thereof, and all or a part of the expenses for additions and improvements
and other necessary disbursements or indebtedness, and the Village
may resolve to pledge each surplus or any part thereof for any such
purpose.

to operation and maintenance costs attributable to that class for
the next year.
The Village shall conduct an annual audit, the purpose of which
shall be to maintain the proportionality between the users and user
classes of the user charge system and to ensure that adequate revenues
are available relative to increasing operation, maintenance and replacement
costs.
