Cost-Benefit Analysis of Water Conservation
On behalf of the Metropolitan Council, Environmental Financial Group Inc. generated a matrix of water conservation programs with detailed information about the costs and benefits of the programs. Tools were also developed to allow users to calculate potential water savings, estimate program implementation costs, and test the effects of various water conservation programs and rate structures.
$400,000 the first year is for implementation of the master water supply plan developed under Minnesota Statutes, section 473.1565.
This project proposed to develop a tool so that communities are able to evaluate different water conservation rate structures and quantify costs and benefits of implementing water conservation programs. This will assist communities in the selection of effective measures to reduce per capita demand and capital expenditures.
Outcomes will be reported at project completion.
