To The District Chairman And Members Of The Board Of The Water Utilities Community
Facilities District
Honorable Chairman and Board Members:
We are pleased to submit to you the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) of the
Water Utilities Community Facilities District (City of Apache Junction, Arizona) [hereinafter
referred to as the District], for the year ended June 30, 2007. This is the seventh year that the
District has prepared a CAFR.
Although the auditors have stated an opinion attesting to the fairness of the financial
statements, it cannot be emphasized strongly enough that the responsibility for both the
accuracy of the information, and the completeness and fairness of the information,
including all disclosures, belongs to the District's management. To provide a reasonable
basis for making these representations, management has established a comprehensive internal
control framework to protect the District's assets from loss, theft and misuse, and to compile
sufficient, reliable financial and bUdgetary information. Because the cost of internal controls
should not outweigh the benefits, the objective is to provide reasonable, rather than absolute,
assurance that the financial statements are free of material misstatement. To the best of our
knowledge and belief, this report is complete and accurate, in all material respects.
Arizona Revised Statutes require that, each year, all cities, including the City of Apache
Junction, undergo an audit by a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) licensed in Arizona.
Although as a Community Facilities District, the District is not required to undergo an annual
audit, as a blended component unit of the City, the District is audited in a separate, but parallel,
engagement. The firm of Fester & Chapman P.C., which has conducted the audit in recent
years, performed the audit for the year ended June 30, 2007. Fester & Chapman P.C.
concluded that there is a reasonable basis for their opinion which was that the financial
statements were free of material misstatement. The auditors' report covers the basic financial
statements in the Financial Section of this report.
FINANCIAL REPORTING ENTITY
The District was formed on September 29, 1994, pursuant to Title 48, Article 6 of the Arizona
Revised Statutes (A.R.S).
In 1995, the District assumed operations of the Consolidated
Water Company and provides water service to Consolidated's former service area.
----------------------------An

Operative Division ofWUCFD---
The Board of Directors consists of the City Council of the City of Apache Junction, Arizona
(City). Because of the City’s ability to exercise control over the District, the District is considered
to be a blended component unit of the City for financial reporting purposes. Component units
are legally separate entities for which the City is considered to be financially accountable.
Because the City designates the management of the District and is able to significantly influence
District operations, the District is a component unit of the City.
Although much of the information contained in this report is also found in the City’s CAFR, this
report reflects the District and does not present the financial position or results of operations of
the City of Apache Junction, Arizona.
ECONOMIC CONDITION AND OUTLOOK
As the Phoenix metropolitan area has grown, the community has become enveloped into the
Phoenix metro economy as well. Historically, the local economy had been dependent upon
tourism and strengthened in the winter and more sluggish in the summer months. While tourism
remains an important factor in the local economy, the area is not as reliant on tourism as it once
was. Throughout the late nineties the City experienced a residential construction boom. While
there is sporadic infill development, the City is now closer to build-out and, therefore, the related
tax revenues had leveled off. Although it is not evident in the local statistics presented further
on, there are concerns because the statewide economy is declining.
Arizona’s economy is slowing, likely in a recession according to Marshall Vest, Director of the
Economic and Business Research Center at the University of Arizona 1 . At the Economic
Outlook Luncheon on December 7, 2007, three multiple shocks to the economy were cited:
1) Housing is in a free fall
2) Credit Markets are in turmoil
3) Oil is approaching $100 per barrel
2
Dr. Vest’s colleague, Gerald Swanson, also of the University of Arizona, expressed concerns
about inflation along with recession indicating that Arizona’s economy will have a landing in
2008, how hard remains uncertain, and that the economy will slip into a period of slow growth,
or no growth. Additionally, he concludes that unemployment will move up. 3
Although the District is in Pinal County which was cited by the US Census Bureau as the sixth
fastest growing county in the country and the fastest in the state from July 1, 2000 through
July 1, 20064, much of that growth occurred in the early part of the decade. Moreover, Apache
Junction did not benefit as much from the housing boom as some other communities. This was
because the City was, for practical purposes, landlocked with respect to development.
However, on December 7, 2006 the Arizona State Land Department auctioned off in excess of
1,000 acres in the southern part of the City which had been restricted. Additionally, the
developer is also committed to master plan the remaining twelve square miles of the Lost

