October 6, 2014 To the Board of Directors Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority Charlottesville, Virginia The Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) of the Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority (Authority) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014 is submitted herewith. This report has been prepared in conformity with the reporting and accounting standards promulgated by the Government Accounting Standards Board and the Financial Accounting Standards Board and with the accounting and reporting standards for enterprise funds set out by the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada, with such modifications as apply to our status as an independently chartered corporation. Based upon a comprehensive framework of internal control that it has established for this purpose, management assumes responsibility for the completeness and reliability of the information contained in this report. The objective of internal control is to provide reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance that the financial statements are free of material misstatements, because the cost of each internal control should not outweigh the potential benefit. Management’s discussion and analysis (MD&A) immediately follows the independent auditors’ report and provides a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis of the basic financial statements. MD&A complements this letter of transmittal and should be read in conjunction with it. ORGANIZATION AND SERVICES PROVIDED The Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority is a regional non-profit public corporation and political subdivision of the Commonwealth of Virginia chartered in 1972 under the Virginia Water and Waste Authorities Act (1950, as amended), that supplies drinking water to and treats the sewage of Charlottesville (City) and certain areas of Albemarle County (County). The Authority is a wholesale agency and bills monthly both Charlottesville and the Albemarle County Service Authority, which handle retail distribution of water and collection of sewage in their respective service areas. The Authority is charged to acquire, finance, construct, operate and maintain facilities for the impoundment, production, storage, treatment and transmission of potable water and for the interception, treatment and discharge of wastewater. The Authority operates under the terms of a Service Agreement signed June 12, 1973 by the officers of the Charlottesville City Council, the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors, the Albemarle County Service Authority and the Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority. The Authority has determined that it is not part of the reporting entity of either the City of Charlottesville or the County of Albemarle and will not be included in the financial report of either (see Note 1 to the Financial Statements).
3
ORGANIZATION AND SERVICES PROVIDED: (CONTINUED) The Authority is governed by a seven member Board of Directors (Board). The Board appoints an Executive Director, who manages Authority operations under their direction. The Authority is now organized in administration, laboratory, engineering, maintenance, water, and wastewater departments. The Authority operates and maintains five water treatment plants and three wastewater treatment plants and the associated water storage facilities, pump stations, transmission mains and interceptor sewers, as well as a hydropower generating facility. Retail distribution of water and collection of wastewater is performed by the Authority's two customers: the City of Charlottesville's Public Utilities Division and the Albemarle County Service Authority. JOINT ADMINISTRATION By mutual agreement of the respective Boards of Directors, the Authority currently shares administrative staff and office space with the Rivanna Solid Waste Authority, which is billed monthly for its portion of the costs. Administrative procedures were implemented to ensure proper segregation of funds, purchasing activity, personnel, and similar matters. In general, the Rivanna Solid Waste Authority adopted existing Authority administrative policies, procedures and regulations for its own use. The Authorities have also agreed to adopt and administer joint Safety Regulations and a joint Safety Program. ECONOMIC CONDITION AND PROSPECTS The University of Virginia provides a significant buffer against large swings in the economy of our service area. In addition, the Charlottesville urban area is a major retail trade center for the surrounding region. Housing growth remains steady. Although the majority of such growth occurs in County developments, in-filling in Charlottesville continues. Both Charlottesville and Albemarle County enjoy low unemployment rates, steady economic growth and high bond ratings. A recent ten-year compilation analysis report dated August 2014 by the Charlottesville Area Chamber of Commerce examining employment in the Greater Charlottesville Region showed total jobs grew from 101,907 in 2002 to 114,911 in 2013, an increase of 12.7%. This growth occurred despite the national recession during this time period and, in particular, two years of job declines of -622 in 2008 and -3,440 in 2009 and no growth or loss in 2010. The report describes some concerns that the overall growth rate for 2013 was slightly less than the 2012, but there was three straight years of job growth in the region. The report noted that non-governmental private enterprise jobs growth of 13.1% significantly outperformed job growth for the Commonwealth which was 5.6%. The Charlottesville-Albemarle area attracts many visitors to its historic sites and the wine industry has been popular and has served to help benefit the tourism sector of the regional economy. The travel and tourism industry make a vital contribution to the local economy. The University of Virginia has begun several large capital projects that will continue to be the impetus of growth for water and sewer services. Our current Capital Improvement Program, as discussed below, reflects the Authority's response to the current and projected service burden on our facilities and to the need to respond to regulatory requirements.
4
LONG-TERM FINANCIAL PLANNING The Authority expects continued growth in demand for water supply and sewage disposal services as well as the ever changing regulatory environment. Our current five-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for Fiscal years 2014-2018 is heavily driven by regulatory changes in the future for water quality standards in particular meeting the requirements of the Disinfectant By-product Rule (DPBR). This rule regulates maximum contaminant level for total trihalomethanes (THMs) and haloacetic acids (HAAs) in drinking water. The long-term goal is to finance the majority of these projects with revenue bonds; however, the Authority has targeted using a significant portion of cash reserves to fund its current $152 million CIP. For details, please refer to the MD&A. MAJOR INITIATIVES Several capital projects were completed in FY 2014, including most of the Meadowcreek Interceptor Improvements, Mitigation Plan Implementation, and Stillhouse Pump Station. Continued construction of the Rivanna Pump Station and Tunnel over the next 5 years is currently the largest capital project in the wastewater system. This project is anticipated to cost $33 million. For the water system, construction was completed in September 2014 on the much anticipated new Ragged Mountain Dam that will replace two older 1888 and 1901 upper and lower Ragged Mountain Dams. The dams were found to have safety deficiencies and were in need of capital investment to correct. This project is also the result of a 10 plus year community water supply process that identified all possible alternatives with the Ragged Mountain Dam being the selected alternative requiring numerous federal and state permitting efforts. This project essentially takes care of two separate and significant capital investment needs. As mentioned previously, The DPBR regulations are requiring the water plants to undergo major capital upgrades to install Granular Activated Carbon treatment systems. These systems carry significant capital costs as well as significant operating costs in the future. ACCOUNTING AND BUDGETARY CONTROLS The Authority's accounting records are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting. Under this method, revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recorded when incurred, without regard to receipt or payment of cash. Current controls provide reasonable assurance that the Authority's assets are properly recorded and protected and that the financial data may be used with confidence in the preparation of historical reports and projections. Accounting control is maintained by segregation of duties and data security systems in all areas of record keeping, disbursements, and purchasing authority. All of these control systems are reviewed regularly by staff and are evaluated as part of the annual financial audit (see Annual Audit section below). The Authority is required by the Service Agreement to adopt an annual budget for setting wholesale rates as well as for fiscal guidance to staff. Separate fiscal year budgets are currently prepared for six rate centers to include direct costs and allocations of administrative, engineering, maintenance, lab and debt service expenses. Projections of flows and expenses are used to calculate rates per thousand gallons for the two Urban rate centers and flat monthly charges for the other rate centers. A proposed budget for each fiscal year is prepared by the Authority Directors and the Executive Director and submitted to the Board of Directors, usually in February, with a public hearing held on the proposed rates in April or May. All budget items lapse at the end of the fiscal year, with the exception of encumbrances and capital commitments. It should be noted that the budget is prepared for internal use and does not reflect the accrual basis of accounting. An example of this is that principal payments on debt are shown as an expense.
5
Budgetary compliance is monitored and reported to the Board by the Director of Finance & Administration and the Executive Director. Projections of both revenues and expenses are understood to reflect anticipated service levels and to incorporate a variety of economic, climatic, and demographic forecasts. Variances from budget line items are examined at least monthly to assure a reasonable relation between actual costs and actual service levels, emergencies, or economic conditions. ANNUAL AUDIT The Code of Virginia, the June 12, 1973 Service Agreement, the Trust Agreement and its Supplements require an annual audit of the books and records of the Authority. The opinion of our independent certified public accountants is included in the Financial Section. AWARDS The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority for its comprehensive annual financial report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013. In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, a governmental unit must publish an easily readable and efficiently organized comprehensive annual financial report. This 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 comprehensive annual financial report 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. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The help of the Authority’s staff and of our certified public accountants is gratefully acknowledged. Such help and the Board of Directors’ support and commitment to financial reporting excellence are essential to the preparation of this report. Respectfully submitted, Lonzy E. Wood, III Director of Finance and Administration

