Financial effects of successful conservation are presented. Immediate short-term effects includereduced water usage results in declining revenues, andpotentially results in rate increases to cover debt and/orsatisfy cash flow needs.Positive long-term effects include the following:deferment of capital projects; reduced need for future water resources;maximization of existing water resources; and,demonstrated efficient use of resources - valuablewhen applying for future allocations.