Dutchman Heights. It is expected that the master planning, including planning for roadways,
infrastructure, land use and urban planning, could take a an additional 15-18 months, but after
that, growth opportunities for the future are on the horizon.
Information on which to gauge the local economy at the local level is much more limited
compared to the national, state and even regional levels. Some information can be obtained
through unemployment rates, Transaction Privilege (Sales) Tax collections, and construction
and building data. It is important to note that the following information pertains to the City and
not to the District.
Unemployment figures continue to improve for the City. The average unemployment rate for the
year ended June 30, 2007 (FY07) was 3.4%, less than the 3.7% from the prior year. June 2007
had 3.2% unemployment versus 3.7% in June, 2006. Unemployment fluctuated during the past
two fiscal years which is uncharacteristic. The previous fiscal years, 2003-04 and 2004-05
reflect the historical norm with unemployment generally decreasing over the previous month
during the first part of the fiscal year. This is assumed to result from the seasonal nature of the
economy. It is worth noting that, except for January 2007, every month in FY07 showed
unemployment no higher than the corresponding month of the previous year, for example,
January 2007 compared with January 2006.
Apache Junction unemployment is reflected in the following graph.

The same information is reflected in the table on the following page.
The low unemployment numbers seem to contradict to the reports of recession, but it is
important to note that employment statistics tend to be lagging indicators of the economy in that
the employment changes are among the last to reflect the state of the economy.

Tax collections can also provide insight as to the condition of the local economy. The table
below and graph on the following page illustrate the changes in taxable sales over the past two
years and the seasonal nature of the economy with the peaks during winter months. Also, it can
be seen that the sales have increased over the prior year.

The previous table excludes construction. Construction activity is of a one-time nature and not
a permanent part of the economic base. In recent years much of the vacant land in the City
has been developed and while construction has peaked, it does continue. A decreasing amount
of land is available for development because the State Trust land comprises the largest area
that is not yet available. As a result, in the short-term, construction is expected to decrease until
the area to the south is developed.
The following graph illustrates the changes over the past two years, and shows the seasonal
nature of the economy with the peaks during winter months. Again, it can be seen that the
sales have increased marginally over the prior year.

