This powerpoint presentation begins by presenting the following issues: Industrial, Commercial, Institutional (ICI) deliveries make up significant portion of total system use; ICI uses are twice as intense; there is little uniformity in how customers are categorized; and, this makes it difficult to compare usage or determine benchmarks. A dedicated system is needed for determination of proper water budgets, for establishing fair plant investment fees (PIFs), and other systems of classification are not appropriate for water use. The Standard Industrial Code (SIC) system of classification was abandoned by the U.S. Department of Commerce in favor of the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). Ten categories are presented that account for 69% of CI water use and 76% of CI customers. Includes figures.
