Since water use depends on variables such as temperature and precipitation, projected short‐term water and sewer revenues can be seriously affected by weather. A computerized model was developed for the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission (WSSC) to incorporate the statistical probability of the occurrence of identified variables and their influence on water use and therefore on water revenues. The model is used to provide a 24‐month forecast of short‐term revenues for WSSC.
