Full Description

This article illustrates how the base-extra capacity cost allocation method can be used to compute a schedule of water system development charges for new customers. The goal is to achieve a more equitable recovery of capital costs from new connections that are made to an existing water system. Instead of applying this cost allocation methodology to annual revenue requirements that must be recovered through user rates, it is applied to a water utility's investment in plant and equipment in order to develop a system development charge for each customer class. Includes 3 references, tables.
