Tiered water pricing is a critical tool used by water utilities to incentivize conservation.
Increasing block price schedules provide strong incentives for customers to conserve water. The lowest tier typically corresponds to an amount of water sufficient to meet basic indoor needs like drinking and bathing. Each subsequent tier charges a higher rate and is designed to discourage households from using water for non-essential things like large lawns.
