Full Description
Since future water rates will not only be higher but significantly so, utility managers must be able to perform or supervise the in-depth studies and analyses needed for formulating recommendations as to the extent and shape of the rate changes to be brought about. The following rate structures are reviewed: decreasing block rates, modified decreasing block rates, flat rates, constant unit price, off-peak, interruptible, seasonal rates, conservation rates, lifeline rates, and availability charges.