Although growth has leveled off over previous years, the District continues to serve the present
customer base, albeit in a manner less efficient and economical than should be the case. With
growth on the horizon, future capital outlays will be needed to allow additional and for the more
efficient use of the District’s Central Arizona Project (CAP) allotment and other water resources.
MAJOR INITIATIVES
The major undertaking in the prior year was the Water Resource Assessment by Damon S.
Williams Associates (DSWA) which lasted much of the year. Recommendations to increase
the water supplies included the following:
1) Hire an aggressive water rights attorney and acquire new water rights resources.
During the study DSWA projected a 42% shortfall in future water demand and concluded
that CAP surface water should be the focus in satisfying this demand.
2) Complete the engineering design and construction of the City of Mesa
Interconnect/Booster Pump Station. This is a direct connection with the City of Mesa’s
system and also involves the Mesa Treatment Plant. This would eliminate payments to
Arizona Water for "wheeling" the water and, more importantly, would add capacity over and
above the District’s Arizona Water connection. The preliminary design work has been
completed and the legal details are being worked out with the City of Mesa prior to the land
purchase being consummated. The land cost is expected to be $125,000, and a staff
xiii
estimate of the overall construction cost was $5.0 million. A minimum of 3.5 miles of
transmission main pipe would be required. Staff is in the process of requesting long-term
financing from the Water Infrastructure Finance Authority of Arizona (WIFA). Amounts not
eligible for WIFA funding would be financed with Capital Facilities Fees. It is important to
note that this was cited as a short-term backup by DSWA.
3) Begin design and construction for a WUCFD CAP surface water treatment facility.
This would significantly increase the system capacity and alleviate the District's reliance on
groundwater and reliance on outside organizations. It would also provide a long-term
solution for demand problems and bypass some regulatory challenges resulting from the
use of well water.
Another accomplishment was the completion and implementation of a rate study. As a result of
the rate study the District introduced a tiered rate structure designed to encourage conservation
while maintaining a lifeline rate.
OTHER INFORMATION
Acknowledgments
The preparation of the District’s CAFR was made possible through the assistance and
cooperation of many people both in and outside the City of Apache Junction and Water Utilities
Community Facilities District. Howard McDonald and the field crew assisted through the taking
of the inventory along with Hazel Randall who compiled the information and proofread this letter.
Lisa Hales and Jennifer Kaddi in Finance also reviewed the MD&A and this letter. We also
extend our appreciation to John Petges for his accounting support throughout the year.
Awards
The Government Finance Officers’ Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA)
awarded the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the Water
Utilities Community Facilities District, Arizona for its comprehensive annual financial report
(CAFR) for the year ended June 30, 2006. This is the sixth consecutive year that the District
has received this prestigious award. In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, a
government must publish an easily readable and efficiently organized comprehensive annual
financial report. This report must satisfy both generally accepted accounting principles and
applicable legal requirements.
A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year. We believe that our current
comprehensive annual financial report continues to meet the Certificate of Achievement
Program’s requirements and we are submitting it to the GFOA to determine its eligibility for
another certificate.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
This subsection of the Water Utilities Community Facilities District's annual financial report
presents our discussion and analysis of the District's financial performance during the fiscal year
that ended on June 30, 2007. Please read it in conjunction with the transmittal letter at the front
of this report and the City's financial statements, which follow this section.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
•
Net assets increased by $446,651 during the year, from $6,133,121 to
$6,579,772.
•
Operating revenues increased $84,685 or 2.94% ($2,875,872 to $2,960,557).
•
Operating expenses decreased by $1,084,336 to $2,454,630 from $3,538,966,
a decrease of 30.64%. The decrease was because of the one-time expenses,
incurred in the prior year, relating to the replacement of the water supply lost
with the collapse of Well #5, the principal water source for the District.
•
The District's financial assets were $2,951,305 at year-end, up from $1,965,286
a year ago. This reflects earnings and new loan proceeds.

increase was offset by depreciation of $403,700, resulting in a net decrease of $303,891.
The increase in current and other assets of $1,068,189 consisted of overall system net earnings
and also from loan proceeds in the amount of $693,497 from the Water Infrastructure Finance
Authority of Arizona (WIFA). The WIFA loan reimbursed outlays, most of which were made in
prior years for the construction of an arsenic treatment system.
The main reasons for the increase in other liabilities were increased amounts accrued related to
Safe Yield requirements. As a hedge against taxes on groundwater withdrawal, the District is
purchasing recharge credits from the Superstition Mountains Community Facilities District #1,
the local wastewater treatment provider.
The liability increased from $92,340 as of
June 30, 2006 to $148,196 at June 30, 2007. Another increase involved the Central Arizona
Groundwater Replenishment District (CAGRD) tax. This tax, payable in October, increased
from $155,826 to $178,157.
After taking into account all capital asset and long-term debt activity, the net decrease in capital
assets net of related debt was $574,296. This decrease is broken down as follows:
Purchase and construction of capital assets
Depreciation on capital assets
Principal payments on long-term debt
Amortization of bond reacquisition costs
Additional capital related borrowings
Amortization on bond discount
Net change in capital assets net of related debt

Changes In Net Assets
The results of operations of the District improved, returning to profitability following a year which
reflected a substantial loss due to the collapse of Well #5, the District's main source of water.
Table 2 on the following page compares the changes in net assets for the District during the
fiscal year with those of the prior year.

