The ratings upgrade on Philadelphia, Pa.'s water and sewer bonds reflects a trend of sound financial operations with the department balancing operations since fiscal 1995 without a need for a rate increase and a consistently strong regulatory compliance record following the resolution of three environmental consent orders. Additional strengths include the following: The system is a regional provider of wastewater and water services to 11 wholesale customers in addition to retail service to Philadelphia; and Sound debt service coverage of senior revenue debt service managed to the 1.2 times (x) level following deposits to the capital and rate stabilization accounts. Offsetting these are: Below-average collection rates despite the improvement to 88% in fiscal 1998 following the implementation of monthly billing
