East Orange Water Commission reports 100% collections for year, staff say lien sale helped recover past‑due amounts
Summary
Finance staff told the board the utility achieved 100% collections for the year, including recovered amounts from an October lien sale; commissioners discussed reconciling that figure with remaining delinquent accounts.
Joseph J. Tomashosky, the board's finance lead, told commissioners the utility achieved a 100% collections goal for the year, including collections covering amounts billed through December. "We have a goal of 100% collections for the year. That means we collected as much as we billed," Tomashosky said, adding that the result included recovery of past-due amounts from an October lien sale.
Board members discussed how the 100% collections figure can coexist with remaining delinquent accounts on the books and asked staff to clarify accounting and recovery timing. The minutes record the board beating its budgeted numbers for both expenses and revenue collected for the period referenced.