OPERATING REVENUES
Overall operating revenues increased by $84,691 or 2.94%. While the number of meters
increased, actual consumption decreased marginally. The principal reason for the revenue
increase was a rate increase which took place in November, 2006. The estimated effect of the
rate increase was $132,000. Of this, $96,000 is attributable to the adoption of a graduated rate
structure on consumption, and $36,000 is attributable to an increase in base meter charges.
5
Other charges decreased because the District was unable to renew an ongoing contract for the
sale of nonpotable Central Arizona Project Water for irrigation purposes due to the development
of agricultural land in the surrounding areas.
NONOPERATING REVENUES
Capital facilities fees increased mainly due to one new development in the existing service area.
Capital facilities fees consist of one-time fees which are held and designated by the District for
additional water sources and infrastructure.
Interest and investment revenue increased with the increasing investment balances as the
District returned to profitability.
OPERA TING EXPENSES
In the aggregate, Administration operations increased from $497,367 to $552,365. While most
of the line items decreased marginally, the reason for the overall increase was a Water
Resources Assessment report by an engineering firm.
Plant operations decreased substantially, principally because of the need in the prior year to
treat Central Arizona Project water and for the emergency purchase of water from the Arizona
Water Company to replace the supply lost when Well #5 collapsed. The total cost related to the
water supply replacement is estimated at $1.141 million. Details of this estimate are as follows:
Rental of temporary treatment facility
Rental of ancillary equipment
Diesel fuel to operate temporary facility
Estimated overtime incurred to operate temporary facility
Water purchased at retail from Arizona Water Company
Miscellaneous costs

85,211
59,430
27,600

$1:140.514
The decrease does not reflect the entire amount of the $1.141 million savings. Offsetting some
of the savings are higher personnel costs due to the implementation of a step program and
increased costs of chemicals used in arsenic remediation.
Safe Yield, which in prior years had been captioned Central Arizona Project, decreased from
$560,466 to $365,515. There are different components of this line item. The decrease is a
result of the discontinued opportunity to use part of the District's Central Arizona Project
allotment for incentive recharge. The savings was $236,406, but this is partially offset by an
increase in the CAGRD Tax which increased from $155,326 to $178,157.
Depreciation expense increased with new capital assets added in the previous year, most
notably the re-drilled Well #5, having been in service and depreciated over the entire fiscal
year.
NONOPERA TING EXPENSES
Interest expense decreased because the long-term balance on which interest expense is
imputed decreased. Therefore, less interest accrued.
The item reflected in the prior year's loss on the disposal of capital assets consists of the
collapsed Well # 5.
6
ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL POSITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The District had an increase in net assets of $446,651 compared with the prior year's decrease
of $978,992. The prior year's collapse of Well NO.5 was the overriding factor in this shift.
In order to evaluate the financial position of the District, it is important to distinguish between the
economic measurement focus and the financial measurement focus. Under the economic
measurement focus, all assets, including buildings and infrastructure, are reported as are all
liabilities, including debts that do not mature for years, such as bonds and long-term notes.
Under the financial focus, however, there is a greater emphasis on current resources and
outlays for more of a short-term nature. The most significant difference is that long-term debt
and capital assets such as buildings and infrastructure are not included in the financial
measurement focus.
For analysis purposes, it is useful to introduce the term fund balance, the term often used in
more traditional governmental budgetary accounting. Fund balance is the equivalent to net
assets without taking into account capital assets and long-term debt. Also deducted from fund
balance are debt restrictions resulting from long-term debt covenants. For a more complete
listing of the differences, see both Note 6 of the Notes to Financial Statements and the
Schedule of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balance - Budgetary Basis on
page 31 in the supplemental section. Fund balance increased by $1,015,255 from $708,262 to
$1,723,524.
Another way of determining whether the District's overall financial position improved or
deteriorated would be to compare the principal financial (current) assets and liabilities for the
past two years, as illustrated in Table 3. Not all current assets and liabilities shown on the
balance sheet are included. Inventories are excluded, and restricted assets that will be used to
pay the current portions of long-term debt are included as current assets.

