Water pricing plays a central role in water resource stewardship and sustainability, and is a key element in water conservation programs.  Funded by the Great Lakes Commission and the Great Lakes Protection Fund, the Alliance for Water Efficiency conducted workshops on conservation pricing and prepared a rates primer authored by Dr. Janice Beecher of Michigan State University.  This primer provides an introduction to key principles and concepts of ratemaking.  It also high­lights findings from Dr. Beecher’s 2010 Great Lakes Water Rate Survey that was conducted as part of this initiative.
