  "definition": "The difference between the total cost of doing business and the funds received from fees, loans, and grants, and interest earned from any accounts. If the result is zero or greater, the utility is taking in enough money to fully recover its costs and have a surplus. If the result is less than zero, the utility will not cover all costs and therefore will have a deficit.",
