9 Recommendations for Urban Water Conservation Rates

摘要

Water conservation in cities is more important with each passing year, perhaps even with each passing month. Many communities are dealing with some effects of drought or low flows, depleting aquifers or polluted sources. Climate change may be having an impact, as well. Yet urban water demand varies widely, even in similar communities. Some communities use 10 times more water than other, similar communities! The differences in water rates, and relative affordability, for residential customers offer an excellent explanation for these differences in water demand.
