The water and sewer rate analysis programs Show-Me Ratemaker have been downloaded by several thousand people. Originally created for the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, these programs are now available by calling the National Drinking Water Clearinghouse at 1-800-624-8301 and requesting Product Number DWCDMG57, the Environmental Management Suite CD.
Wait, caution!
As many as 90 percent of the rate studies performed with Show-Me Ratemaker have errors in them, some very serious. That is not Ratemaker's fault. It's the operator. To put it bluntly, "The jet is fast but it takes a good pilot to fly it to its destination." The risk of someone making bad assumptions is high.
