Common questions

What is public and what is yours, why you would pay for either, what happens when a figure here is wrong, and what it costs.

Is any of this not already public?

Some is public and some is yours. What you pay for is assembling it, checking it against itself, and retaining prior versions so they stay available.

Why would we pay for public data?

You would not pay for the data. You pay for combining sources, the note on which figures were measured, and the document that lets you verify each one.

Is this only about water loss?

No. Those pages are the finished public example. The same work applies to your own records, to financial data, and to other reporting requirements.

Are you saying our filing is wrong?

No. Where a component was not measured, the regulator supplies a default value and the filing records that. We report which components those were.

What happens if a figure here is wrong?

Tell us and we correct it publicly. When we have published incorrect information before, we published the count, the cause and the fix alongside it.

Can you still do a rate study?

Yes. Cost of service, bond feasibility, stormwater and impact fee reviews, consolidation studies and valuations, built from your own audited statements and billing records.

What does it cost?

The published pages are free. Feeds, monitoring and studies are priced per engagement, based on what is already published and what has to be assembled. The first conversation is free.
