What has SLVWD done to generate revenue from other sources?
SLVWD’s non-rate-generated revenue comes primarily from property taxes and state grants. SLVWD hired a consultant in 2022 to assist with grant writing, and this investment paid off many times over. All told, SLVWD received over $10 million in grant funding in the past three years. SLVWD has also pursued new avenues for collecting money owed by delinquent account holders. In addition, SLVWD looked into selling some of its surplus property, but it did not identify any good opportunities likely to yield significant revenue.
