Total Revenues = $ 235,607.45 ^. R. = fq- lii e = 1.33 price and thus can be considered relatively inelastic. Since the maximum fee assessable is inversely related to elasticity of demand, the smaller the elasticity the greater the fee that can be imposed. Although low elasticity of demand is probable, a range of values for elasticity is considered in computing user fee capital generating possibilities. Another major consideration in user fee determination is the cost of supplying water to the user. The costs in Table 11 are generalized estimates for moving water from the source to the user facilities. Storage and collection costs at points of origin and distribution and treatment costs at the point of use are not included. 38 |