June 30, 2006
Although the District is reporting an increase in net assets of $446,651, net financial assets
increased $917,321. The main reason for the difference was that District received loan
proceeds in the amount of $693,497 to reimburse capital outlays made in the previous year.
The District's financial position clearly improved.
7
CAPITAL ASSET AND DEBT ADMINISTRATION
CAPITAL ASSETS
Capital asset outlays during the year were $99,809 and included the following:
1) $795,947 has been spent on an arsenic treatment system, $22,846 in fiscal year 2007.
Although the asset has been placed in service, there is still work that needs' to be
finalized. The original negotiated price was to be $796,052. The project is being
financed via a restructured loan from the Water Infrastructure Finance Authority of
Arizona (WIFA).
2) During the year, $72,963 was spent on the construction of a new well, Well #8. This is
not yet complete and, with prior year expenditures, is listed as construction in progress
in the amount of $1,003,321 at June 30, 2007.
3) $4,000 was added that was attributable to right of way acquisition after the fact on a line
on South Ironwood Drive. This is being incorporated into the cost basis of the line.
For additional information concerning capital assets, see Note 4 - Capital Assets on page 21.
DEBT ADMINISTRATION
As far as debt administration is concerned, the District has two bond issues and a long-term
note payable.
The note of $2,919,214 payable to WIFA was closed on May 3,2006. The proceeds at the time
of closing, $2,133,162, were used to retire a previous loan, along with accrued interest, to
WIFA. The balance will be drawn down to finance the arsenic treatment system. The previous
loan had been used on the Royal Palm waterline project which was completed in 2002.
The 1997 Series A bonds have, after taking into account the refunded amount, a face amount
outstanding of $310,000 and continue to have a Standard & Poor's Underlying Rating (SPUR)
of BBB and an insured AAA rating.
For more information on long-term debt, see Note 5 of the financial statements on page 22.
FACTORS AFFECTING FINANCIAL POSITION OR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Despite the increase in capital facilities fees, which for the most part reflects the completion of
one development in the service area, growth remains an uncertainty. The rate of growth in the
service area has been decreasing. However, there are future prospects for major growth to the
south of the City. As the District needs to plan to meet the infrastructure and supply needs of
the anticipated development, the District is challenged in meeting its present service
requirements. Yet even with the leveling off of growth, the District is producing at capacity and
purchasing water from other sources or incurring costs to treat the District's allotment of Central
Arizona Project water. Continuing to meet the service demands will remain the primary
challenge for the District.
One way that the District is presently meeting this need is through a "wheeling" agreement with
the City of Mesa and Arizona Water Company. A new increase for a monthly "capacity" charge
has been added to the contract in the amount of $6,481 ($77,772 annually).

