Abstract
A panel data regression model was developed to evaluate the impacts of metering on household water consumption. Three California cities were evaluated after undergoing metering for the first time, while concurrently being switched from flat to tiered rates. Metering is generally recognized to reduce water use, but the actual usage depends on various factors. Those factors were additionally investigated and effects were compared with households that were previously metered. Covering a two-to-three-year period, monthly household water use reduced after metering and facing a price rate change by 54 gpd in Bakersfield, 36.5 gpd in Chico, and 12.9 gpd in Visalia.
