Utility charges incurred in non-CLF ports are paid with what funds?

• A. NAVSUP FUNDS
• B. O&M FUNDS
• C. S&E UTILITY FUNDS
• D. MWR FUNDS

Answer: (C)

When a Navy unit incurs utility charges at ports that do not have a Commercial Lodging Facility (CLF) arrangement, those costs are funded from S&E Utility Funds. This specific appropriation area, within the broader S&E (Services and Equipment) category, is set up to cover service costs like utilities (electricity, water, sewer) used in lodging or temporary accommodations outside CLF contracts. It keeps lodging-related utility expenses separate from general O&M budgets and from NAVSUP procurement activities. The other fund types serve different purposes: NAVSUP funds for supply procurement, O&M funds for everyday operating costs, and MWR funds for morale, welfare, and recreation programs.
