This powerpoint presentation begins by presenting an overview of presentation topics that include the following: budget-based rates; a water budget; the need for budget-based rates; budget-based rates - is it for you; and, key implementation steps. Presentation conclusions indicate that: traditional outdoor conservation programs are expensive to implement and have limited success; budget-based rates are not for everyone, but they are a great tool for agencies that want to augment their outdoor water conserving efforts; and, budget-based rates provide a clear and meaningful price signal to reduce water waste.
