Revenues of $96.1 million were an increase of four per cent over the 2018 balance of $92.5 million.

The total operating expense of $43.8 million incurred to run the operations of all the utilities is a four per cent decrease over 2018. This change is mainly due to decreased expenditures at water facilities and reduced expenditures on programs such as Main Break and Service Leak Repairs. 

We also managed capital investments of $49.6 million in 2019, most of which related to replacing ageing infrastructure.

In addition, Utilities Kingston is responsible for managing the purchase and transmission of gas and electric energy for our customers. Neither Utilities Kingston nor our primary customers make any profit from the provision of this service.

In total these purchases represented $98.6 million for 2019, a two per cent increase from the 2018 value of $96.9 million.
