The impact of large temporary rate changes on residential water use
暂无分享,去创建一个
Previous studies have shown that water meters for residences promote elimination of waste and increases in water rates will curtail external uses (e.g., sprinkling) of water by residences. The present study shows that large increases in water rates, even if temporary, will induce substantial, immediate, and quasi-permanent reductions in domestic (internal) water use by residences. These reductions are effected in various ways, among them, repair of leaks and more efficient use of water-using appliances.