Apache Junction Water Utilities Community Facilities District
June 30, 2007
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies of the Apache Junction Water Utilities Community Facilities District,
City of Apache Junction, Arizona [(AJWUCFD) or (District)] conform to U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles as applicable to proprietary funds of governmental units as
promulgated by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB). A summary of the
District's more significant accounting policies follows.
A. Reporting Entity
The District is a Community Facilities District formed by the City of Apache Junction,
Arizona (the City), under the laws of the State of Arizona on September 29, 1994.
AJWUCFD provides water to certain residents of the City and its surrounding areas.
The District is considered to be a blended component unit of the City. Component units are
legally separate entities for which the City is considered to be financially accountable. The
City is financially accountable for the District because the District is governed by a sevenmember board consisting of the City Council, Mayor and Vice Mayor. The District is
reported as an enterprise fund.
The financial statements are intended to present the financial position, results of operations
and cash flows of only the funds administered by the District. These financial statements
do not present the financial position or the results of operations of the City of Apache
Junction, Arizona.
B. Basis of Accounting
Basis of accounting relates to the timing of the measurements made, regardless of the
measurement focus applied and determines when revenues and expenses are recognized
in the accounts and reports in the financial statements.
The District is reported as an enterprise fund. Enterprise funds account for operations that
are financed and operated in a manner similar to private business enterprises, in which the
intent of the District Board is that the costs (expenses, including depreciation) of providing
goods or services to the general public on a continuing basis be financed or recovered
primarily through user charges; or for which the District Board has decided that periodic
determination of revenues earned, expenses incurred, or net income is appropriate for
capital maintenance, public policy, management control, accountability, or other purposes.
16
June 30, 2007
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
The financial statements of the Proprietary Fund are accounted for on the flow of economic
resources measurement focus and use the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are
recognized when they are earned, and expenses are recognized when they are incurred.
C. Operating and Nonoperating Revenues and Expenses
The enterprise fund distinguishes operating revenues and expense from nonoperating
items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and in
connection with principal ongoing operations. The District's principal operating revenues
are charges to customers for water sales related charges. Operating expenses include
administrative expenses, production and distribution expenses including depreciation on
capital assets
Nonoperating revenues include revenues from noncapital financing activities, capital
financing activities and revenues from investing activities. Capital financing revenues
include developer contributions, capital facilities fees and other revenue sources that
would be shown on the Statement of Cash Flows as a positive cash flow from capital
and related financing activities. Investing revenues include interest and investment
income.
Nonoperating expenses include interest expense and any other expense that would be
shown on the Statement of Cash Flows as a negative cash flow from capital and related
financing activities, investing activities, or noncapital financing activities.
Gains and losses on the disposition of capital assets are reported as nonoperating
revenues or expenses.
D. Pronouncements of GASS and FASS
Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 20 states that Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and its predecessor body pronouncements issued
before November 30, 1989, continue to be applicable to Enterprise Funds unless they
conflict with or contradict GASB guidance.
Enterprise Funds may take either of the following approaches to FASB guidance issued
subsequent to November 30, 1989.
1. An entity may elect to continue to follow FASB guidance that does not conflict with
or contradict GASB guidance. If this election is made, it must be followed
consistently. It would not be appropriate to follow some FASB pronouncements
issued subsequent to the cutoff date, but not others.
2. An entity may elect not to subject itself to FASB guidance issued subsequent to the
cutoff date. In that case, even FASB amendments of guidance issued prior to the
cutoff date would not be applicable to proprietary operations.
The District has elected to subject itself to FASB guidance issued subsequent to
November 30, 1989.
17
June 30, 2007
E. Cash and Investments
Arizona Revised Statutes authorize the District to invest public monies in the State
Treasurer's investment pool; obligations issued or guaranteed by the United States or
any of the senior debt of its agencies, sponsored agencies, corporations, sponsored
corporations, or instrumentalities; specified state and local government bonds; interest
earning investments such as savings accounts, certificates of deposit, and repurchase
agreements in eligible depositories; and specified commercial paper, bonds, debentures,
and notes issued by corporations organized and doing business in the United States.
Credit risk:
Statues have the following requirements for credit risk:
1. Commercial paper must be rated P1 by Moody's investors' service or A 1 or better by
Standard and Poor's rating service.
2. Corporate bonds, debentures, and notes must be rated A or better by Moody's
investors service or Standard and Poor's rating service.
3. Fixed income securities must carry one of the two highest ratings by Moody's
investors service and Standard and Poor's rating service. If only one of the abovementioned services rates the security, it must carry the highest rating of that service.
Custodial credit risk:
Statutes require collateral for demand deposits, certificates of deposit, and repurchase
agreements at 101 percent of all deposits not covered by federal depository insurance.
Concentration of credit risk:
Statutes do not include requirements for concentration of credit risk.
Interest rate risk:
Statutes require that public monies invested in securities and deposits have a maximum
maturity of 5 years and that public operating fund monies invested in securities and
deposits have a maximum maturity of 3 years. Investments in repurchase agreements
must have a maximum maturity of 180 days.
Foreign currency risk:
Statutes do not allow foreign investments.
F. Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the District considers all highly liquid
investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash
equivalents.
18
June 30, 2007
G. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The District provides an allowance for doubtful accounts equal to the estimated
uncollectible portion. This estimate, at approximately g% of year-end accounts receivable,
is based on historical collection experience and a review of the current status of accounts
receivable.
H. Inventories
Inventories are recorded as assets when purchased and are expensed when consumed.
They consist mostly of water meters, repair parts, and tubing and are stated at the lower of
cost or market value using the first-in, first-out method of valuation.
I. Prepaid Items
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are
recorded as prepaid items.
J. Capital Assets
Purchased capital assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of
capital assets is charged as an expense against operations. The estimated useful lives in
determining depreciation on a straight-line method are:
Water system and improvements
Machinery and equipment
Buildings
30 years
5-7 years
40 years
Since July 1, 2000, the District's capitalization policy has been to capitalize only assets with
a cost in excess of $5,000.
K. Use of Estimates
In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
L. Compensated Absences
Compensated absences consist of vacation leave and a calculated amount of sick leave
earned by employees based on services already rendered. Employees may accumulate up
to 320 hours of vacation depending on years of service, but any vacation hours in excess of
the maximum amount that are unused at year end are forfeited. Also, upon retirement or
resignation of an employee, the District pays 50 percent of the value of accumulated sick
leave hours earned between 320 and 640 hours and 25 percent of the value of sick leave
hours earned between 640 and 1040 hours.

