provides money flowing through the local economy and helps keep stores and restaurants going.

It can be seen that residential construction activity slowed in 2008. In 2007, non-residential construction activity dominated the local market, This category includes the construction of commercial buildings including refineries. However, in 2008, non-building construction - that is, infrastructure construction - roads, bridges and levees played an enomious part, according to the report.

Orleans had a very strong first half, with visitation at mid-year 2008 up by 14.2% over the first half of 2007. Visitation in the second half of the year is typical slow months of July, August and December, However, tourism activity slowed more dian usual in the second half of 2008. New Orleans visitation was roughly at 75% of its pre-Katrina levels.

According to tlie report, taxable sales in total have remained above pre-Katrina levels. Damaged parishes such as Orleans and St. Bemard continue to climb, while the recovery boom seen in sales in JefTerson and St. Tammany parish is moderating. When combining the metro areas, total taxable sales in 2008 beat those in 2007 by 2.7%. This is definitely counter the national trend. Employment in retail trade was up slightly (0.4%) for the year but erosion probably brought on by national trends of tightening by consumers showed an erosion of employment being down 3% by year end.

MAJOR INITIATIVES

Improvements completed over the previous year at the plant are as follows:

Water: The Carrollton plant

t> The anhydrous ammonia tank has been rehabilitated. o G4 sedimentation basin has been rehabilitated and is ready to be put back in service. o G3 sedimentation basin has been cleaned and is currently having rake and sludge line

components installed, o Design for a new disinfection storage and feed facility is almost complete which includes a

second chlorine and ammonia addition point for an emergency chlorine addition point, o Overhaul of sedimentation basin G3 is currently under way. A new flocculatlon drive

system is to be installed. Also, improvements to the mono-rake system will increase the efficiency of sludge removal from tlie sedimentation basin,

o Head loss pressure cells are to be added to the filters to monitor pressure loss through the filters. Currently, approximately 10 percent ofthe filters have been retrofitted with head loss pressure cells.

o A hydraulic leak between sedimentation basin L4 and chlorine contact basin C5 is to be investigated and rectified; however, this cannot be done until the other sedimentation basins are back in service. As a consequence of the leakage, chlorine contact basins C5/C6 are out of service,

o Improvements to flow measuring system, o A second sludge line to the river is currently in the design phase. This will add redundancy

and flexibility to the operations, o Repairs to the L4 flocculation equipment and mono-rake system.

The Algiers niant

o The facility has purchased a sodium hypochlorite generation system, which is currently being installed.

Water Pumping & Power:

o At present, total capacity ofthe plant is 41 MWs as Turbine 4 (20 MVvO is undergoing repairs but at a reduced capacity of 12 MW.

r-3

Page 11: SEWERAGE AND WATER BOARD OF NEW …i^ SEWERAGE AND WATER BOARD OF NEW ORLEANS New Orleans, Louisiana Comprehensive Annual Financial Report For The Year Ended December 31, 2008 Under

o A new Boiler No. 2 is currently being installed. Once turbine 4 and the new boiler are in service the plant will be at die original potential capacity of 61 MW.

o Other systems repaired since the hurricane include the condenser leaks, turbine No. 5 oil system, and the motor control center,

o Additional work at the power plant includes a new distribution pipe installation at the power plant.

o Currently the local power company is designing a new high-pressure natural gas line that will allow the power plant to eliminate the need for the gas compressors located at the power plant,

o Ofthe two steam driven distribution pumps located at the power plant, one is in the process of being reconditioned, and the final one is scheduled to be reconditioned,

o Raw water pumps at the New River Station have been retumed to service, o All intake and effluent pumping stations are currently operational, o Typically, the Claiborne pumping station and the hvo steam driven turbine pumps are

adequate for pumping, with the Panola Station serving as a backup. However, due to a pump out of service at the Claiborne station system, the Panola pumping station is currently in operation,

o The Corps of Engineers is considering a new 15 MW, 60-Hertz gas turbine generator to supplement the current power available from Entergy to serve the plant and the raw water intake stations.

o The Corps of Engineers is in the planning stages of adding a levee system around the Carrollton Plant, which would protect the power plant and other plant assets during a flood event.

Water Distribution System:

o The Board, with the aid of contractors, is currently conducting a block-by-block evaluation ofthe piping system to detect leaks.

o The Board is exploring engineering approaches to isolate sections of the distribution network for better leak detection and has planned an evaluation of a leak detection system over a small area. In fact, bids have been opened to install the new leak detection system.

o Over 23,000 leaks have been fixed between July of 2007 and May of 2008. o The Networks Department is also coordinating efforts with the local fire Department for

checking, operation, painting and lubricating tlie fire hydrants with the Board supplying the plan and grease to the contractor. All the hydrants in the City have been assigned an identification number and have been mapped, The program was started four years ago and requires the 16,500 fire hydrants in the database to be inspected every two yeai-s.

S£aj^rag£: The East Bank Wastewater Treatment Plant:

o All buildings have been repaired except a new control room is under construcdon and should be completed in six months. The administration building containing the laboratory was destroyed by floodwaters and demolished. The lab functions are being done off site and the staff is occupying trailers.

o Most equipment has been repaired and is operational. Final clarifier No. 4 is currenfly underrepah" and will be finished within six months. Cracks in die deck ofthe activated sludge tanks are in the process of repair, which will be reimbursed by FEMA.

o At present an RFP has been released lo purchase and install a oxygen production facility at the plant. Oxygen is currently trucked in at significant cost and the new oxygen plant will

1-4

Page 12: SEWERAGE AND WATER BOARD OF NEW …i^ SEWERAGE AND WATER BOARD OF NEW ORLEANS New Orleans, Louisiana Comprehensive Annual Financial Report For The Year Ended December 31, 2008 Under

reduce the cost of oxygen to the plant. The plant uses approximately 20 tons of oxygen a day.

o Two new belt filter presses with a gravity zone are to be added to the plant. Two existing beh presses will continue to be used,

o At present the influent TSS and BOD concentration are approximately 120 milligrams per liter (mg/L) and 90 mg/L, respectively. This is significantly lower than normal concentrations, which is probably the resuh of a significant increase in the amount of inflow inflltration in the collection system following the hurricane requiring ti*eatment at the plant. Effluent quality has been adequate over the year.

The West Bank Wastewater Treatment Plant:

0 New variable frequency drives have been installed for the effluent pumps. o A new solids treatment building and beh filter press is currently at 30%. level of design for

die plant. o A new sodium hypochlorite system including tanks and pumps is at 50% level of design. o A new chemical (BioCat) is used instead of hydrogen peroxide for odor control in the

collection system. A significant benefit has been realized in the effluent quality of the trickling filter plant since the new chemical does not adversely impact the biofolm in the trickling filler, although the chemical cost is approximately 20%i higher dian using hydrogen peroxide.

The Sewage Pumping and Lift Stations:

o Initially, the Board's rehabilitation ofthe pumps included checking and greasing bearings, cleaning motors with steam, and then baking them. This method was unsuccessful and resulted in many pump motor and bearing failures,

o As a result, the board changed the rehabilitation process to a three-step process that includes electrical repair, bearing repair, and flood proofmg of stations. About 40% ofthe electrical work has been completed,

o Bearing repair work has not been initialed at most stations. The final phase of flood proofing has not started to date,

o FEMA funding will pay for tlie repairs to the sewerage stations. In order to receive theses funds, the stations have to be repaired to pre-Katrina conditions. Most stations are located below ground and the rehabilitated stations will be vulnerable to flooding. The Board wishes to elevate most ofthe stations so tliat this does not occur again.

