• Pure Water Monterey Water Sales revenue was $2,076,685, or 84.5% of the budget for the period. This is water sales revenue for water purchased from Monterey One Water and sold to California American Water and is a pass-through to the District.
• Connection Charge revenues were $147,689, or 147.7% of the budget for the period. Actual collection was higher than anticipated budgeted figure as the forecasted figures are based on estimated number of customers pulling permits.

• Reimbursements of $108,207 or 23.7% of the budget. This is based on actual spending and collection of reimbursement project funds. This is due to projects being deferred and continued to next quarter.
• Grant revenue of $0, or 0% of the budget. This is due to grant funded projects being deferred and continued to next quarter.
