Trouble accessing dashboards?

 

September 2011 residential water, sewer, or water and sewer combined rates for 466 utilities across Georgia can be compared with:

  • All other utilities in the State,
  • Utilities of the same size,
  • Utilities in the same river basin,
  • Utilities with the same water source,
  • Utilities with the same rate structure,
  • Utilities serving communities with similar median household incomes,
  • Utilities in the same Water Planning Region, and
  • Utilities within 50 miles

The following measures for the selected utility are compared to key indicators or to the utilities within the selected comparison group:

  • Monthly water, sewer, or water and sewer combined bill for the selected consumption amount,
  • Monthly bill for as % Median Household Income for the community,
  • Conservation pricing signal, and
  • Ratio of operating revenues to operating expenses (when available).

You can compare the monthly bill charged for any consumption level from 0 gallons/month to 15,000 gallons/month, at 1,000 gallon intervals. You can also raise rates by up to 50% and observe the (hypothetical) effects on the utility's rates, revenues and rate affordability.

In addition, system financial health and customer demographic profiles are provided for utilities where data are available.

 

Troubleshooting

The dashboards are Flash (swf) files that should automatically run on your web browser once it is launched. The dashboards may take 30 to 60 seconds to load on your browser. If you are having trouble accessing the dashboards, try the following steps:

1. Download Adobe Flash Player 9.0 (or later) on the browser you are using to access the dashboards (Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc.).
Get Adobe Flash Player

2. If an error message appears warning about running scripts, accept the scripts to launch the dashboards.

3. If you are still having trouble accessing the dashboard, try switching to another web browser (use Firefox instead of Internet Explorer, or vice versa). You may need to download Flash Player 9.0 again before you proceed.