° The Board is currently in negotiations with FEMA to elevate the stations with Uie funds that will be provided by this agency. This would ensure continuous operations of all stations during flooding events. Some of the buildings also suffered structural damage. Repair work on buildings is almost complete,

o The Board has issued emergency bids for generators, portable pumps, automation and SCADA panels for the damaged stations, the costs of which will be reimbursed by FEMA.

o Maintenance personnel estimate about 5 years will be required to have all the pumping stations back online.

o The estimated cost for all sewage pumping stalion repairs is approximately $80 million, which is paid for by FEMA.

o It is important to note that FEMA will only be paying for damage that was due to Katrina. o As contractors are repairing mechanical equipment stations, more problems are being

uncovered that are potentially due to the Board's ability to maintain the stations before the stonn.

Sewer Collection Svstem:

o Phase 1 of Consultant Montgomery Watson Harza has inspected 50 percent of tlie sewer lines and has cleaned 15 percent ofthe collection system.

o A phase IT assessment will begin shortly to finish the inspections. o The Board has plans to clean and inspect 25 to 30 percent ofthe sewer lines with closed-

circuit television. o All the manholes have also been inspected. o The inspections completed to date have primarily focused on areas that were under water

after die hurricane. The West Bank and the Uptown areas have yet to be inspected, but die Board persormel consider the areas inspected to be a good representation of die remaining sections.

o The projected costs for repairs to the water distribution system are $10 to $20 million. o The Board has also made an estimated payment of $3 million for the 50 percent of tlie

sewer system inspected. o The estimated time frame for repairing the distribution network is 2 to 3 years. o The sewer system is expected to take approximately 5 years to get back to pre-Katrina

condition.

Drainage: Pump Stations: The Board also has responsibility for operating and maintaining the 24 drainage and 12 underpass pumping stations in New Orieans. TTie drainage stations suffered significant damage from the floodwaters. Most motors have been rewound and are in service within the dramage stations.

0 The CORPS is providing 100 percent funding, valued at $40 million, for electrical, mechanical and structural upgrades to the drainage stations. This does not include needed work at the underpass drainage stations,

o The CORPS is providing 100 percent funding, valued at $205 million, for storm proofing of drainage pump stations.

A five-year Capita! Program budget of $2,229,524,000 was approved by Sewerage and Water Board in December 2008. The approved amount for Drainage projects was $1,414,682,000 of tliat amount; $814,842,000 is participation by others.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION Management of the Sewerage and Water Board is responsible for designing and mamtaining an

interna] control structure sufficient to safeguard the Board's assets against loss, theft or misuse and to ensure the reliability of financial records for preparing financial statements in confonnity with generally accepted accounting principles. The internal control structure is designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute assurance that these goals are met The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that: (1) the cost of internal controls should not exceed the benefits expected to be derived and (2) the valuation of costs and benefits require the exercise of judgment by management.

Tlie Enterprise Fund's water and sewerage systems are fmanced by user fees. The unique characteristics ofthe services provided by the drainage System of New Orleans requires the use of Enterprise Fund accounting in order to obtain a meaningful measure of the cost of providing the services and capital maintenance. On March 21, 2007, the Board approved a series of five annual water rate increases beginning with the first increase on November 1, 2007 followed by four additional increases to be implemented on July I of each year, 2008 through 2011. The New Orleans City Council approved the annual water rate increases on October 4, 2007.

Revenues from the diree- (3) mill, six- (6) mill and nine- (9) mill ad valorem taxes, which are restricted exclusively for drainage services, finance the Drainage System. These ad valorem taxes are the operating revenues ofthe drainage system.

Budgetary Control: The Sewerage and Water Board maintains an internal budgetai'y control through the preparation and monitoring of an annual operating and capital budget for the Water, Sewerage, and Drainage funds. Monthly budget reports are provided to department level managers to assist them in their fiscal responsibilities,

General Operations: The change in net assets for the year ended December 31, 2008 was approximately a decrease of $50.1 million or 442.9% less than the change in net assets for tlie year ended December 31, 2007. The Board's total operating revenues decreased by 0.6% to approximately $109.0 million, and total operating expenses increased 7.0%i to approximately $171.2 million. Operating revenues decreased primarily as a result of a decline in volume due to decreases in the customer base following Hurricane Katrina offset by an increase in water rates. Property taxes increased by $3.0 million in 2008 due to an increase in assessed value offset by a decrease in the millage. Operating expenses increased primarily as a result of a pay increase and increases in energy costs. Pension Trust Fund Operations: The contributions to die Pension Trust Funds are based on actuarial valuations.

Debt Administration: The Board of Liquidation, City Debt has responsibility for the administration ofthe Board's debt. Drainage debt services payments are supported by ad valorem tax collections, while user fees are used to provide debt ser\'ices for the Water and Sewerage System bonds. Tlie Board's Sewerage and Water and Drainage bonds outstanding as of December 31, 2008 totaled $256,255,000.

Cash Management: Cash temporarily idle in the Enterprise Fund during the year was invested in commercial bank certificates of deposit, repurchase agreements, and U,S. Treasuj7 Bills. Effective, January 1998, investments were recorded at fair value. Investment income on these idle funds was $3,363,119.

RisK Management: The Sewerage and Water Board uses both insured and retained risk programs to manage exposures to loss. The Board administers self-insured programs for property and automobile liability exposures. Also, retained risk programs for general liability and workers' compensation losses and claims aie administered by die Board.

Other Information: State Statutes and covenants governing outstanding bond issues require an annual audit ofthe Board's financial records by independent certified public accountants.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

Members ofthe Board Sewerage and Water Board of New Orleans:

We have audited the basic financia] statements ofthe Sewerage and Water Board of New Orleans as of and for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, as listed in the table of contents. These basic financial statements are the responsibility ofthe Board's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these fmancial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and Govemment Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the fmancial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of intemal control over fmancial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness ofthe Sewerage and Water Board's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the fmancial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall fmancial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the basic fmancial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position ofthe Sewerage and Water Board of New Orleans as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The Management's Discussion and Analysis and the Schedules of Funding Progress and Employer Contributions as listed on the accompanying table of contents, are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary information required by the Govemmental Accounting Standards Board. We have applied certain limited procedures, which consisted principally of inquiries of management regarding the methods of measurement and presentation ofthe supplementary information. However, we did not audit the information and express no opinion on it.

In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued a report, dated June 12, 2009, on our consideration ofthe Board's intemal control over fmancial reporting and our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grants. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of intemal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the intemal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be read in conjunction with this report in considering the results of our audits.

Pension Trust Fund

2008

The major highlight in the Board's pension trust fund was the weakening financial performance in the stock market as compared to 2007 and the resulting depreciation of $60.7 million in the market value of the investments held by tiie plan during 2008, as opposed to the appreciation of $5.2 million in the market value ofthe investments during 2007. The plan net assets available of benefits decreased to $162.4 million.

The major highlight in the Board's pension trust fimd was the weakening financial performance in the stock market as compared to 2006 and the resulting appreciation of $5.2 million m the market value ofthe investments held by the plan during 2007, 78.6% less than the appreciation during 2006. TTie plan net assets available of benefits increased to $227.8 million.

OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

This financial report consists of five parts: management's discussion and analysis (this section), the financial statements, the notes to the financial statements, required supplementary information, and other supplementary information.

Government-wide Financial Statements - Enterprise Fund

The Board's principal activities of providing water, sewerage, and drainages services are accounted for in a single proprietary fund - the enterprise fund. Enterprise funds are used to report business activities. Since the enterprise fund is tlie Board's single activity, its fmancial statements are presented as the Board's govemment-wide financial statements.

Die financial statements provide both long-term and short-term infonnation about the Board's overall fmancial status. The financial statements also include notes that explain some ofthe information in the fmancial statements and provide more detailed data. The statements are followed by a section of required supplementary informafion and other supplementary information that further explain and support the information in the financial statements.

The Board's fmancial statements are prepared on an accrual basis in confonnity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) as applied to govemment units. Under this basis of accounting, revenues are recognized in the period in which they are eamed, expenses are recognized in the period in which they are incurred, and depreciation of assets is recognized in the Statements of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. All assets and liabilities associated with the operation ofthe Board are included in the Statements of Net Assets.

The Statement of Net Assets reports the Board's net assets. Net assets - the difference between the Board's assets and liabilities - are one way to measure the Board's financial health or position.

Fund Financial Statements -Pension Trust Fund

Tlie Board's fund financial statements consist of its pension tmst fund. As a fiduciary fund, the pension trust fund is held for the benefit of employees and retirees of the Board. The pension tmst fund is not

reflected in the govenunent wide financials because the resources are not available to the Board for its activities. The accounting for the pension trust fund is much like that used by the enterprise fund.

Tlie increase in power and pumping expenses in 2008 of $1.1 million or 8.7% is primarily due to an increase in salaries. The increase in treatment expenses in 2008 of $2.0 million or 12.1% is primarily due to an increase in the costs of chemicals. The decrease in transmission and distribution expenses in 2008 of $838,017 or 4.2% is primarily due to a decrease in damages due to natural disasters. The increase in payroll related expenses in 2008 of $3.3 million or 11.6% is primarily due to salary increases in accordance with City of New Orleans Civil Ser\'ice as well as an increased number of employees and $8.5 million recognized for an increase in the other postretirement benefits liability. The increase in mamtenance ofgeneral plant in 2008 of $6.5 million or 23.9%i resulted primarily from increases in the cost of high pressure gas, materials, supplies, contracts, fuel and electricity for all facilities and increases in payroll related costs, professional services, and consulting costs. Provisions for doubtful accounts decreased by $11.4 miUion or 90.1% in 2008 as a result of a smaller increase in closed accounts which are fully reserved than in 2007 and additional reserves for amounts not expected to be collected following Hurricane Katrina recognized during 2007. Provisions for claims increased by $3.0 million in 2008 as compared to 2007. Claims expense varies due to the number and severity ofthe claims during any period. The increase is due primarily to a large increase in resei-ves recognized during 2008 offset by claims payments made during 2008.

ECONOMIC FACTORS AND RATES

In post Katrina, there are significant other revenues and expenses, which impact the Board. State and federal grants related to the disaster are expected to have a significant impact on 2009. Total FEMA debris removal, mitigation, and capital replacement grants are expected to exceed $254 million. Of these approximately $200.3 million has been recognized througli 2008. FEMA revenues will continue to be recognized as buildings, systems, and other reimbursable assets ai'e repaired or replaced. In 2009, the Board will recognize additional portions of these revenues but much ofthe construction and replacement will not have been completed and the revenues although measurable may not be available due to the slowness of actual receipts of FEMA funds.

On March 21, 2007, the Board approved a series of five annual water rate increases beginning with the first increase on November 1, 2007 followed by four additional increases to be implemented on July 1 of each year, 2008 through 2011.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

History and Organization

The major operation ofthe Sewerage and Water Board of New Orleans (the Board) is providing water, sewerage and drainage services for the City of New Orleans (City). The Sewerage and Water Board of New Orleans was created by Act 6 of the Louisiana Legislature of 1899 as a special board independent of the City's govemment to construct, maintain and operate a water treatment and distribution system and a public sanitary sewerage system for the City. In 1903, the Legislature gave the Board control of and responsibility for the City's major drainage system and relieved the City of the duty of providing in its annual operating budget or otherwise for the maintenance and operations ofthe water, sewerage and drainage systems.

In accordance with the Louisiana Revised Statutes (LRS) 33:4096 and 4121, the Board has the authority to establish the water and sewerage rates to charge to its customers. Tlie rates are based on tlie actual water consumed and on the costs of maintenance and operation of the water and sewerage systems, including the costs of improvements and replacements. The collections of water and sewerage revenues are to be used by the Board for the maintenance and operation ofthe systems, the cost of improvements, betterments, and replacements, and to provide for the payments of interest and principal on the bonds payable. On March 21, 2007, the Board approved a series of five annual water rate increases beginning with the first increase on November 1, 2007 followed by four additional increases to be implemented on July 1 of each year, 2008 through 2011. The New Orleans City Council approved the annual water rate increases on October 4, 2007.

The Board has also been given the authority to levy and collect various tax millages which are used for the operation and maintenance ofthe drainage operations. All excess revenues collected are made available for capital development ofthe system. The proceeds ofthe rate collections and tax millages are invested in such investments as authorized by the LRS. These investments are reflected in the combined statement of net assets, as "restricted assets," as they are restricted to the purposes as described above.

The Board is composed of thirteen members, including the Mayor of the City, the two Council Members-at-Large, and one District Councilman selected by the City Council, two members ofthe Board of Liquidation and seven citizens appointed by the Mayor. The appointed members ofthe Board serve staggered nine year tenns.

The Board's accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America as applicable to utilities and to govemmental units. The following is a summary ofthe more significant policies.

(A) Reporting Entity

In conformity with the Govemmental Accounting Standards Board's definition of a reporting entity, the Board includes an enterprise fund and a pension trust fund for financial reporting purposes. The Board is considered a reporting entity based on the following criteria:

SEWERAGE AND WATER BOARD OF NEW ORLEANS

NOTES TO FINANCL4L STATEMENTS (Continued)

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(a) Responsibility for surpluses/deficits. The Board is solely responsible for its surpluses/deficits. In accordance with Louisiana Revised Statutes, no other govenunental unit is responsible for the Board's deficits or has a claim to its surpluses, Tlie Board's operations are self-sustaining; revenues are generated through charges to customers and dedicated property taxes. Other than grants, no funding is received from tlie State ofLouisiana or the City of New Orleans.

(b) Budget Approval. The Board is solely responsible for reviewing, approving and revising its budget.

(c) Responsibih'ty for Debt. The Louisiana Revised Statutes authorize the Board to issue bonds; such bonds must bear on their face a statement that they do not consritute a debt of the City. The Board is solely responsible for payments to the bondholders. No other govemmental unit is required by statute to make any payments to bondholders nor have any payments to bondholders ever been made by any governmental unit, except the Board.

(d) Designation of Management The Board controls the hiring of management and employees.

(e) Special Financial Relationship. The Board has no special fmancial relationships with any other governmental unit.

(f) Statutory Authority. The Board's statutory autliority was created by tlie State of Louisiana as an mdependent governmental unit. Only an amendment to state statutes can change or abolish the Board's authority'.

