Utilizing Coordinated Billing and Metering Systems Analysis to Enhance Utility Revenue on a Shared Revenue Basis

by Randy P. Schuler,



Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: North American Water and Environment Congress & Destructive Water

Abstract:

The Jefferson Parish Water Department provides water service to over 450,000 residents through 132,000 active utility connections and provides billing services for all Parish operated Utilities. During 1992 the Water Department was considering a comprehensive meter replacement program, a total review of its billing system, and had proposed only the second water rate increase in the last twenty.five years. At the same time, the Parish Council was looking at a potential contracting out of all Water Department functions as an alternative to the rate increase.