Independent Auditors’ Report
To the Board of Directors Rivanna Water & Sewer Authority Charlottesville, Virginia Report on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the business-type activities of Rivanna Water & Sewer Authority as of and for the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the Authority’s basic financial statements, as listed in the table of contents. Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditors’ Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and the Specifications for Audits of Authorities, Boards, and Commissions, issued by the Auditor of Public Accounts of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the business-type activities of Rivanna Water & Sewer Authority, as of June 30, 2014 and 2013, and the respective changes in financial position, and cash flows thereof for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s discussion and analysis and schedules of pension and OPEB funding progress on pages 13-22 and 63-64 be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements that collectively comprise the Rivanna Water & Sewer Authority’s basic financial statements. The introductory and statistical sections are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. The schedule of expenditures of federal awards is presented for purposes of additional analysis as required by U.S. Office of Management and Budget Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations, and is also not a required part of the basic financial statements.
The schedule of expenditures of federal awards is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the schedule of expenditures of federal awards is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.
The introductory and statistical sections have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basis financial statements and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on them.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated October 6, 2014, on our consideration of Rivanna Water & Sewer Authority’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering Rivanna Water & Sewer Authority’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

Management's Discussion and Analysis To the Board of Directors Rivanna Water & Sewer Authority Charlottesville, Virginia As management of the Rivanna Water & Sewer Authority (the Authority), we offer readers of our financial statements this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the Authority for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014. 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 3 through 6 of this report. Overview of the Financial Statements This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the Authority's basic financial statements. Since the Authority is engaged only in business-type activities, its basic financial statements are comprised of only two components: 1) enterprise fund financial statements and 2) notes to the financial statements. This report also contains required supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements themselves. Enterprise fund financial statements. The enterprise fund financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the Authority's finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector business. The statement of net position presents information on the Authority's assets, deferred outflows of resources, and liabilities, with the difference reported as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the Authority is improving or deteriorating. The statement of revenues, expenses, and changes in net position presents information showing how the Authority's net position changed during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of the cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods (e.g. earned but unused vacation leave). The basic enterprise fund financial statements can be found on pages 24 through 27 of this report. Notes to the financial statements. The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the financial statements. The notes to the financial statements can be found on pages 29 through 60 of this report. Required supplementary information. This report also includes required supplementary information concerning the Authority's progress in funding its obligation to provide pension and other postemployment benefits to its employees. It is located immediately following the notes to financial statements.

Financial Highlights
− The assets and deferred outflows of resources of Rivanna Water & Sewer Authority exceeded its liabilities at the close of the most recent fiscal year by $129 million (net position). Of this amount $32 million (unrestricted net position) may be used to meet the Authority's normal ongoing operating obligations to customers and creditors while $3 million of net position are restricted for the bondholders.
− The Authority’s total net position increased by $7 million in FY 2014 and by $8 million in FY 2013, which is an indication of improvement in financial position.
− The Authority's total assets increased 10 to15% during each of the past two fiscal years, primarily due to investment in capital assets. Several large capital projects have been completed and many more are in progress.
− Total liabilities decreased by $2 million this year after increasing by $25 million in FY 2013. While new debt was issued in both years to finance capital projects, proceeds were $24 million lower this year and principal repayments exceeded proceeds.
− Wastewater revenues increased 5% this year and 8% last year primarily due to heavy wastewater flows.
− Capital grants revenue decreased by $3 million since FY 2012 due to the completion of a grant-funded project.
− Depreciation expense went up 29% this year and 21% last year due to completion of capital projects and equipment purchases, while other operating expenses have remained relatively steady.
Financial Analysis The largest portion of Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority's net position (73 percent) reflects its investment in capital assets, net of related debt outstanding that was used to acquire those assets. The Authority uses these capital assets to provide services to its customers; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although the Authority's investment in capital assets is reported net of related debt, the resources needed to repay this debt are derived from the revenue generating capability of these capital assets and not from the capital assets themselves. At the end of the past three fiscal years, the Authority has reported positive balances in all categories of net position.

Financial Analysis: (Continued) Operating revenues increased $0.4 million in FY 2014 due to high wastewater flows. There was a $1.8 million increase in FY 2013 as a result of increased rates and high wastewater flows. No grant revenues were received this year after decreasing by $2.8 million in the prior year due to the FY 2013 completion of the Moores Creek Enhanced Nutrient Removal (ENR) project which was partially funded with a Water Quality Improvement Fund state grant. Total operating expenses increased by $1.4 million this year and $.8 million in the prior year primarily due to increased depreciation. It should be noted that $1.9 million of interest payments were capitalized to the unfinished projects this year as a cost of acquisition and $1.8 million in the prior year, which reduced interest expense for both years. Key elements of these changes are explained further in the Review of Operations section.