The Board is a stand-alone entity as defmed by Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement 14, The Financial Reporting Entity. The Board is a legally-separate govemmental organization that does not have a separately elected goveming body and does not meet the definition of a component unit. As a result of a Louisiana Supreme Court decision on March 21, 1994, the Board was declared to be an autonomous or self-governing legal entity, legally independent of the city, state and other govemments, created and organized pursuant to Louisiana Revised Statutes 33:4071 as a board, separate and independent ofthe governing authorities ofthe City and vested with autonomous or self goveming authority. No other government can mandate actions of the Board nor impose specific fmancial burdens. The Board is fiscally independent to operate under its bond covenant and the provisions ofLouisiana Revised Statute provisions.

The City of New Orleans includes the Board as a component unit in the City's fmancial statements.

(1) Summarv of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(B) Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

The Board's basic financial statements consist ofthe govemment-wide statements which include the proprietary fund (the enterprise fund) and the fund financial statements which includes the fiduciary fund (the pension trust fund). The operations of the Board are accounted for in the following fund types:

Proprietarv Fund Type

The proprietary fund is used to account for the Board's ongoing operations and activities which are similar to those often found in the private sector. The proprietary fund is accounted for using a flow of economic resources measurement focus. With this measurement focus, all assets and all liabilities associated with the operation of these funds are included on the statement of net assets. Net assets are segregated into amounts invested in capital assets (net of related debt), restricted for debt service, restricted for capital projects and unrestricted. The Board's restricted assets are expandable for their purposes. The Board utilizes available restricted assets before utilizing unrestricted assets. The operating statements present increases (revenues) and decreases (expenses) in net assets. The Board maintains one proprietary fund type - the enterprise fund. The enterprise fund is used to account for operations (a) that are fmanced and operated in a manner similar to private business enterprises-where the intent of the goveming body is that the cost (expenses, including depreciation) of providing goods or services to the general public on a continuing basis be financed or recovered primarily through user charges; or (b) where the governing body has decided that periodic detennination of revenues eamed, expenses incurred, and/or net income is appropriate for capita! maintenance. The presentation of the financial statements ofthe enterprise fund follows the format recommended by the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners (NARUC).

TTie statement of net assets arrangement for a utility reflects the relative importance ofthe various accounts. "Property, plant and equipment" is the fust major category on the asset side, and long-tenn capitalization categories of net assets are listed first on the liability side. Current assets and current liabilities are assigned a relatively less important position in the center ofthe statement of net assets, ratiier than being placed first as in the statement of net assets of commercial and industrial enterprises.

Operating revenues include all charges for service; other revenues include recormection fees and other miscellaneous charges. Operating expenses include the costs associated with providing water, sewerage and drainage services. Interest income, interest expense and tax revenues are presented as non-operating items.

The enteiprise fund is presented m the govemment-wide financial statements.

Fiduciary Fund Type

The fiduciary fund is used to account for assets held by the Board in a trustee capacity or as an agent for individuals, private organizations, other govemmental units and/or other funds. The Board maintains one fiduciary fiind type - the pension tmst fund. The pension trust fund uses tlie flow of economic "resources measurement focus. All assets and liabilities associated with the operation of this fund are mcluded in the statement of plan net assets. The pension trust fund is used to account for the activity ofthe Board's employee retirement plan.

The pension trust fund is presented in tlie fund fmancial statements.

The Board applies all applicable FASB pronouncements issued on or before November 30, 1989 in accounting for its enterprise fund and pension tmst fund operations unless those pronouncements conflict with or contradict GASB pronouncements.

(C) Basis of Accounting

The enterprise fund and the pension trust fund prepare their financial statements on the accmal basis of accounting. Unbilled utility service charges are not recorded as management considers the effect of not recording such unbilled receivables as not material. Property taxes are recorded as revenue in the year for which they are levied. Plan member conti'ibutions are recognized in the period in which contributions are due. Employer contributions to the pension plan are recognized when due and the employer has made a commitment to provide the contributions. Benefits and refunds are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the tenns ofthe plan.

(D) Investments

Investments are reported at fair value, except for short-term investments (maturity of one year or less) which are reported at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Securities traded in a national or intemational exchange are valued at the last reported sales price at current exchange rates. Investments that do not have an established market are repotted at estimated fair value.

(E) Inventory of Supplies

Inventory of supplies is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method.

(F) Propeitv. Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are carried at historical cost. The Board capitalizes moveable equipment with a value of $10,000 or greater, stationary, network and other equipment with a value of $5,000 or greater and all real estate. The cost of additions includes contracted work, direct labor, materials and allocable cost. Donated capital assets are recorded at their estimated fair value at the date of donation.

NOTES TO FINANCL^L STATEMENTS (Continued)

(1) Summarv of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Interest is capitalized on property, plant, and equipment acquired and/or constmcted with tax exempt debt. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life ofthe asset. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in revenue for the period. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to operations as incurred and significant renewals and bettennents are capitalized. Deduction is made for retirements resulting from renewals or betterments.

(G) Vacation and Sick Pay

Vacation (annual leave) and sick pay (sick leave) are accrued when eamed. Annual leave is accmed at the rate of .6923 of a workday for each bi-weekly accrual period for all employees on the payroll as of December 31, 1978. Employees hired after that date earn leave at a rate of .5 of a workday per bi-weekly pay period.

All employees on the payroll as of December 31, 1978 receive three bonus days each year; all employees hired after that date receive tliree bonus days each year for five through nine calendar years of continuous sendee; six bonus days each year for ten through fourteen years; nine bonus days each year for fifteen through nineteen years; and, twelve days for twenty or more years of continuous service. Civil Service's policy permits employees a limited amount of eamed but unused annual leave which will be paid to employees upon separation from the Board. The amount shall not exceed ninety days for employees hired before January 1, 1979, and forty-five days for employees hired after December 31, 1978.

Sick leave is accumulated on a bi-weekly basis by all employees hired prior to December 31, 1978 at an accrual rate of .923 of a workday. For employees hired subsequent to December 31, 1978, the accmal rate is .5 of a workday for each bi-weekly period, plus a two day bonus each year for employees with six tiirough fifteen calendar years of continuous seiyice, and seven bonus days each year for employees with sixteen or more calendar years of continuous service.

Upon separation from the Board, an employee can elect to convert imused sick leave for retirement credits or cash. The conversion to cash is determined by a rate ranging from one day of pay for five days of leave for the 1 st through 100th leave day to one day of pay for one day of leave for all days in excess of the 400th leave day. The total liability for unconverted sick leave as December 31, 2008 and 2007 is approximately $12,949,000 and $12,259,000, respectively. The amount included in the statements of net assets as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 is $9,435,109 and $8,982,354, respectively, which represents the annual leave and the converted sick leave since virtually all employees convert tiieir sick leave to cash. The amounts for compensated absences include the salar)' cost as well as certain salary related costs, such as tlie Board's share of social security expense. The following table summarizes changes in the Board's vacation and sick pay liability.

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(H) Pension

Tlie Board funds the accmed pension cost for its contributory pension plan which covers substantially all employees. Annual costs are actuarially computed using the entry age nonnal cost method.

(I) Drainage Svstem

In 1903, the Legislature gave the Board control of and responsibility for the City's drainage system. The Drainage System was established as a department of the enterprise fund to account for the revenues from three-mill, six-mill and nine-mill ad valorem taxes designated exclusively for drainage services. These revenues have been supplemented by inspection and license fees collected by the Board. There exists a potential for additional financing by additional user sen'ice charges. Expenditures from the system are for the debt service of three-mill, six-mill and nine-mill tax bonds and drainage related operation, maintenance and constmction.

