Abstract: In “Measuring Household Affordability for Water and Sewer Utilities” by Manuel P. Teodoro, in the January 2018 issue of Journal AWWA (Vol. 110, No. 1, p. 13), Table 3, Figure 1, and Figure 2 and the section “A big-city snapshot” contained inaccurate information as a result of a calculation error. In Table 3, Figure 1, and Figure 2, the values for affordability at the 20th income percentile (AR20) and hours of labor at minimum wage (HM) values for San Jose were incorrect. The corrected calculations resulted in the ordinal arrangement for the utilities in both figures to be reordered. The corrected table and figures are republished here. In the section, “A big city snapshot,” the average single-family residential bill should have been $82.92 and the average AR20 should have been 11.3%. The HM did not change significantly as a result of the recalculations.
