WS (Water Consumption Drop)

Consumption drops can generally be divided into two categories: event driven drops and gradual drops. The general rule when analyzing water consumption drop cases is that the case is worthy of investigation if the customer can be located, confirmed still in business, and displays consumption drop during winter months. A major consideration when analyzing accounts with a consumption drop is the performance of the other utility (gas and electricity). If consumption of one or more utilities drops and consumption of the other utility remains steady the likelihood of an un-metered service condition for the utility with the consumption drop is significantly higher.
