Abstract
Reductions in water use related to water efficiency, wet or cool conditions, stable or declining population, and other factors reduce revenues, posing challenges for the traditional utility business model. The main objective of this project is to identify and recommend new and updated strategies for pricing and rate design, financial policies and practices, planning approaches, and new utility services, that effectively align revenue stability, supply reliability, water-use efficiency, and demand reduction.
