摘要:

During the past several years, a growing number of ideas for establishing utility rates have been suggested. While some have merit, the traditional tenet of basing rates on actual cost is still the most valid approach. Pricing variations are measured against the outlined components of rate‐making, revenue requirements, cost of service, and rate design.

摘要:

Studies of the water System of Faro, Yukon Territory, have revealed a form of corrosion that is unusual and possibly unique. The combination of discontinuous permafrost in a semi‐arid area leading to uncertain electrical grounds, together with a conductive water supply and the superimposition of radio‐frequency currents on the metallic portions of the distribution System—particularly copper tubing—jointly contributes to the corrosion problem.
