Overview

Mission

The alexander valley mutual water company is a piped water system that provides domestic water in the alexander valley, (specifically west soda rock lane and old barn road) for public / human consumption and has 15 service connections and regularly serves at least 25 individuals daily for at least 60 days out of the year. Well water is stored, tested, and delivered to the community with members paying annual for consumption and capital cost.

What it reported doing in 2024

In 2024, our community water system collected approximately $49,000 in total receivables from water consumption fees and capital repair and maintenance assessments. After operating expenses, the program generated an approximate $18,000 surplus, which was added to the capital and maintenance reserve corpus to support future infrastructure repairs, maintenance, and long-term system sustainability.

Operating model

Revenue model
Membership-supported. 88% of the money available for current operations came from membership dues.
Distribution model
Transfer-based 990-EZ. The 990-EZ reports grants or member benefits, but it does not separate enough spending to show the nonprofit’s full delivery mix.

The verdict

REVIEW - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