June 30, 2007
L. Compensated Absences (continued)
Vested compensated absences are recorded as expenses and liabilities as the benefits
accrue to employees.
M. Restricted Assets
Certain proceeds of the District's revenue bonds, as well as certain resources set aside for
bond repayment and capital projects, are classified as restricted assets on the balance
sheet because their use is limited by applicable bond covenants.
N. Income Taxes
The District is exempt from income taxes as a governmental district.
NOTE 2 - DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS
A. Deposits
Custodial Credit Risk - In the case of deposits, this is the risk that in the event of bank
failure, the District's deposits may not be returned. As of June 30, 2007, the carrying
amount of deposits was $671,531. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation protects
the District against loss on the first $100,000 on deposit with each separate financial
institution. The remaining balance was covered by collateral held by the pledging
financial institution's trust department in the District's name.
Restricted cash consists of cash held by a trustee. Future use will be for the payments
on outstanding revenue bonds payable and capital improvements.
B. Investments
The District has few investments and chooses to disclose its investments by specifically
identifying each. The District has not adopted a formal investment policy. At
June 30, 2007, the District's investments were as follows:
Investment Type
State Treasurer's investment pool 7
Amount
Maturities
$ 2,151,798
n/a
$ 2,151,798
The State Board of Investment provides oversight for the State Treasurer's pools, and
the Local Government Investment Pool Advisory Committee provides consultation and
advice to the Treasurer. The fair value of a participant's position in the pool
approximates the value of that participant's pool shares and the participant's shares are
not identified with specific investments.
20
June 30, 2007
NOTE 2 - DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS - CONTINUED
Custodial Credit Risk - For an investment, custodial credit risk is the risk that, in the
event of the failure of the counterparty, the District will not be able to recover the value of
its investments or collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The
District does not have an investment policy for custodial credit risk. At June 30, 2007, all
of the District's investments were uninsured and held by the counterparty's trust
department not in the District's name.
Interest Rate Risk - the District does not have a formal investment policy that limits
investment maturities as a means of managing its exposure to fair value losses arising
from increasing interest rates.
Credit Risk - At June 30, 2007, credit risk for the District's investments was as follows:
State Treasurer's investment pool 7 - not rated
Concentration of Credit Risk - the District places no limit on the amount that AJWUCFD
may invest in anyone issuer. More than 5 percent of The District's investments are in
State Treasurer's Local Government Investment Pool 7. These investments are 100 % of
the District's total investments.
NOTE 3 - RESTRICTED ASSETS
Certain proceeds of the District's revenue bonds, as well as certain resources set aside for
bond repayment, are classified as restricted assets on the balance sheet as their use is
limited by applicable bond covenants. At June 30, 2007 the total amount shown as
restricted assets was $639,964.