Capital Asset and Debt Administration:
Capital Assets - The Authority's investment in capital assets net of accumulated depreciation increased 10% in the current year and 15% in the prior year as a result of costs incurred on major water and wastewater construction projects in both years. $23 million of construction costs were incurred this year and $28 million last year. $25 million of costs were capitalized as completed capital projects this year and $69 million in the prior year. There are still many capital projects in progress with accumulated costs totaling $51 million. More detailed information on the Authority’s capital assets is presented in Notes 5 and 6 of the notes to the financial statements and is addressed further under the operations discussion below.
The various categories of capital assets net of depreciation at the end of the past three fiscal years are as follows:
2014 2013 2012Land and improvements $ 10,557,573 $ 7,740,670 $ 7,740,670 Buildings and operating equipment 143,703,996 126,125,667 60,803,055 Trucks and autos 52,200 70,467 125,652 Office equipment 9,009 4,396 13,187 Construction work in progress 51,053,512 52,649,806 93,321,788
Total capital assets, net $ 205,376,290 $ 186,591,006 $ 162,004,352
Long-Term Debt - At the end of the current fiscal year, the Authority had $126 million in bonds outstanding versus $128 million last year, a $2 million decrease. This change is the net of principal repayments of $5 million and proceeds of $3 million. $29 million Revenue Bond Series 2014A was issued in March to help fund the Rivanna Interceptor and Pump Station projects. This bond is a Virginia Revolving Loan Fund debt instrument which is like a construction loan where the proceeds stay with the State until the construction costs are paid to the contractor, and $3 million has been drawn down this year. In FY 2013, there was a $23.7 million increase in debt primarily due to the October 2012 issuance of Bond Series 2012B for a total of $26.2 million in proceeds to finance the construction of the Ragged Mountain Dam and associated Mitigation projects. More detailed information regarding the Authority’s long-term debt is presented in Note 7 of the notes to the financial statements.

Review of Operations Operating revenues increased 1.4 percent or $356,000 in total in Fiscal Year 2014 mainly due to higher flows for the wastewater systems. Revenues for wastewater increased $731,000 while water revenues declined $375,000. A decline in rate revenues was expected because the rates for Urban Water charges were
decreased by the Board of Directors roughly 4 percent for FY 2014 and Urban Wastewater rates were flat or declining slightly for FY 2014. However, Urban Waste-water revenues increased due to a 9 percent increase in the volume of flow. The only other revenue item of note is that capital grant revenues ceased in FY 2013 when the project funded by the State Water Quality Improvement Fund (WQIF) grant was completed. No other projects have been funded with capital grants. The Authority has been steadily increasing rates over the years due to the aggressive capital improve-ment plan adopted by the Board of
Directors. The significant debt service impacts related to the capital program has been the single largest driver to our revenue requirements, especially for wastewater rates. FY 2014 was unique with respect to rates for several reasons. The Authority refinanced the 2001 and 2003 bonds late in FY 2012 which creates a saving in debt service payments that were fully realized in the FY 2014 budget. Additionally, some older debt had fully matured and was paid off, which was another reason the rates were able to be lowered. The rate decreases for our water customers and the flat or declining rates for wastewater charges were nonrecurring in nature. The Authority strived to keep water rates from rising the past several years. As can be seen from the table on Urban Rates below, water rates for FY 2014 were below those set in FY 2012 after several small increases for Urban Water the previous two years. Urban wastewater rates were stable after significant increases for the previous two years. Wastewater revenues were higher despite flat to decreasing rate because flows treated were higher than budget estimates.

Urban Water Flows
Urban Water flows have trended close to the five-year average. Urban Wastewater flows (below) by comparison are much more erratic from weather patterns that can significantly affect metered flows and revenues. Because of this, it is very difficult to predict the revenues and charges to our customers for Wastewater services from one year to the next.

Review of Operations: (Continued) Total expenses increased by $700,000 this year and again that was capital project driven. As shown in the next table, direct operating costs such as personnel, utilities, operating and maintenance costs were kept fairly even with FY 2013 expenses with an increase of only 3%. The most notable operating expense changes were a decrease in personnel expenses of $173,000 related to turnover and vacant positions and an increase in utility costs of $200,000 related to the very cold winter. There was also an upgrade in the digesters at the Moores Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant that caused the use of more natural gas than normal that increased utilities this year temporarily. There was an increase in the professional services cost items for general engineering and legal services this year for over $136,000. General operating costs for equipment and building maintenance increased $160,000 from the previous year.