(J) Self-Insurance/Risk Management

The Board is self-insured for general liability, worker's compensafion, unemployment compensafion and hospitalization benefits and claims. The accrued liability for the various types of claims represents an estimate by management ofthe eventual loss on the claims arising prior to year-end, including claims incurred and not yet reported including estimates of both future payments of losses and related claims adjustment and expense. Estimated expenses and recoveries are based on a case by case review.

(K) Capital Contributions

Contributions from developers and others, and receipts of Federal, State and City grants for acquisifion of property, plant and equipment are recorded as capital contributions in the statement of revenues, expenses and changes in net assets,

(L) Bond Issue Cost and Refinancing Gains (Losses')

Costs related to issuing bonds are capitalized and amortized based upon the methods used to approximate the interest method over the life ofthe bonds. Beginning with fiscal years in 1994 and thereafter, gains and losses associated with refundings and advance refundings are being deferred and amortized based upon the methods used to approxunate the interest method over the life of the new bonds or the remaining term on any refunded bond, whichever is shorter. Premiums associated with bond issues are amortized over the interest yield method.

(M) Cash Flows

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, only cash on hand and on deposit at fmancial institufions are considered to be cash equivalents. Certificates of deposits, treasury' bills and other securities are considered investments.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(1) Summarv of Significant Accounting Policies (continuedl

(N) Use of Restricted Assets

When restricted and unrestricted resources are available to cover expenses, unrestricted resources arc first applied.

(O) Use of Estimates

The preparafion of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estunates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of confingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and tlie reported amounts of revenue and expenditures during the period. Actual results could differ from those esfimates. The cun-ent economic environment has increased the degree of uncertainty inherent in those estimates and assumptions.

(P) Net Assets

The Board classifies net assets into two components: invested in capital assets, net of related debt and restricted. These components are defined as follows:

Invested in capital assets, net of related debt - This component of net assets consists of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciafion and reduced by the outstanding debt attributable to the acquisifion, construction, or improvement of those assets. If there are significant unspent related debt proceeds at year-end, the portion of the debt attributable to the unspent proceeds is not included in this component of net assets. Rather, that portion of debt is included in the same component of net assets as the unspent proceeds.

Restricted - This component reports those net assets with extemally imposed constraints placed on their use by creditors (such as through debt covenants), grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other govemments or constramts imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.

Unrestricted - This component reports net assets that do not meet the definition of either of the other two components.

(2) Cash and hivestments

The Board's investments and cash consist primarily of investments in direct obligations of the United States or agencies thereof and deposits with fmancial mstitutions.

(2) Cash and Investments (continued)

Custodial Credit Risk - Deposits - Custodial credit risk is the risk diat in the event of a bank failure, the govemment's deposits may not be returned to it. Statutes require that the Board's cash and certificates of deposit be covered by federal depository insurance or collateral. At December 31, 2008, the Board's deposits with banks consisted of cash totaling $40,291,215 and certificates of deposit of $138,370,437. At December 31, 2007, the Board's deposits with banks consisted of cash totalmg $22,882,391 and certificates of deposit of $116,329,710. Ofthe cash bank balance at December 31, 2008 and 2007, $815,258 and $760,331, respecfively, is covered by federal depository insurance. The remaining amount ofthe Board's cash bank balances and all certificates of deposit for 2008 and 2007 were covered by collateral held by custodial agents ofthe financial insfitufions in the name ofthe Board.

In accordance with GASB 40, unless there is infonnation to the contrary, obligations ofthe U.S. Govemment are not considered to have credit risk and do not require disclosure of credit quality.

Investments - Statutes authorize the Board to invest in obligafions of tlie U.S. Treasury, agencies, and instmmentalities, commercial paper rated A-1 by Standard & Poors Corporation or F-l by Moody's Commercial Paper Record, repurchase agreements, and the Louisiana Asset Management Pool (LAMP). In addition, the pension tmst fund is authorized to invest in corporate bonds rated A or better by Standard & Poors Corporation or AAA or better by Moody's Investors Service, and equity securifies.

LAMP is administered by LAMP, Inc., a non-profit corporation organized under the laws of the State ofLouisiana. Only local govemment entities having contracted to participate in LAMP have an investment interest in its pool of assets. The primary objective of LAMP is to provide a safe environment for tlie placement of public fimds in short-term, high quality investments. Tlie LAMP portfolio includes only securities and other obligafions in which local govemments in Louisiana are authorized to invest in accordance with Louisiana R.S. 33:2955. Accordingly, LAMP investments are restricted to securities issued, guaranteed, or backed by the U.S. Treasury, the U.S. Govemment, or one of its agencies, enterprises, or instrumentalities, as well as repurchase agreements collateralized by those securities. The dollar weighted average portfolio maturity of LAMP assets is restricted to not more than 90 days, and consists of no securities witli a maturit>' in excess of 397 days. LAMP is designed to be highly liquid to provide immediate access to participants. The fair market value of investments is determined on a weekly basis to monitor any variances between amortized cost and market value. For puiposes of detennining participants' shares, investments are valued at amortized cost.

Under the provisions of its benefit plan and state law, the Board's pension benefit trust engages in securities lending to broker dealers and other entities for cash collateral that will be retumed for the same securities in the future. The cash collateral caimot be liquidated by tiie Board unless the borrower defaufts. Cash collateral is initially pledged at 104% of the market value of securhies lent and additional collateral is provided by the next business day if the value falls to less than 100% ofthe market value ofthe securities lent. No collateral exposure existed as of December 31, 2008 and 2007. The value of securifies lent at December 31, 2008 and 2007 was $38,883,529 and $52,141,791. The market value ofthe cash collateral at December 31, 2008 and 2007 was $40,559,644 and $54,107,811.

(2) Cash and Investments (continued)

Interest Rate Risk - Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect tlie fair value of an investment, hi general, the longer the maturity of an investment, the greater the sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market interest rates. The Board has a formal investment policy that states that the investment portfolio shall remain sufficiently liquid to meet all operating and capital requirements that may be reasonably anticipated and that maturities of investments are to be structured in concurrent with cash needs to meet anticipated demand. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Board's Enterprise Fund investments in U.S, Govemment Securifies and Instmmentalities included U.S. Treasury Bills and Strips totaling $17,596,899 and $66,601,3 13, respectively, all of which have a remaining maturity of less than one year.

Credit Risk - State law limits investments in securities issued, or backed by United States Treasury obligafions, and U.S. Govemment instrumentalifies, which are federally sponsored. The Board's investment policy does not further limit its investment choices. LAMP is rated AAAm by Standard & Poor's. The Pension Trust Fund's investment policy requires that fixed income investments be investment grade (BBB or higher as rated by Standard & Poor's or Baa or higher as rated by Moody's. Bonds rated below BBB/Baa are not to exceed 15% ofthe portfolio and non-rated bonds are not to exceed 1% ofthe portfolio.

