The City of Jackson provides water service to customers outside the City limits.  We currently charge these customers a higher rate than City residents.  We are now in the process of updating our water rates and we need to ensure that the out-of-city rates are properly justified.  One key item in support of a rate differential is a rate of return on our investment.  I don't know how to determine this.
 
I would appreciate any information on how others justify a reasonable additional charge to customers outside your jurisdiction, particularly return on investment.  If you have any studies, or excerpts from studies you could provide, that would be great.
 
Thanks
