§ 3.11.010. Policy statement.  


Latest version.
  • This policy documents the goals of the Cucamonga Valley Water District ("District") for the use of debt instruments and provides guidelines for the use of debt for financing District water, sewer and recycled water infrastructure and project needs. The District's overriding goal in issuing debt is to respond to and provide for its infrastructure, capital project and other financing needs while ensuring that debt is issued and managed prudently in order to maintain a sound fiscal position and protect credit quality. The District issues debt instruments, administers District held debt proceeds and makes debt service payments, acting with prudence, diligence and attention to prevailing economic conditions.

    The District will pay for all infrastructure, projects, and other financing needs from a combination of current revenues, available reserves, if any, and prudently issued debt. The District believes that debt can provide an equitable means of financing projects for its customers and provide access to new capital needed for infrastructure and project needs. Debt will be used to meet financing needs: (i) if it meets the goals of equitable treatment of all customers, both current and future; (ii) if it is the most cost-effective means available; (iii) if it is fiscally prudent, responsible, and diligent under the prevailing economic conditions; and (iv) if there are other important policy reasons therefor. The District will not issue debt without the approval of the Board of Directors ("Board").