Depreciation expense increased $1.06 million from FY 2013 because capital projects costing $93.8 million were completed and added to depreciable assets the last two years ($68.8 million in FY 2013 and $22 million in FY 2014). Interest expense decreased slightly due to the refinancing mentioned earlier, the retirement of older debt, and capitalization of interest. Cash balances have been stable for the past few years, maintaining a strong debt service coverage ratio the past several years. (See Table 8 in the Statistical Section.) Unrestricted cash balances for FY 2014 are at $34.9 million. This is a $2 million increase over FY 2013 levels. This increase is a direct result of increased revenues and lower than expected budgeted debt service payments. The Authority has been able to meet targets to increase cash reserves for rate stabilization, maintenance and capital replacement through the rate setting policies. After the drought of 2002, which occurred in FY 2003, the Authority began setting aside funds for rate stabilization to better handle wide fluctuations in flow. Rate stabilization reserves totaled $2,000,000 at June 30, 2014. This reserve was increased in FY 2014 from $1,000,000 the year before. Recognizing the increase in debt service obligations over the years, the Board of Director wisely increased the reserve to mitigate a decline in revenues should another drought or other unforeseen event that would affect revenues occur. Additionally, the Authority began setting aside funds in FY 2004 for watershed and water resources management projects related to the environmental health of the community’s watershed. These funds totaled $421,000 at the end of FY 2014. The Authority generally targets to have 60 days of working capital which is roughly $4.1 million and there is currently earmarked $14 million for capital projects. The $15 million remaining unrestricted cash would be undesignated reserves for future projects or additional rate stabilization needs. The Capital fund cash had been accumulating in previous fiscal years according to the Capital Improvement Plan; however, these past two years we have used a large portion of the capital fund to pay project costs that are not fully covered by the recently issued Revolving loan fund loan/bonds mentioned previously. The Authority has a financial goal of using 10% cash reserves to fund our total capital program. Over the last five years, the authority has used capital cash to fund roughly $14 million in projects.
19
Review of Operations: (Continued) Capital Improvements & Long-Term Trends The Authority generally updates the five-year projection of our Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) annually. The following estimates from the CIP adopted in January 2014 are broken out by fiscal year:
2014 $ 63,802,922 Capital Budget2015 37,186,084 CIP estimate2016 27,525,353 CIP estimate2017 9,733,000 CIP estimate2018 13,790,003 CIP estimate
$ 152,037,362 Total 5 year plan
$ 29,162,000 In progress and paid
$ 122,875,362 Future capital spending
Currently Adopted CIP
The fiscal challenges placed on the Authority with such an aggressive CIP have prompted management to target funding a portion of these capital costs with cash reserves. The total five-year CIP is estimated at $152 million in capital needs through the year 2018. About 20 percent of that is under construction and paid for. Of the $123 million left to be completed, the Authority has roughly $20 million in available bond proceeds on hand and is targeting $17.3 million in cash reserves as funding sources. This would leave the remaining CIP to be funded with $85.7 million in additional debt. The follow table shows the changes in the CIP adopted in January 2014 compared to the previously adopted capital plan:
2013-2017 $ 156,325,199 Previously adopted CIP (22,923,130) Budgets for completed projects18,635,293 New project budgets added
2014-2018 $ 152,037,362 Current CIP
Changes in CIP
Several years ago, the RWSA Board of Directors identified an important need to renew the community's sewer transmission system, and initiated goals that have already brought successful results in support of our environment and will continue to through an ambitious capital improvement plan over the next five years and beyond. With the support of the City of Charlottesville Utilities Division and the ACSA, a comprehensive study was undertaken that metered dry weather and wet weather flows in the sewer system over an extended period, and then used the data to develop a computer model from which both present and future needs can be forecasted. That information, plus a significant goal developed among the three agencies to reduce rainwater inflow and infiltration into the sewer system by 25% by 2020, led to a comprehensive master plan. All of that work was developed based on local initiative; a local desire by the three agencies to reverse years of declining infrastructure. During this time, The State Department of Environmental Quality took interest for various reasons in the problems of sanitary sewer overflows within the system. Working with the City, ACSA and Rivanna, the DEQ incorporated into a consent order the master plan to address this problem; thereby making the master plan mandatory.
20
Review of Operations: (Continued) Currently, most of the projects identified within the consent order have been completed. The largest remaining renewal and replacement project for the sewer system is the replacement of the Rivanna Pump Station. Over $26 million in contracts have been awarded for this project during the year. The current facility is undersized and sits adjacent to the Woolen Mills neighborhood and a public Riverview Park. This facility will be decommissioned with a force main traveling beneath a section of the residences in the neighborhood and a railroad right of way and will terminate on the existing site of the Moores Creek Advance Wastewater Treatment Plant. The termination point will be a newly constructed pump station designed to manage a peaking flow of 53 million gallons per day (mgd).
New Ragged Mountain Dam
One of the largest and most publicly scrutinized capital projects is the future increase to water supply better known as the Community Water Supply project. With support from the City, County and ACSA, Rivanna obtained a permit to expand the Ragged Mountain Reservoir, replace the existing dam, and construct a new pipeline between the new reservoir and the South Fork Rivanna Reservoir. This plan will supply the community with the raw water it needs for the next 55 years. The dam portion of this project is now near completion. The State has given their approval to start filling the new dam, which will take several years. This project represents over 15 years of planning, debate and execution which took only two years to construct from the issuance of the notice to proceed in April 2012.
21
Review of Operations: (Continued) Despite the significant infrastructure needs identified in the CIP, the Authority is positioned to provide for these needs by using more cash up front for projects and having a debt and rate structure that will accommodate more debt in the future. The Authority has been slowly but consistently implementing rate increases to pay for such infrastructure needs in 5 year increments. As shown in the following graph, which represents debt service payments on existing debt, the Authority has a fairly consistent to a declining debt structure for the next 17 years with large declines thereafter. Additionally, the rates are currently programmed to generate $12.1 million annually in debt service revenues; however, the water and wastewater capital needs will require additional rate increases in the future to maintain solid cash positions and future debt service needs.

RIVANNA WATER & SEWER AUTHORITY
Notes to the Financial Statements At June 30, 2014 and 2013
Note 1−Formation of the Rivanna Water & Sewer Authority:
In the interest of efficient water quality management for the upper Rivanna River Basin, the Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority was formed on June 7, 1972 as a joint venture of the City of Charlottesville, the Albemarle County Service Authority, and the County of Albemarle, pursuant to the Virginia Water and Waste Authorities Act (1950 as amended). The Authority is responsible for acquiring, financing, constructing and maintaining facilities for the improvement, treatment, storage and transmission of potable water, and for the interception, treatment and discharge of wastewater for the City and County. The Authority operates under the terms of a Service Agreement among the Authority, the Albemarle County Service Authority, the City of Charlottesville, and the County of Albemarle which was signed June 12, 1973.
Financial Reporting Entity
The Rivanna Water & Sewer Authority was established according to the Agreement mentioned above for the purposes stated. The participating entities are City of Charlottesville, County of Albemarle, and Albemarle County Service Authority. The City of Charlottesville and the Albemarle County Service Authority have an ongoing financial responsibility to the Authority because a covenant to pay the Authority’s rates and charges is included in the operating agreement.
The Authority’s governing body is comprised of three members appointed by the County, three members appointed by the City, and one member who is jointly appointed by the City and County. Therefore, none of the participants appoints a voting majority of board members.
The Authority is perpetual. No participating government has access to its resources or surpluses, nor is any participant liable for the Authority’s debts or deficits. The Authority also has the ability to finance its capital projects through user charges or the sale of revenue bonds.
Based on the above representations, the Rivanna Water & Sewer Authority has been determined to be a joint venture of the City of Charlottesville, County of Albemarle and Albemarle County Service Authority. The Authority is not a component unit of any of the participating governments. There are no component units to be included within the Authority’s financial statements.
For purposes of reporting entity disclosure, it should be noted that a separate entity, the Rivanna Solid Waste Authority, provides garbage and refuse transfer and disposal services to the City of Charlottesville and Albemarle County. Although certain administrative employees provide services to both Authorities, each Authority is operationally and legally independent. Note 2−Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: A. Basis of Accounting
Rivanna Water & Sewer Authority operates as an enterprise fund, uses the flow of economic resources measurement focus and its accounts are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting. Under this method, revenues are recognized when earned, and expenses are recorded as liabilities when incurred, without regard to receipt or payment of cash. The Authority accrues revenue for services rendered but not yet billed at the end of the fiscal year. The Authority accounts have been audited by an independent firm annually since its founding in accordance with the requirements of the Service Agreement, dated June 12, 1973, among the Authority, the City of Charlottesville, Albemarle County, and Albemarle County Service Authority.

