Tune in for a no-cost, 60-minute, interactive webinar to learn about the new, online, Florida Water and Wastewater Rates Dashboard, as well as information about benchmarks for sustainable rates and finances for your system. The Dashboard features data from our project partner Raftelis, a consulting group working in utility rate setting, finance, management, and operations for water and wastewater utilities.

Dashboard Features:

• Four benchmarking dials (rates comparison, conservation pricing signal, affordability, and cost recovery)
• Rate increase simulation slider, with consumption ranging from
  0-15,000 gallons
• Meaningful comparison groups based on system characteristics, customer demographics, and geography
• Edit Data or Add Utility function to use even if a system is not
  in the survey

The Florida Rates Dashboard is a great tool to help utility managers, finance directors, council/board members and others evaluate their rates, benchmark rates with other utilities, and determine if utility rates are encouraging conservation and covering costs of operations and capital. It can also serve as a communications tool for explaining utility rates and finance concepts to a variety of audiences.
