Politically Feasible, Revenue Sufficient, and Economically Efficient Municipal Water Rates
Water rates are designed to meet multiple objectives, typically resulting in tradeoffs among the objectives of economic efficiency, revenue sufficiency, and related revenue stability. Standard theory of natural monopoly is extended here to explain why long-run marginal cost (LMC) can be greater than both average cost and short-run marginal cost (SMC) for municipal water utilities. The distincti...

متن کاملA Reliable and Economically Feasible Automatic Meter Reading System Using Power Line Distribution Network (TECHNICAL NOTE)
Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) is the remote collection of consumption data from customer’s utility meters over telecommunications, radio, power line and other links. AMR provides water, electric and gas utility−service companies the opportunities to streamline metering, billing and collection activities, increase operational efficiency and improve customer service. Utility company uses technolo...
متن کاملOptimizing Control by Robustly Feasible Model Predictive Control and Application to Drinking Water Distribution Systems
The well-known Nonnegative Matrix Factorization (NMF) method can be provided with more flexibility by generalizing the non-normalized Kullback-Leibler divergence to αdivergences. However, the resulting α-NMF method can only achieve mediocre sparsity for the factorizing matrices. We have earlier proposed a variant of NMF, called Projective NMF (PNMF) that has been shown to have superior sparsity...
متن کاملPrioritizing pathogens for potential future regulation in drinking water.
A method alternative to the EPA’s determination of microorganisms of regulatory concern for drinking water quality is proposed. Drinking water in the U.S. is among the safest in the world but outbreaks of disease linked to drinking water still occur. For example, from 1991 to 2002 there were 183 reported waterborne disease outbreaks caused by chemical contaminants (16%), viruses (8%), bacteria ...
