This article begins with a discussion on flat rates, and how the recent emphasis on metering and pricing of water reflects current changing attitudes toward hydrologic and economic conditions. Two residential water use studies are discussed: the Residential Water Use Research Project of Johns Hopkins University, under the Technical Studies Program of the Federal Housing Administration, in cooperation with sixteen water companies; and, the study by Howe, C.W. and Linaweaver, F.P., JR., “The Impact of Price on Residential Water Demand and Its Relation to System Design and Price Structure.”
