Project Description

COST OF SERVICE AND RATE STUDY

STRADA assisted an Alabama water utility in evaluating their existing customer base, customer demand, cost-of-service, and rate structure. We evaluated the data with the intent of identifying ways our client could modify their rate structure to cover ever-increasing costs without inequitably affecting their customers. Our work included:

On this project, STRADA oversaw the following:

  • Collecting and analyzing customer data
  • Estimating annual revenue requirements
  • Allocating annual expenses
  • Calculating and evaluating cost-of-service
  • Developing an equitable rate structure
  • Preparing a cost-of-service and rate study report
