Updated (4-19)Water Consumption data methodologyWater Consumption data for 2018 was derived from the City’s Utility Department. The data consists of 2018 consumption for each address that the City’s Water Utility serviced in that
year. Since the Atlantic Beach Water Utility services citizens outside of city limits, Brian Broedell then eliminated all addresses from this data that were outside of the Atlantic
Beach boundary. Next, the total consumption from Atlantic Beach addresses was divided by the Atlantic Beach population (derived from the 2017 U.S. Census), which was then divided by
365 to get the daily rate. Finally this number was multiplied by 1,000 because the data was reduced by 1 thousandth when entered in the spreadsheet.
The water consumption data for 2010-2014 came from the 2014 Water Master Plan Update. However, this data includes properties outside of Atlantic Beach city limits and therefore should
be disregarded.
The data in columns D and E were not included in the calculations and have been removed from the file.
