Achieving Revenue Stability through Your Water Rate Structure
DATE:         January 19, 2017
TIME:           2:00-3:00PM (eastern)
REGISTER:   https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/132920338571523331
This webinar will explain how demand changes affect revenues and how water utilities can improve their revenue stability by modifying their rate structure design.  The vast majority of a water utility’s revenues is directly dependent on the volume of water sold to customers.  Water demand fluctuates from year to year, and numerous studies have shown that average residential demands are decreasing, placing much of a utility’s revenue at risk.
