Abstract

This article discusses how demand metering can offer the customer the opportunity to reduce water charges by controlling water use while reducing the utility's peak demands, and hence its service costs. A demand rate also assures the water utility adequate compensation for the costs incurred in meeting peak demands. With a growing need for conserving plant investment and for awareness of the costs of service, demand rates should receive increasing attention and application. It is of great interest to both the customer and the utility that all pertinent characteristics of water use be fairly taken into account in water rate charges.
