What is an enterprise fund?

An Enterprise Fund supports expenses through the revenues generated by providing the service, like a private business enterprise. The cost of providing water and sewer services to utility customers is recovered or financed through charges to the users of these services. Although this fund operates like a private business enterprise, there is one key difference - it does not generate any profits. All revenue received goes to pay expenses. Balances in any account are utilized to meet current or future financial requirements.
