Big Sky County Water & Sewer District 363 remained in a strong and stable position through April 2026, with reliable system performance, continued regulatory compliance, and steady progress on long-term infrastructure planning. Revenues continued to exceed budget expectations, supported by strong water and wastewater user charges, while operating expenses remained above budget in areas such as sewer operations, maintenance, biosolids disposal, and professional services. Even with these cost pressures, the District maintained approximately $18.5 million in cash and restricted reserves and total equity of $71.4 million.
Operationally, the Water Reclamation and Reuse Facility treated 19.8 million gallons of wastewater in April and achieved strong treatment results, including 99.0% BOD removal and 99.5% TSS removal. Reuse operations continued, water sampling showed no detectable E. coli or coliform bacteria, and staff advanced key maintenance, asset management, permitting, and capital improvement efforts. Looking ahead, the District will continue focusing on cost management, preventative maintenance, capital projects, and community engagement, including preparation for the September 2026 “District on Tap” event.
