Summary

This data release contains input data and programs (scripts) used to estimate monthly water demand for retail customers of Providence Water, located in Providence, Rhode Island. Explanatory data and model outputs are from July 2014 through June 2021. Models of per capita (for single-family residential customers) or per connection (for multi-family residential, commercial, and industrial customers) water use were developed using multiple linear regression. The dependent variables, provided by Providence Water, are the monthly number of connections and gallons of water delivered to single- and multi-family residential, commercial, and industrial connections. Potential independent variables (from online sources) are climate variables [...]

Purpose

These data were compiled to support development of multiple linear regression models to estimate per capita single-family residential water use and per connection multi-family residential, commercial, and industrial water demand for retail customers of Providence Water, in Providence, Rhode Island, July 2014 through June 2021. Explanatory variables include climate, economic, and drought data from online sources.
