(a) The majority of domestic users in these cities are charged a flat rate for unlimited use of water. This is the rate shown here, for a 5-room house with ordinary fixtures, but not including sprinkling charges. 3 Although the majority of domestic users in these cities are charged a flat rate, meter rates are shown, since the city did not report flat rate charges. Notes The number of cases in each population group is approximately the same proportion of the total number studied as that group is of the total number of United States cities. All water charges include sewer charges and meter rents, if any; but meter installation charges are not included. All water charges are net. * * * #