RIVANNA WATER & SEWER AUTHORITY Notes to the Financial Statements At June 30, 2014 and 2013 (Continued)
Note 2−Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: (Continued)
A. Basis of Accounting (Continued) The Authority distinguishes operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with the Authority’s principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the Authority are charges to customers for sales and services. Operating expenses include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses.
B. Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are stated at book value utilizing the direct write-off method for immaterial uncollectible accounts.
C. Basic Financial Statements
Since the Authority is only engaged in business-type activities, it is required to present only the financial statements required for enterprise funds. For the Authority, the basic financial statements and required supplementary information consist of:
• Management’s discussion and analysis • Enterprise fund financial statements
– Statement of Net Position
– Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Position
– Statement of Cash Flows
– Notes to the Financial Statements
• Required Supplementary Information
– Schedule of Pension Funding Progress – Schedule of OPEB Funding Progress
D. Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, and infrastructure assets (e.g., roads, bridges, sidewalks, and similar items), are reported in the financial statements. Capital assets are defined by the Authority as assets with an initial, individual cost of more than $5,000 (amount not rounded) and an estimated useful life in excess of one year. Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets are recorded at estimated fair market value at the date of donation.

RIVANNA WATER & SEWER AUTHORITY Notes to the Financial Statements At June 30, 2014 and 2013 (Continued)
Note 2−Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: (Continued) D. Capital Assets: (Continued)
The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend its useful life are not capitalized. Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed. Interest incurred during the construction phase of capital assets of business-type activities is included as part of the capitalized value of the assets constructed. The Authority capitalized interest in the amount of $1,950,250 and $1,750,872 for the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Property, plant, equipment and infrastructure are depreciated using the straight line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Assets Years
Buildings & operating equipment 5 to 50Trucks & autos 5 to 10Office equipment 5 to 10Data processing equipment 5
E. Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Authority's cash and cash equivalents consist of demand deposits, certificates of deposit, short-term U.S. Governmental obligations, and other investments with an original maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition, all of which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash.
F. Investments Investments are reported at fair value.
G. Budgets and Budgetary Accounting
A budget is prepared for information, fiscal planning purposes, and to provide the basis for setting wholesale rates, in accordance with the requirements of the Service Agreement, dated June 12, 1973, among the Authority, the City of Charlottesville, Albemarle County, and the Albemarle County Service Authority. Rates charged by the six rate centers are not subjected to regulatory scrutiny but may be changed at any time by the Authority's Board of Directors, if necessary, in order to adjust revenues. None of the participating entities are required to approve the budget. The budget is adopted as a planning document and is not a legal control on expenses.

Note 2−Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: (Continued)
G. Budgets and Budgetary Accounting (Continued) The budgets are adopted on an appropriation basis. Principally, the appropriation basis of budgeting provides for a full accrual basis of accounting, capital expenditures, and bond principal payments and partially provides for depreciation of utility plant and amortization.
H. Inventory
Consumption of materials and supplies is recorded as an expense when used. No inventory amounts are recorded as an asset, as available inventories are not significant.
I. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
J. Net Position Net position is the difference between assets and deferred outflows of resources and liabilities and deferred inflows of resources. Net investment in capital assets represents capital assets, reduced by accumulated depreciation and by any outstanding debt, deferred outflows of resources and increased by deferred inflows of resources related to the acquisition, construction or improvement of those assets. Restricted net position represents restricted assets reduced by liabilities and deferred inflows of resources related to those assets. The balance in the replacement reserve is presented as restricted net position.
K. Restricted Assets
Certain proceeds of the Authority’s revenue bonds and certain resources set aside for their repayment are classified as restricted assets on the statement of net position, because they are maintained in separate bank accounts, and their use is limited by applicable bond covenants. The “revenue bond general operating reserve” is used to report resources set aside to subsidize potential deficiencies from the Authority’s operation that could adversely affect debt service payments. The “revenue bond payment account” is used to segregate resources accumulated for debt service payments over the next twelve months. The “debt service reserve” is used to report resources set aside to make up potential future deficiencies in the revenue bond payment account. The “repair and replacement reserve” is used to report resources set aside to meet unexpected contingencies or to fund asset renewals and replacements.

Note 2−Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: (Continued)
L. Long-Term Obligations
Bond premiums and discounts are amortized over the life of the bonds. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond premium or discount. Bond issuance costs are expensed as incurred.
M. Reclassification Certain amounts in previously issued financial statements have been restated to conform to the current year’s classifications.
N. Deferred Inflows and Outflows of Resources 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 future periods and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until then. The Authority does not have any deferred inflows of resources as of June 30, 2014. 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 future periods and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until then. The Authority only has one item that qualifies for reporting in this category. It is the deferred charge on refunding which results from the difference in the carrying value of refunded debt and its reacquisition price. This amount is deferred and amortized over the shorter of the life of the refunded or refunding debt.
O. Net Position Flow Assumption Sometimes the Authority will fund outlays for a particular purpose from both restricted (e.g., restricted bond or grant proceeds) and unrestricted resources. In order to calculate the amounts to report as restricted net position and unrestricted net position in the financial statements, a flow assumption must be made about the order in which the resources are considered to be applied. It is the Authority’s policy to consider restricted net position to have been depleted before unrestricted net position is applied.
Note 3−Acquisition of Water and Wastewater Facilities: Under the terms of the Service Agreement (See Note 1), the Authority agreed to purchase certain water production, transmission and storage facilities and wastewater interception and treatment facilities from the City and the Albemarle County Service Authority. The agreement provides that the sale be consummated ten years from the date of the agreement or at such later time as the debts, if any, attributed to each such facility have been paid or provision is made for their payment, and that the Authority will lease the facility until such time as the sale is consummated. The purchase price is the fair value of the facilities as of June 12, 1973, as determined by all payments paid by the Authority during the term of lease applicable to the principal retired on the debt of such facilities. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the aforementioned agreement has been treated as an installment purchase of the facilities, with the purchase price being discounted at an annual rate of 6% for ten years.

Total payments $ 6,354,634 $ 4,531,948
Contracts payable, June 30, 2014 $ - $ -
The total annual rental payments over the initial ten year agreement were not sufficient to retire the contracts payable to the Albemarle County Service Authority. The deferred interest was amortized over the initial ten year period of the agreement and was fully amortized as of June 30, 1983. Depreciation has been based upon the engineer’s estimates of useful lives remaining as of the valuation date (June 12, 1973). Depreciation expense on these facilities amounted to $79,399 and $79,427 for the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Note 4−Deposits and Investments: Deposits Deposits with banks are covered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and collateralized in accordance with the Virginia Security for Public Deposits Act (the “Act”) Section 2.2-4400 et. seq. of the Code of Virginia. Under the Act, banks and savings institutions holding public deposits in excess of the amount insured by the FDIC must pledge collateral to the Commonwealth of Virginia Treasury Board. Financial Institutions may choose between two collateralization methodologies and depending upon that choice, will pledge collateral that ranges in the amounts from 50% to 130% of excess deposits. Accordingly, all deposits are considered fully collateralized. Investments Statutes authorize the Authority to invest in obligations of the United States or agencies thereof, obligations of the Commonwealth of Virginia or political subdivisions thereof, obligations of the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (World Bank), the Asian Development Bank, the African Development Bank, “prime quality” commercial paper and certain corporate notes, banker’s acceptances, repurchase agreements and the State Treasurer’s Local Government Investment Pool (LGIP). The Authority does not have a formal investment policy that addresses credit risk or interest rate risk. Credit Risk of Debt Securities The Authority’s rated debt investments as of June 30, 2014 were rated by Standard & Poor’s and the ratings are presented below using Standard & Poor’s rating scale.

