The current state of public enterprise accounting

1. Simple water supply business accounting

Niseko Town 's waterworks currently supply water through one simple waterworks area, one private waterworks area, and two drinking water supply facilities. The waterworks coverage rate is 96.8% as of the end of 2023 In fiscal year 2024, we will carry out "appropriate raw water and purified water quality testing," "replacement of water meters based on the Weights and Measures Act," "water distribution pipe renewal work in Miyata area," "city district SDGs district water distribution pipe installation work," "city district water conveyance pipe installation work," "city district water purification plant new construction work," "pressure reducing valve renewal work in Niseko area," "Kondo district water reservoir waterproofing repair work," and "Niseko district well flow meter installation work." The commissioned work will include "water distribution pipe implementation survey and design work in the Niseko district, Soga district, and Kondo district."
In terms of expenditures, facility expansion projects have increased compared to last year, but facility renewal projects have decreased, resulting in a decrease of 129.76 million yen compared to the initial budget for 2023, to 635.24 million yen. In addition, due to the transition from special accounts to public enterprise accounting in fiscal year 2024, a new expenditure item of 114.76 million yen in depreciation expenses will arise, so the total budget amount will be 750 million yen. In terms of revenues, national treasury subsidies will be used for water distribution pipe renewal projects, and simple water supply business bonds, depopulation bonds, and remote area bonds will be used for water facility expansion projects and water equipment renewal projects.

2 Sewerage business accounting

2023 As of the end of March 2023, the sewerage system maintenance rate was 92.0%, the flushing rate was 97.7% for public sewers, and 87.5% for agricultural sewage systems. The agricultural collection and sewerage system is carried out by Rankoshi Town as the main business. In FY6 of Reiwa (FY2024), we will carry out "SDGs block sewerage sewage pipe construction new construction", "sewerage sewage basin installation work", "sewerage management center roof repair work", etc.

The mechanical and electrical equipment of sewerage facilities is due for renewal, and based on the "Sewerage Stock Management Plan," construction to renew the mechanical and electrical equipment will continue in fiscal year 2024. The plan is to continue this work until fiscal year 2025.
The agricultural sewerage system is undergoing a mechanical and electrical equipment renewal project based on the "Agricultural Village Sewerage Facility Optimization Plan." In fiscal year 2024, the town's share of the costs for the agricultural village water supply facility mechanical and electrical equipment renewal project under the jurisdiction of Rankoshi Town has been included in the budget.

In terms of expenditures, due to a decrease in the cost of sewerage facility renewal projects, the total has decreased by 3.84 million yen compared to the initial budget 2023, to 269.56 million yen.
As with the simple water supply business accounting, the new public enterprise accounting will result in a new expenditure item of 61.12 million yen in depreciation expenses, bringing the total budget to 330.68 million yen. As for revenues, the Social Capital Development Comprehensive Grant, sewerage business bonds, and depopulation bonds will be used for the new sewerage sewage pipe construction project and the sewerage facility renewal project.
