Abstract
This study systematically evaluates residential consumer responses to a uti
lity conservation initiative based on an econometric analysis of a sample o
f 510 households served by Artesian Water Company, Inc. (New Castle County
of Delaware). Using a panel study approach covering the period from 1992 to
1997, this study shows that Artesian's water conservation program has had
statistically significant and persistent impacts on residential water consu
mption.