NOTE 6 - STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY
The adopted budget of AJWUCFD is prepared on a basis consistent with generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP) with the following exceptions: 1) capital asset
outlays are budgetary expenditures, 2) depreciation and amortization expenses are
excluded from the budgetary basis statements, 3) available proceeds from bonds and
notes payable are budgetary revenues, 4) escrow deposits for principal and reserve
requirements on long-term debt are included in the appropriated budget, 5) deferred
expenses, while recognized as an asset and amortized for GAAP purposes, are treated
as expenditures when the associated outlays are made, 6) accrued payments for the
purchase of long-term storage credits, while accrued for GAAP purposes, are
recognized as expenditures in the year in which they are paid 7) gain or loss on the
disposal of assets for GAAP purposes is not recognized for budgetary reporting
purposes, only any sales proceeds, and 8) materials held in inventories are treated as
expended when purchased for budgetary purposes.
Consequently, the following adjustments are necessary to present actual revenues and
expenses on a budgetary basis in order to provide a meaningful comparison.

NOTE 7 - RISK MANAGEMENT
The City and the District are exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of,
damage to, and destruction of assets; errors and omissions; injuries to employees; and
natural disasters. The City is a member of the Arizona Municipal Risk Retention Pool
(AMRRP), a public entity risk pool currently operating as a common risk management and
insurance program for Arizona municipalities. The coverage under AMRRP extends to
AJWUCFD. The City and AJWUCFD pay an annual premium to AMRRP for its general
insurance coverage. The Agreement for Formation of AMRRP provides that AMRRP will be
self-sustaining through member premiums and will reinsure through commercial companies
for excess claims for each insured event.
AJWUCFD is covered for workers' compensation insurance by the State Compensation
Fund, a quasi-governmental carrier created by state statute. The fund provides members
with workers' compensation coverage, as required by law, and risk management services.
AJWUCFD is responsible for paying a premium, based on an experience rating formula
that allocates expenditures and liabilities among the members.
AJWUCFD continues to carry commercial insurance for all other risks of loss, including
employee health and accident insurance. Settled claims resulting from these risks have not
exceeded commercial insurance coverage in any of the past three years.

June 30, 2007
NOTE 8 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The District is a component unit of the City of Apache Junction, Arizona. The City and the
District receive numerous notices of claims for damages occurring generally from false
arrest, negligence, and bodily injury, breach of contract, defamation of character and
invasion of privacy. The filing of such claims commences a statutory period for initiating
judicial action, and the City and District currently carry excess general liability insurance to
cover possible losses arising therefrom. The District attorney has indicated that he is not
aware of any such action, which would have a significant adverse impact on the District's
financial condition.
On April 5, 2005, the District entered into a contract with Hunter Contracting Company
for the design and construction of an arsenic treatment system. The contract's details
follow:
Total contract amount
Completed and paid through June 30,2007
Remaining contractual commitments including

The project is expected to be completed in 2007 and will be funded through a
restructuring of the existing note payable to the Water Infrastructure Finance Authority of
Arizona.
The District has entered into a ten-year agreement with the Superstition Mountains
Community Facilities District No. 1 for the purchase of long-term storage credits. The
agreement is for the purchase of the lesser of 2,120 acre feet or ninety percent (90 % ) of
the available credits. The purchase price will be calculated at ninety-eight (98 % ) of the
Central Arizona Project Municipal and Industrial Users Excess water rate, rounded to the
nearest dollar. Included in the District's liabilities is an accrual for $148,196 for the
credits generated from January 2006 through June 2007. The agreement expires on
December 31,2015.