External Investment Pools
The fair value of the positions in the external investment pool (Local Government Investment Pool) is the same as the value of the pool shares. As these pools are not SEC registered, regulatory oversight of the pool rests with the Virginia State Treasury. Local Government Investment Pool maintains a policy to operate in a manner consistent with SEC Rule 2a-7.

Note 9−Pension Plan: A. Plan Description
Name of Plan: Virginia Retirement System (VRS) Identification of Plan: Agent and Cost-Sharing Multiple-Employer Pension Plan Administering Entity: Virginia Retirement System (System)
All full-time, salaried permanent (professional) employees of public school divisions and employees of participating employers are automatically covered by VRS upon employment. Members earn one month of service credit for each month they are employed and they and their employer are paying contributions to VRS. Members are eligible to purchase prior public service, active duty military service, certain periods of leave and previously refunded VRS service as service credit in their plan.
Within the VRS Plan, the System administers three different benefit plans for local government employees – Plan 1, Plan 2, and, Hybrid. Each plan has a different eligibility and benefit structure as set out below:
VRS − PLAN 1
1. Plan Overview - VRS Plan 1 is a defined benefit plan. The retirement benefit is based on a member’s
age, creditable service and average final compensation at retirement using a formula. Employees are eligible for VRS Plan 1 if their membership date is before July 1, 2010, and they were vested as of January 1, 2013.
2. Eligible Members - Employees are in VRS Plan 1 if their membership date is before July 1, 2010, and
they were vested as of January 1, 2013.
3. Hybrid Opt-In Election - VRS non-hazardous duty covered Plan 1 members were allowed to make an irrevocable decision to opt into the Hybrid Retirement Plan during a special election window held January 1 through April 30, 2014.
The Hybrid Retirement Plan’s effective date for eligible VRS Plan 1 members who opted in was July 1, 2014.
If eligible deferred members returned to work during the election window, they were also eligible to opt into the Hybrid Retirement Plan.
Members who were eligible for an optional retirement plan (ORP) and had prior service under VRS Plan 1 were not eligible to elect the Hybrid Retirement Plan and remain as VRS Plan 1 or ORP.
4. Retirement Contributions - Members contribute up to 5% of their compensation each month to their
member contribution account through a pre-tax salary reduction. Some school divisions and political subdivisions elected to phase in the required 5% member contribution; all employees will be paying the full 5% by July 1, 2016. Member contributions are tax-deferred until they are withdrawn as part of a retirement benefit or as a refund. The employer makes a separate actuarially determined contribution to VRS for all covered employees. VRS invests both member and employer contributions to provide funding for the future benefit payment.

Note 9−Pension Plan: (Continued) A. Plan Description (Continued)
VRS − PLAN 1 (CONTINUED) 5. Creditable Service - Creditable service includes active service. Members earn creditable service for
each month they are employed in a covered position. It also may include credit for prior service the member has purchased or additional creditable service the member was granted. A member’s total creditable service is one of the factors used to determine their eligibility for retirement and to calculate their retirement benefit. It also may count toward eligibility for the health insurance credit in retirement, if the employer offers the health insurance credit.
6. Vesting - Vesting is the minimum length of service a member needs to qualify for a future retirement
benefit. Members become vested when they have at least five years (60 months) of creditable service. Vesting means members are eligible to qualify for retirement if they meet the age and service requirements for their plan. Members also must be vested to receive a full refund of their member contribution account balance if they leave employment and request a refund.
Members are always 100% vested in the contributions that they make.
7. Calculating the Benefit - The Basic Benefit is calculated based on a formula using the member’s
average final compensation, a retirement multiplier and total service credit at retirement. It is one of the benefit payout options available to a member at retirement.
An early retirement reduction factor is applied to the Basic Benefit if the member retires with a reduced retirement benefit or selects a benefit payout option other than the Basic Benefit.
8. Average Final Compensation - A member’s average final compensation is the average of the 36
consecutive months of highest compensation as a covered employee. 9. Service Retirement Multiplier - The retirement multiplier is a factor used in the formula to determine
a final retirement benefit. The retirement multiplier for non-hazardous duty members is 1.7%. The retirement multiplier for sheriffs and regional jail superintendents is 1.85%. The retirement multiplier of eligible political subdivision hazardous duty employees other than sheriffs and regional jail superintendents is 1.7% or 1.85% as elected by the employer.
10. Normal Retirement Age - Age 65. 11. Earliest Unreduced Retirement Eligibility - Members who are not in hazardous duty positions are
eligible for an unreduced retirement benefit at age 65 with at least five years (60 months) of creditable service or at age 50 with at least 30 years of creditable service.
Hazardous duty members are eligible for an unreduced retirement benefit at age 60 with at least five years of creditable service or age 50 with at least 25 years of creditable service.
12. Earliest Reduced Retirement Eligibility - Members may retire with a reduced benefit as early as age
55 with at least five years (60 months) of creditable service or age 50 with at least 10 years of creditable service.

16. Disability Coverage – For members who are eligible to be considered for disability retirement and
retire on disability, the retirement multiplier is 1.7% on all service, regardless of when it was earned, purchased or granted.

It also may include credit for prior service the member has purchased or additional creditable service the member was granted. A member’s total creditable service is one of the factors used to determine their eligibility for retirement and to calculate their retirement benefit. It also may count toward eligibility for the health insurance credit in retirement, if the employer offers the health insurance credit.
Defined Contribution Component - Under the defined contribution component, creditable service is used to determine vesting for the employer contribution portion of the plan.
6. Vesting
Defined Benefit Component - Defined benefit vesting is the minimum length of service a member needs to qualify for a future retirement benefit. Members are vested under the defined benefit component of the Hybrid Retirement Plan when they reach five years (60 months) of creditable service. VRS Plan 1 or VRS Plan 2 members with at least five years (60 months) of creditable service who opted into the Hybrid Retirement Plan remain vested in the defined benefit component.
Defined Contribution Component - Defined contribution vesting refers to the minimum length of service a member needs to be eligible to withdraw the employer contributions from the defined contribution component of the plan.
Members are always 100% vested in the contributions that they make.

