This reader argues that Comer and Beilock, in “How Rate Structures and Elasticities Affect Water Consumption” (JOURNAL AWWA June 1982), overlooked the concept of ceteris paribus, used the word “refutes” incorrectly, and misled readers with their discussion of varying residential elasticities of demand. Reference is made to “Delivery Block Rates Can Encourage Water Conservation” (JOURNAL AWWA January 1981) as an accurate source for determining rates and consumption.