(3) Defined Benefit Pension Plan

The Board has a single-employer contributory retirement plan covering all full-time employees, the Pension Trust Fund (PTF). The Board's payroll for current employees covered by PTF for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 was $29,466,571 and $26,544,603, respectively; such amounts exclude overtime and standby payroll. Total payroll, including overtime and standby payroll, was $42,733,299 and $38,438,336 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respecfively. At December 31, the PTF membership consisted of:

2008 2007 KctiTccs and beneficiaries currently receiving benefits and

NOTES TO F1NANCL4L STATEMENTS (Continued)

(3) Defined Benefit Pension Plan (continued)

The plan provides for retirement benefits as well as death and disability benefits. All benefits vest after ten years of service. Employees who retire at or after age sixty-five with ten years of credited service are entitled to an atmual retirement benefit, payable biweekly for life, in an amount eqtial to two percent of their average compensation for each year of credited service up to ten years, increasing by (1) one-half percent per year for sen'ice years over ten years, (2) an additional one-half percent per year for service years over twenty years and (3) an additional one percent per year for service years over thirty years, for a maximum of four percent for each year of credited service. Average compensafion is the average annual eamed compensafion (prior to 2002, less $1,200) for the period of tliirty-six successive months of service during which the employee's compensation was the highest. Employees with thirty years or more of credited service may retire without a reduction in benefits. Employees may retire prior to age sixty-two without thirty years of service with a reduction in benefits of three percent for each year of age below the age of sixty-two. If an employee leaves covered employment or dies before three years of credited service, the accumulated employee contributions plus related investment earnings are refimded to the employee or designated beneficiaiy.

The retirement allowance for retirees over age sixty-two is subject to a cost of living adjustment each January 1, provided that the member retired on or after January 1, 1984. The adjustment is based on the increase in the Consumer Price Index for all urban wage earners published by the U.S. Department of Labor, but is limited to an annual maximum of two percent on the first $10,000 of inifial refirement benefits.

Effective September 23, 1993, employers may transfer credit between the Board's plan and die City of New Orleans retirement system with full credit for vested service. The Board and its employees are obligated under plan provisions to make all required contribufions to the plan. The required contributions are actuarially detennined. Level percentage of payroll employer contribution rates is determined using the entiy age normal actuarial funding method. Employees are required to contribute four percent of their regular salaries or wages.

The Board had attained fttii funding of the actuarially computed pension liability in 2000. Effective June 19, 2002, however, as a result ofthe adoption of several plan changes in accordance with the Board's reciprocity agreement with the City of New Orleans, the plan became unfunded. These changes unpacted the plan's funding requirements by $20,333,835, which is being amortized over a 10 year period. Key changes adopted included; (a) amendment to benefit formula; (b) adoption of a "Rule of 80" rethement; (c) change in the years of service required for a terminating employee to qualify' for a later separafion benefit from 10 years to 5 years; and (d) eliminafion ofthe exclusion ofthe fu-st $1,200 of eamings form benefits and contributions.

The annual required contribution for the curreni year was determined as part ofthe December 31, 2008 actuarial valuation using the entry age normal cost method. The actuarial assumpfions included (a) 7.0% investment rate of retum (net of administrative expenses) and (b) projected salary increase of 5.0% per year. Both (a) and (b) mcluded an inflafion component of 2.0%. The actuarial value of assets was determined usmg a seven-year weighted market average.

Beginning in 1996, the Board offered employees a "Deferred Refirement Option Plan" (DROP), an optional retirement program which allows an employee to elect to freeze his or her retirement benefits, but continue to work and draw a salary for a minimum period of one year to a maximum period of five years. While confinuing employment, the retirement benefits are segregated from overall plan assets available to other parficipants. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, 99 and 81 employees, respectively, participated in the plan. The amount of plan assets segregated for these individuals was $4,034,240 and $3,966,600 as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

c. Regulatory Matters

Tlie Board, as well as other utilities, is subject to environmental standards imposed by federal, state and local environmental laws and regulafions. The Board has entered into a consent decree with the United States which allows the Board to go forward with its major program to repair and rehabilitate the sewerage system while drawing on a $100 million cormnitment from the United States Environmental Protecfion Agency. The Board expended $39,347,784 ofthe commitment at December 31, 2008 and 2007. TTie overall costs ofthe program are estimated at $604.8 million over a period ending in 2010. The Board is in compliance with the decree.

The Board is also participatmg in Federal financial award programs which are subject to financial and compliance audits by various agencies. No disallowed costs have been idenfified. As part of Federal and other govemmental agency funding, the Board is required to match a portion of fiinding received. The Board believes it has sufficient funds to meet its matching requirements.

d. Postemployment Healthcare Benefits

Plan Description - The Board's post-employment medical benefits for retirees are provided through a self-insured medical plan and are made available to employees upon actual retirement.

The refirement eligibility (D.R.O.P. entry) provisions are as follows: 30 years of service at any age; age 62 and 10 years of seiyice; age 65 and 5 years of service; age 70 regardless of service; or, if age plus seiyice equals at least 80. Complete plan provisions are contained in the official plan documents. Currently, the Board provides post employment medical benefits to 582 retired employees.

Contribution Rates - Employees do not contribute to their post employment benefits costs until they become retirees and begin receiving those benefits. The plan provisions and contribufion rates are contained in the official plan documents.

Fund Policy - Unfil 2007, the Board recognized the cost of providing post-employment medical benefits (the Boai'd's portion ofthe retiree medical benefit premiums) as an expense when the benefit premiums were due and tiius financed the cost of the post-employment benefits on a pay-as-you-go basis, hi 2008 and 2007, the Board's portion of health care funding cost for retired employees totaled $5,673,616 and $6,143,654, respectively.

Effective Januaiy 1, 2007, the Board implemented Govemment Accounfing Standards Board Statement Number 45, Accounting and Financial Reporting by Employers for Post employment Benefits Other than Pensions (GASB 45). This amount was applied toward the Net OPEB Benefit Obligafion as shown in the following tables.

Annual Required Contribufion - The Board's Annual Required Contribufion (ARC) is an amount actuarially detennined in accordance with GASB 45. The ARC is the sum ofthe Normal Cost plus tiie contribufion to amortize the Actuarial Accrued Liability (AAL). A level dollar, open amortization period of 30 years (the maxiriium amortization period allowed by GASB 43/45) has been used for the post-employment benefits. The actuarially computed ARC is as follows:

2008 2007 Normal Cost $ 4,013,401 $ 3.191,001 30-year UAL amortization amount 10,291,219 9,627,363 Annual required contribution (ARC) $ 14,304,620 $ 12,818,364

Funded Status and Funding Progress - in 2008 and 2007, Tlie Board made no contribufions to its post employment benefits plan. The plan is not funded, has no assets, and hence has a funded rafio of zero. As of January 1, 2008, the most recent actuarial valuation, the Actuarial Acciued Liability (AAL) was $177,956,339, which is defined as that portion, as detennined by a particular actuarial cost method (the Board uses the Unit Credit Cost Method), ofthe actuarial present value of post employment plan benefits and expenses which is not provided by normal cost.

d. Postemployment Healthcare Benefits (continued)

Actuarial Methods and Assumptions - Actuarial valuations involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and assumpfions about the probability of events far into the future. The actuarial valuafion for post employment benefits includes estimates and assumptions regarding (1) tumover rate; (2) retirement rate; (3) health care cost trend rate; (4) mortality rate; (5) discount rate (investment retum assumption); and (6) the period to which the costs apply (past, current, or futui-e years of service by employees). Actuarially determined amounts are subject to continual revision as actual results are compared to past expectations and new estimates are made about the future.