RIVANNA WATER & SEWER AUTHORITY Notes to the Financial Statements At June 30, 2014 and 2013 (Continued)
Note 9−Pension Plan: (Continued) B. Funding Policy
Plan members are required by Title 51.1 of the Code of Virginia (1950), as amended, to contribute 5.00% of their compensation toward their retirement. All or part of the 5.00% member contribution may be assumed by the employer. Beginning July 1, 2012 new employees were required to pay the 5% member contribution. In addition, for existing employees, employers were required to begin making the employee pay the 5% member contribution. This could be phased in over a period up to 5 years and the employer is required to provide a salary increase equal to the amount of the increase in the employee-paid member contribution. In addition, the Authority is required to contribute the remaining amounts necessary to fund its participation in the VRS using the actuarial basis specified by the Code of Virginia and approved by the VRS Board of Trustees. The Authority’s contribution rate for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014 was 10.48% of the annual covered payroll.
C. Annual Pension Cost
For fiscal year 2014, the Authority’s annual pension cost of $428,317 for VRS was equal to the required and actual contributions.
Fiscal Year Annual Pension Cost Percentage of APC Net PensionEnding (APC) Contributed Obligation
June 30, 2014 $ 428,317 100% $ - June 30, 2013 426,490 100% - June 30, 2012 308,088 100% -
Three-Year Trend Information forRivanna Water & Sewer Authority
The fiscal year 2014 required contribution was determined as part of the June 30, 2011 actuarial valuation using the entry age actuarial cost method. The actuarial assumptions at June 30, 2011 included (a) an investment rate of return (net of administrative expenses) of 7.00%, (b) projected salary increases ranging from 3.75% to 5.6% per year for local general government employees, and (c) a cost-of-living adjustment of 2.50% per year for Plan 1 employees and 2.25% for Plan 2 employees. Both the investment rate of return and the projected salary increases include an inflation component of 2.50%. The actuarial value of the Authority’s assets is equal to the modified market value of assets. This method uses techniques that smooth the effects of short-term volatility in the market value of assets over a five-year period. The Authority’s unfunded actuarial accrued liability is being amortized as a level percentage of projected payroll on a closed basis. The remaining amortization period at June 30, 2013 for the Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability (UAAL) was 30 years.
D. Funded Status and Funding Progress
As of June 30, 2013, the most recent actuarial valuation date, the Authority’s plan was 74.81% funded. The actuarial accrued liability for benefits was $18,141,668, and the actuarial value of assets was $13,572,160, resulting in an unfunded actuarial accrued liability (UAAL) of $4,569,508. The covered payroll (annual payroll of active employees covered by the plan) was $4,109,405 and ratio of the UAAL to the covered payroll was 111.20%.

D. Funded Status and Funding Progress (Continued)
The schedule of funding progress, presented as Required Supplementary Information (RSI) following the notes to the financial statements, presents multiyear trend information about whether the actuarial value of plan assets is increasing or decreasing over time relative to the actuarial accrued liability (AAL) for benefits.
Note 10−Risk Management:
The Authority is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to and destruction of assets; errors and omissions; injuries to employees; and natural disasters. The Authority joined together with other local governments in the Commonwealth to form the Virginia Municipal Group Self Insurance Association, a public entity risk pool currently operating as a common risk management and insurance program for member governments. The Authority pays an annual premium to the pool for its workers compensation coverage. For property and liability insurance the Authority joined together with other local governments in the State to form the Virginia Association of Counties Group Self-Insurance Pool, a public entity risk pool. The Agreements for Formation of the associations provide that the associations will be self-sustaining through member premiums. Settled claims have not exceeded pool coverage in any of the past three fiscal years.
Note 11−Other Postemployment Benefits−Health Insurance:
Background
In fiscal year 2009 the Authority implemented Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 45 for other postemployment benefits (OPEB) offered to retirees. This standard addresses how governmental reporting entities should account for and report their costs related to postemployment healthcare and non-pension benefits, such as the Authority’s retiree health benefit. Historically, the Authority’s subsidy was funded on a pay-as-you-go basis, but GASB Statement No. 45 requires that the Authority accrue the cost of the retiree health subsidy and other postemployment benefits during the period of the employees’ active employment, while the benefits are being earned, and disclose the unfunded actuarial accrued liability in order to accurately account for the total future cost of postemployment benefits and the financial impact on the Authority. This funding methodology mirrors the funding approach used for pension benefits.
Plan Description
In addition to the pension benefits described in Note 9, the Authority previously provided post-retirement healthcare benefits for employees who were eligible under a single-employer defined benefit plan. The Plan and benefits have been terminated except for a closed group of retirees, who will continue to receive benefits under the previous plan policy. The Authority permitted retirees to participate and purchase medical benefits under the Authority’s existing plan for current employees. Retirees were responsible for the entire cost of the benefits. Benefits were available for a period of five years or until age 65, whichever came first. The OPEB Plan does not issue separate audited financial statements.
Eligible employees must have met the age and service criteria for unreduced retirement benefits from VRS and been covered by the Authority’s group health plan for active employees at retirement or been eligible for reduced retirement benefits at age 50 and employed by the Authority in a benefits-eligible position for 10 years.
57
RIVANNA WATER & SEWER AUTHORITY Notes to the Financial Statements At June 30, 2014 and 2013 (Continued)
Note 11−Other Postemployment Benefits−Health Insurance: (Continued) Funding Policy The retirees pay and participate in the same plan for medical benefits as current employees creating an implicit rate subsidy liability for the Authority. The Authority determines how the liability will be funded each year, whether it will partially or fully fund the liability. Eligibility under the plan ceases when retirees reach the age of 65. Participating dependents are also entitled to continue coverage under the plan after the death of the retiree.
Annual Required Contribution (ARC) The annual cost of other postemployment benefits (OPEB) under GASB 45 is called the annual required contribution or ARC. Based on an actuarial valuation dated July 1, 2013, the estimated pay-as-you-go cost for OPEB benefits is ($114,000) for fiscal year 2014. The Authority has paid an estimated $31,000 towards this obligation during the fiscal year. The Authority is required to contribute the annual required contribution of the employer (ARC), an amount actuarially determined in accordance within the parameters of GASB Statement 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) over a period of three years.
Annual OPEB Cost and Net OPEB Obligation The estimated contributions are based on projected medical premium payments and credit for the implicit rate subsidy made during the year for the retirees by the Authority. The following table depicts the components of the Authority’s annual OPEB cost for the year, the estimated annual contributions to the plan and changes in the Authority’s net OPEB obligation.
Annual required contribution $ 42,000 Interest on net OPEB obligation 20,000 Adjustment to annual required contribution (176,000)
Annual OPEB cost (expense) $ (114,000) Contributions made (31,000)
Decrease in net OPEB obligation $ (145,000)
Net OPEB obligation, beginning of year 502,406
Net OPEB obligation, end of year $ 357,406
For fiscal year 2014, the Authority’s expected cash payment of $31,000 was more than the OPEB cost (the Plan was terminated). The Authority’s annual OPEB cost, the percentage of annual OPEB cost contributed to the plan, and the net OPEB obligation for 2014, and the preceding two years are as follows:
Fiscal Annual Percentage of NetYear OPEB Annual OPEB OPEB

