Lake Elizabeth Mutual Water Co. The Annual Assessment – What is it? We get calls from shareholders about Mutual water companies And public water companies concerning assessments. The Corporations Code for Mutual water companies states that “Any corporation organized for or engaged in the business of selling, distributing, supplying or delivering water for irrigation or domestic use, and not a public utility, may levy assessments upon its shares”. Also, Barclay’s California Code and Regulations state, “A proviso (By-laws) directing the board of directors to establish a rate which will result in the accumulation and maintenance of a fund for the repair and replacement of the water supply, distribution and fire protection system...Unimproved lots included within the area to be served must bear a proportionate share of the cost of repair and replacement of the water supply, distribution and fire protection system, as well as a proportionate share of the cost of maintaining the repair and replacement fund”. Publicly owned systems receive 60% of their financing needs from tax-exempt bond markets, whereas Mutual systems rely primarily (40-50%) on retained earning or on the revenues that user charges raise after operating taxes have been subtracted. This reflects the higher cost Mutual face in raising capital
