View a video tutorial on using the Rates Dashboard

These free, interactive Rates Dashboards are designed to assist utility managers and local officials analyze residential water and wastewater rates against multiple characteristics, including:

  • utility finances,
  • system characteristics,
  • customer base socioeconomic conditions,
  • geography, and
  • history.

The Rates Dashboards are tools designed and produced by the Environmental Finance Center as part of projects to annually survey and analyze rates data from different states. Rates data are collected from approximately 85-90% of all local governments and non-profit utilities in most of these states. Other products from the rates analyses include annual reports and tables of rates across the state, and copies of the hundreds of rate sheets analyzed. All of this information is provided free of charge on our website.

The rates surveys are conducted in partnership with state agencies in different states.

You will need Adobe Flash Player 9 or later to view these dashboards. Image of Flash Icon
