<br />Financial Analysis of the Government's Funds
<br />As noted earlier, net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government's financial
<br />position. In the case of the La Porte Area Water Authority, assets exceeded liabilities and deferred
<br />inflows of resources by $8,235,165 at the close of the fiscal year.
<br />The largest portion of the Water Authority's net position $4,864,589 reflects its investment in capital
<br />assets (e.g., water production and distribution system), less any related debt used to acquire those assets
<br />that are still outstanding. The City uses these capital assets to provide water services to the participants;
<br />consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although the Water Authority's
<br />investment in its capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources
<br />needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets themselves
<br />cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities.
