Full Description

Single tariff pricing for twelve separate water districts, served by the West Virginia Water Company, an investor-owned utility, solved the problem of disparate water rates. Each customer in the service area now pays the same rate for the same service, although there are only 578 customers in the smallest district and 58,000 in the largest. The new rate structure resulted in as much as a 41 percent decrease in rates in one small district and only an 8 percent increase in the largest. The concept could help solve the dilemma of other nonintegrated small water systems. Includes tables, figure.
