Monthly Water Service Charge Comparison
13 • Customer conservation during
drought = lower water sales/revenue
• Fixed system costs remain same
(staffing, pipeline maintenance, etc)
• Revenue loss without a safeguard
threatens financial stability
• Drought rates help protect the
city utility during these periods
