A project in Austin, Texas, provides the city with the statistical basis for refining customer class categories and updating the rate structure. For several summers Austin, Texas, has used transit‐time ultrasonic meters to monitor hourly water use and derive coincident and noncoincident daily and hourly peaking factors for a sample of the city's single‐family residential customer class. These data have been used in a formal cost‐of‐service study for setting cost‐based rates. Additionally, the data have set the stage for operational, conservation, and pricing studies.
