Explanation of significant cost of service variances<br />
The net cost of service for water supply is $0.8 million less than<br />
plan. This is due to less planning and asset management work in<br />
the year as resources were diverted to other activities ($0.5 million),<br />
lower depreciation costs ($0.4 million), lower maintenance costs<br />
($0.3 million) offset by additional internal charges ($0.1 million).<br />
There was $0.3 million less revenue from excess water charges.<br />
In <strong>2010</strong> there was $0.4 million loss on asset disposal, compared to<br />
zero in the previous year.<br />
Capital revenues were $0.4 million below plan the main variances<br />
being a $0.7 million shortfall in development contributions offset<br />
by $0.2 million of additional revenue from new connections to the<br />
water network.<br />
Significant capital expenditure<br />
$10 million was spent on renewals and replacements of headworks<br />
and water mains across the water supply network. Of the balance<br />
$0.5 million was spent on Bridle Path new mains, $0.2 million on<br />
a Ferrymead Booster Station and $0.3 million on the Cashmere<br />
Reservoir project, to provide for increased demand in the network<br />
with $0.8 million spent on new connections to the network.<br />
Explanation of significant capital expenditure variances<br />
There was no significant variance in capital expenditure.