The actuarial calculations are based on tiie types of benefits provided under the tenns of the substantive plan (the plan as understood by tiie Board and its employee plan members) at the time ofthe valuation and on the pattem of sharing costs between the Board and its plan members to that pomt. The projection of benefits for fmancial reporting purposes does not explicitly incorporate the potential effects of legal or contractual fundmg limitations on the pattem of cost sharing between the Board and plan members in the future. Consistent with the long-tenn perspective of actuarial calculations, the actuarial methods and assumptions used include techniques that are designed to reduce short-lemi volatility in actuarial tiabilifies and the actuarial value of assets.

Actuarial Cost Method - The ARC is detemiined using the Unit Credit Cost Method. The employer portion of the cost for retiree medical care in each future year is determined by projecting tiie current cost levels using the healthcare cost trend rate and discounting this projected amount to the valuation date using the other described pertinent actuarial assumptions, including the investment retum assumption (discount rate), mortality, and tumover.

Actuarial Value of Plan Assets - There are not any plan assets. It is anticipated that in future valuations a smoothed market value consistent with Actuarial Standards Board ASOP 6, as provided in paragraph number 125 of GASB Statement 45.

Tumover Rate - An age-related tumover scale based on actual experience has been used. The rates, when applied to the active employee census, produce a composite average annua] tumover of approximately 7%. In addition to age related tumover, it has additionally been assumed that 10% of future eligible retirees will decline coverage upon retirement. The rates for each age are below:

Age Percent Tumover 10.0% 8.0% 5.0% 4.0%

d. Postemployment Healthcare Benefits (confinued)

Post employment Benefit Plan Eligibility Requirements - It is assumed that entitlement to benefits will cormnence five years after earliest eligibility for retirement (D.R.O.P. entry). The fwe years is to accommodate the anticipated period of tiie D.R.O.P. Also, if the initial eligibility for D.R.O.P. entry is prior to age 55, an additional one year delay has been assumed, and it has been assumed that members eligible for the "Rule of 80" retirement formula delay three years beyond that earliest retirement date. Medical benefits are provided to employees upon actual retirement. The retirement eligibility (D.R.O.P. entry) provisions are as follows: 30 years of service at any age; age 62 and 10 years of service; age 65 and 5 years of service; age 70 regardless of service; or, if age plus scrv'icc equals at least 80. Entitlement to benefits contuiues througli Medicare to death.

Investment Retum Assumption (Discount Rate) - GASB Statement 45 states that the investment retum assumption should be the estimated long-term investment yield on the investments that are expected to be used to finance the payment of benefits (that is, for a plan which is funded). Based on the assumption that the ARC will not be funded, a 4% annual investment return has been used in this valuation. This is a conservative estimate ofthe expected long term retum of a balanced and conservative investment portfolio under professional management

Health Care Cost Trend Rate - The expected rate of increase in medical cost is based on projections performed by the Office of the Actuary at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services as published in National Health Care Expenditures Projections: 2003 to 2013, Table 3: National Health Expenditm-es, Aggregate and per Capita Amounts, Percent Distribution and Average Annual Percent Change by Source of Funds: Selected Calendar Years 1990-2013, released in January, 2004 by the Health Care Financing Administration (www.cms.hhs.gov). "State and Local" rates for 2008 through 2013 from this report were used, with rates beyond 2013 graduated down to an ultimate armual rate of 5.0% for 2016 and later.

Mortality Rate - The 1994 Group Annuity Reser\'ing (94GAR) table, projected to 2002, based on a fixed blend of 50% ofthe unloaded male mortality rate and 50% ofthe unloaded female mortality rates, was used. This is the mortality table which the Intemal Revenue Service requires to be used in detennining the value of accrued benefits in defmed benefit pension plans. Since GASB 45 requires tiie use of "unblended" rates, the 94GAR mortality table described above was used to "unblend" the rates so as to reproduce the composite blended rate overall as the rate structure to calculate the actuarial valuation results for life insurance.

Method of Determining Value of Benefits - The "value of benefits" has been assumed to be the portion of the premium after retirement date expected to be paid by the employer for each retiree and has been used as the basis for calculating the actuarial present value of OPEB benefits to be paid. The current premitun schedules for active and retired are "unblended" rates, as required by GASB 45.

(14) Natural Disaster (continued)

As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Board has cumulatively received $140,969,811 and $113,635,454, respectively, of cash reimbursements from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Included in accounts receivable as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 are $13,046,853 and $72,165,526, respectively, of reimbursements due from FEMA. In 2008, approximately $48 million of receivables were written off as a result of expenses previously submitted to FEMA for reimbursement that are cuirently in dispute and subject to appeal or due to expenses that have been disallowed by FEMA. Eligible FEMA grants totaling in excess of $254 million are in various stages of tiie approval process and include amounts for system repairs, building repairs, vehicle and equipment repairs and replacements, temporary power, supplies and other costs.

On June 29, 2007, the Board entered into a Cooperative Endeavor Agreement with tiie State of Louisiana, City of New Orleans, Louisiana, and the Louisiana Public Facilities Authority (LFPA). The LFPA agreed to issue its bonds to provide the cash capital investment to pay for capital improvements ofthe City of New Orleans and the Board. The establishment ofthe construction fund pennits the Board and City of New Orleans to publicly bid contracts that are subject to a Project Worksheet that has been obligated by FEMA or for which an award letter has been received and encumber such amounts. The State ofLouisiana, City of New Orleans, and Sewerage and Water Board agree that as FEMA pays any reimbursement amounts related to projects for which disbiu'sements have been made, or tiie City or the Sewerage atid Water Board receives monies related to the hazard mitigation gi"ant program for which disbursements have been made from the constmction fund, the full amount of such projects shall be deposited in the construction fund and used to fund additional projects until all City of New Orleans and Sewerage and Water Board improvements are completed. The total amount made available to the Board under tiie agreement was $100,000,000. At December 31, 2008, the Board had an outstanding obligation under the agreement of $7,831,592 included as a liability m due to other governments on the statements of net assets, which represent amounts not yet reimbursed by FEMA and deposited back mto the construction fund. There were no outstanding obligafions at December 31, 2007.

In 2008, the Board received an excess payment of FEMA funds in the amoimt of $21,097,027. This balance is included as a liability in due to other governments on the statements of net assets.

(15) Restatement

The Board identified an error in accumulated depreciation which impacted prior year fmancial statements. This error resulted in a restatement which reduced accumulated depreciation and increased net assets invested in capital assets - net of related debt by $19,727,707 and $7,842,904 as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respecfively.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engi­neers and The Sewerage & Water Board of New Orleans are con­structing a $58.8 million concrete box culvert canal beneath the median of Dwyer Road to Improve drainage in eastern New Orleans. The new 12 by 10-foot subsurface canal will run for 6,800 feet from the St. Charles Canal to the Dw­yer Pumping Station at Jourdan Road. It will parallel an existing canal of the same size. The proj­ect also includes improvements to the Dwyer Pumping Station to be completed in late 2009 and the station's outfall pipes/canal work completed in 2004.

s

Approximately $6.3 million in repair costs was needed to fully restore the Fluid Bed Incinerator at the East Bank Sewage Treatment Plant which was severely damaged by Katrina. The plant suf­fered tidal surges and was inundated by 16 feet of water during the devastating storm. The unit was returned to service in August of 2008. The incinerator is used to dispose of sludge and solid material from the wastewater treatment process. The unit is designed to dispose ot 40 dry tons of sludge per day, but currently 20 dry tons per day are disposed of due to the reduced population of the City.