RIVANNA WATER & SEWER AUTHORITY Notes to the Financial Statements At June 30, 2014 and 2013 (Continued)
Note 11−Other Postemployment Benefits−Health Insurance: (Continued) Funded Status and Funding Progress The funded status of the plan as of July 1, 2013, the most recent actuarial valuation date, was as follows:
Actuarial accrued liability (AAL) $ 119,000 Actuarial value of plan assets - Unfunded actuarial accrued liability $ 119,000 Funded ratio (actuarial value of plan assets / AAL) 0%Covered payroll (active plan members) $ n/aUAAL as a percentage of covered payroll n/a
The required schedule of funding progress for the other postemployment benefits plan, presented as Required Supplementary Information immediately following the notes to the financial statements, presents multi-year trend information about whether the actuarial value of plan assets is increasing or decreasing over time relative to the actuarial accrued liability for benefits. 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 the plan members) and include the type 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 accrued liabilities and the actuarial value of assets, consistent with the long-term perspective of the calculations. Actuarial valuations of an 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.
Cost Method The projected unit credit cost method was used to determine the plan’s funding liabilities with costs prorated to the date of benefit commencement. The valuation of the liabilities is based on a closed group of retirees only. Under the projected unit credit method the liability is projected from the date of the actuarial valuation to the expected end date of benefits. The liability is computed by measuring each unit of benefit during the period of obligation.
Assumptions
Interest/Discount rate (unfunded) 4.00%Inflation rate 2.80%Amortization period 3 years - level percentage of projected payroll on a closed basisHealthcare cost trend rate 6.40% - 4.30%Payroll growth rate 3.00%

Note 12−Related Parties: Rivanna Solid Waste Authority (RSWA) and Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority (RWSA) share common office space and administrative staff. Procedures are in place to ensure proper segregation of funds, purchasing activity, personnel and similar matters. RSWA pays RWSA monthly for its share of joint administrative expenses, which totaled $257,000 in FY 2014 and FY 2013 and for leachate acceptance and treatment of $1,322 in FY 2014 and $1,415 in FY 2013. Rivanna Solid Waste Authority billed Rivanna Water & Sewer Authority $63,258 for hauling and tipping fees in FY 2014 and $85,913 in the previous year. RSWA owed RWSA $21,591 and $15,320 at June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Note 13−Construction Commitments: Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority had the following significant construction contract commitments for capital projects as of June 30, 2014:
Paid to RemainingProject Date Commitment
Ragged Mountain Dam Construction $ 21,915,709 $ 3,300,023 Rivanna Pump Station and Tunnel 1,305,391 23,925,736 Digester Heating and Mixing Upgrade 5,281,629 553,237 Partial Transite Pipe Replacement - 1,518,817
These contracts give the Authority the right to terminate the contract for any reason. Note 14−Pending GASB Statements: The Governmental Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement No. 68, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions; an amendment of GASB Statement No. 27. This Statement replaces the requirements of Statements No. 27 and No. 50 related to pension plans that are administered through trusts or equivalent arrangements. The requirements of Statements No. 27 and No. 50 remain applicable for pensions that are not administered as trusts or equivalent arrangements. The requirements of this Statement are effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2014. The Authority believes the implementation of Statement No. 68 will significantly impact the Authority’s net position; however, no formal study or estimate of the impact of this standard has been performed.

Independent Auditors’ Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting and on
Compliance and Other Matters Based on an Audit of Financial Statements Performed in Accordance with Government Auditing Standards
To the Board of Directors Rivanna Water & Sewer Authority Charlottesville, Virginia We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and the Specifications for Audits of Authorities, Boards, and Commissions, issued by the Auditor of Public Accounts of the Commonwealth of Virginia, the financial statements of the business-type activities of Rivanna Water & Sewer Authority as of and for the year ended June 30, 2014, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the Rivanna Water & Sewer Authority’s basic financial statements and have issued our report thereon dated October 6, 2014. Internal Control over Financial Reporting In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered Rivanna Water & Sewer Authority’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Rivanna Water & Sewer Authority’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of Rivanna Water & Sewer Authority’s internal control. A deficiency in internal control 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 and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance. Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or, significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.
83
Compliance and Other Matters As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether Rivanna Water & Sewer Authority’s financial statements are free from 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 or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards. Purpose of this Report The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose. Charlottesville, Virginia October 6, 2014

Independent Auditors’ Report on Compliance for Each Major Program and on Internal Control over Compliance Required by OMB Circular A-133
To the Board of Directors Rivanna Water & Sewer Authority Charlottesville, Virginia Report on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program We have audited Rivanna Water & Sewer Authority’s compliance with the types of compliance requirements described in the OMB Circular A-133 Compliance Supplement that could have a direct and material effect on each of Rivanna Water & Sewer Authority’s major federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2014. Rivanna Water & Sewer Authority’s major federal programs are identified in the summary of auditors’ results section of the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs. Management’s Responsibility Management is responsible for compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts, and grants applicable to its federal programs. Auditors’ Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on compliance for each of Rivanna Water & Sewer Authority’s major federal programs based on our audit of the types of compliance requirements referred to above. 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 in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; 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 Rivanna Water & Sewer Authority’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 on compliance for each major federal program. However, our audit does not provide a legal determination of Rivanna Water & Sewer Authority’s compliance. Opinion on Each Major Federal Program In our opinion, Rivanna Water & Sewer Authority complied, in all material respects, with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2014.
85
Report on Internal Control over Compliance Management of Rivanna Water & Sewer Authority is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over compliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above. In planning and performing our audit of compliance, we considered Rivanna Water & Sewer Authority’s internal control over compliance with the types of requirements that could have a direct and material effect on each major federal program to determine the auditing procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing an opinion on compliance for each major federal program and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with OMB Circular A-133, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of Rivanna Water & Sewer Authority’s internal control over compliance. A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program that is less severe than a material weakness in internal control over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance. Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified. The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements of OMB Circular A-133. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other purpose. Charlottesville, Virginia October 6, 2014
