Abstrakt: Water utilities in California must promote water conservation, yet have a limited suite of rate structures that can be used to charge for water. Under traditional rate structures, a strong pricebased conservation signal can produce conservation yet result in revenue instability. California public water utilities face additional challenges as a result of the standards for reporting, accounting, and proportionality under Proposition 218. One solution for resolving these structural tensions between conservation and fiscal solvency in a Proposition 218 environment is the implementation of consumption-based fixed rates (CBFR). This article describes the design and implementation of CBFR in Davis, Calif. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