Periodic refurbishing of processing basins, an integral part of water purification, is necessary to increase their mechanical integrity and longevity. Basins remove sediment from water as it moves through the process. The basin on the left was recently put tack into service after improvements done by a private contractor. Renovation of the basin on the right is underway, v rith the work being done by the Board's Facility Maintenance Department vwth support from many other departments. Doing the work in-house is expected to result in substantial cost savings for the Board. The basins are located at the East Bank Water Treatment Plant.

The Sewerage & Water Board's Water Quality Laboratory occupies 8,500 square feet of floor space at the East Bank Water Treatment Plant. The lab Is an advanced environmental facility using state-of-the-art technology for detecting and identifying possible contaminants at very tow levels of con­centrations. Chemists, microbiologists and technicians are on duty or on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week to work vifith water plant managers and operators on the East Bank and in Algiers.

* Note: The results for nitrates + nitrites, color, and metal constituents (indicated with asterisks) are from the Louisiana Department of HeaHh and Hospitals. Ali other results are from testing by the S&\^'B Water Quality Laboratory, Conceming the chemical results, the S&WB Water Quality Laboratory does not meet the higher criteria required by DHH-OPH to be classified as a

"DHH-OPH Certified Chemical Laboratory/Drinking Water"; therefore, any results reported by this laboratory for chemical drinking water parameters which are required to be analyzed in a certified laboratory are officially deemed mvalid.

The S&WB laboratory is certified for Total Coliform and Fecal Coliform bacteriological testing.

** Note. Lead and Copper resuhs are from 2004. Testing was performed in 2008, howe-ver, results were not yet available from DHH at the time of this report.

REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WFTH

GOVERNMENT A UDITING STANDARDS

To the Members ofthe Board Sewerage and Water Board of New Orleans:

We have audited the financial statements ofthe Sewerage and Water Board of New Orleans (the Board) as of and for the year ended December 31, 2008, and have issued our report thereon dated June 12, 2009. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General ofthe United States.

Intemal Control Over Financial Reporting

In planning and performing our audit, we considered the Board's internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements, but not for the purposes of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness ofthe Board's intemal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness ofthe Board's intemal control over financial reporting.

Our consideration of internal control over financial reportmg was for the limited purpose described in the preceding paragraph and would not necessarily identify all deficiencies in intemal control over financial reporting that might be significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. However, as discussed below, we identified a certain deficiency in intemal control over financial reporting that we consider to be a significant deficiency.

A control deficiency exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of perfomiing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on atimely basis. A significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects the Board's ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report financial data reliably in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement-of the Board's financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected by the Board*s intemal control. We consider the deficiency described in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs as item 200S-1 to be a significant deficiency in internal control over financial reporting.

A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the financial statements will not be prevented or detected by Board's intemal control.

Our consideration ofthe internal control over fmancial reporting was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and would not necessarily identify all deficiencies in intemal control that might be significant deficiencies, and accordingly would not disclose all significant deficiencies that are also considered to be material weaknesses. However, we consider the significant deficiency described above as item 2008-1 to be a material weakness.

Compliance and Other Matters

As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Board's financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit and, accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.

The Board's response to the findings identified in our audit is described in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs. Wc did not audit the Board's response and accordingly, we express no opinion on it.

This report is intended solely for the information and use ofthe Board, the Board's management and federal awarding agencies and pass-through entities, such as the State of Louisiana and Legislative Auditor's Office and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties. However, under Louisiana Revised Statute 24:513, this report is distributed by the Legislative Auditor as a public document.

REPORT ON COMPLLWCE WITH REQUDREMENTS APPLICABLE TO THE MAJOR PROGRAM, ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE IN ACCORDANCE WITH

OMB CIRCULAR A-133 AND THE SCHEDULE OF EXPENDITURES OF FEDERAL AWARDS

To the Members ofthe Board Sewerage and Water Board of New Orleans:

Compliance

We have audited the compliance ofthe Sewerage and Water Board of New Oiieans (the Board) with the types of compliance requirements described in the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-J33 Compliance Supplement that are appUcable to each of its major federal programs for the year ended December 31, 2008. The Board's major federal program is identified m the summary of auditors' results section of the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs. Compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grants applicable to each of its major federal programs is the responsibility ofthe Board's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Board's compliance based on our audit.

We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained m Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General ofthe United Stales; and OMB Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations. Those standards and OMB Circular A-133 require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Board's compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our audit does not provide a legal determination ofthe Board's compliance with those requirements.

In our opinion, the Board complied, in all material respects, with the requirements referred to above that are applicable to its major federal program for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Fitemal Control Over Compliance

The management ofthe Board is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective intemal control over comphance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts, and grants applicable to federal programs. In planning and performing our audit, we considered the Board's intemal control over

compliance with requirements that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program in order to determine our auditing procedures for the puipose of expressing our opinion on compliance and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with OMB Circular A-133. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Board's internal control over compliance.

A control deficiency in the Board's internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects the Board's ability to administer a federal program such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a type of compliance requirement of a federal program that is more than inconsequential wiU not be prevented or detected by the Board's internal control.

A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program will not be prevented or detected by the Board's mtemal control.

Our consideration of the intemal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this sectiion and would not necessarily identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. We did not identify any deficiencies in Latemal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above.

Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards

We have audited the basic financial statements ofthe Board as of and for the year ended December 31, 2008, and have issued our report thereon dated June 12, 2009. Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards is presented for purposes of additional analysis as required by OMB Circular A-133 and is not a required part ofthe basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

This report is intended solely for tlie information ofthe Board, the Board's management and federal awarding agencies and pass-through entities, such as the State of Louisiana and Legislative Auditor's Office, and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties. However, under Louisiana Revised Statute 24:513, this report is distributed by the Legislative Auditor as a public document.

SEWERAGE AND WATER BOARD OF NEW ORLEANS New Orleans, Louisiana

Schedule ofFindings and Questioned Costs (continued)

Year ended December 31, 2008

2008-1 -Internal Control over Financial Reporting (continued)

Criteria: The definition of intemal controls over financial reporting is that policies and procedures exist that pertain to an entity's ability to initiate, record, process, and report financial data consistent with the assertions embodied in the annual financial statements, which for the Board is that financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Our responsibility under current audit standards requires us to communicate this issue to management and the Board of Commissioners.

Effect: As part of the audit process; we have historically assisted management in drafimg the financial statements and related notes for the year-end audit procedures. During the course of our audit procedures we identified significant adjusting entries to general ledger accounts. Because our involvement is so important to the financial reporting process and due to the significance of the financial statement adjustments, this is an indication that the intemal control over financial reporting ofthe Board meets the definition of a significant deficiency and reaches the level of a material weakness.

Cause: Management did not perform the reconciliations of some general ledger accounts in a timely manner.

Auditor's recommendation: All general ledger accounts should be reconciled in a timely manner and reviewed by management. This review should be documented.

Management response: Receipt of documents and clarity of reimbursement of funds resulted in delay of posting the FEMA Receivables and Payables. The lack of sufficient and experienced staff had a direct impact on the timeliness ofthe reconciliation process and review. Additionally, management has established new procedures to strengthen intemal controls and reconciliation of all accounts timely.

(3) Findings and Questioned Costs relating to Federal Awards: None
