The Water Resources Program drills for water on a cost recovery basis for the private sector and other government agencies. Intrasector Recoverable Works are accounted for through clearing accounts under Miscellaneous Revenue.
Clearing accounts record receipts and expenditure only.
Some Recoverable Works Projects span over 2 financial years, and opening balances from previous financial years for these projects are recorded in the overall opening balance of the operating account. If expenditure exceeds receipts in one financial year, because the opening balance is not reported against Miscellaneous Receipts, a negative balance will be recorded. The majority of funds received under this category related to the Natural Heritage Trust. This service is maintained by the Business Services Branch. Comments and suggestions are welcomed.
