(Quick point: Philadelphia\u2019s fiscal year ends on June 30. Fiscal Years correspond to their end dates. So right now we\u2019re in the middle of hearings for fiscal year 2015 which begins on July 1, 2014.)<\/p>\n<p>For the departments, it\u2019s a chance to reflect back on the previous year and look ahead at the short- and long-term plans of the department. Tomorrow, the Philadelphia Water Department (PWD) will have its turn in the spotlight as Commissioner Howard Neukrug delivers his testimony to City Council. Since much of what is said during this testimony doesn\u2019t get reported out to the general public, we thought we\u2019d share some of these reflections of the past yearand plans for the coming year directly with you. Over the next few days we will post quick reads about what we think are some exciting developments and particularly interesting challenges.
