About this file

This is a customer relationship impact analysis report conducted by Metrix Matrix Inc. for the Clayton County Water Authority (CCWA) in October 2018, examining customer satisfaction and feedback regarding water quality, billing processes, communications, and various CCWA programs. The study analyzed approximately 400 telephone surveys completed with random CCWA customers during September and October 2018, with a margin of error of ±5%. The survey measured customer satisfaction across multiple attributes including water quality, service reliability, billing accuracy, payment options, and communication preferences.

The analysis revealed that 88% of respondents were satisfied with CCWA overall, showing a statistically significant increase from 82% in 2014. Key findings indicated that customer perception of rates was the strongest predictor of overall satisfaction, followed by billing accuracy and water smell. The study examined various customer segments including tap water drinkers vs. non-drinkers, recent contact vs. no recent contact, longtime vs. new customers, and usage volumes. The report also evaluated customer interest in new payment and communication methods, finding increased interest in mobile services compared to 2014. The toilet rebate program awareness decreased from 27% in 2016 to 21% in 2018, while the percentage of customers viewing rates as reasonable decreased significantly from 97% in 2014 to 71% in 2018.

1. Methodology

The following are the results of a customer satisfaction program designed to gather customer feedback regarding residential customers’ overall satisfaction with Clayton County Water Authority (CCWA) as well as their experiences and perceptions around water quality, billing processes, communications with CCWA and various programs offered by CCWA.

This is the summary result of approximately 400 telephone surveys (Appendix A) performed with a random sample of CCWA customers. All the surveys were completed during September and October of 2018.

The maximum Margins of Error for the top-level percentages provided in this report are as follows:

Segment Sample Size Margin of Error

Customer Population

400 ± 5%

For the purposes of proportions analysis, each of the following categories were segmented by response across appropriate key attributes to determine if there were any significant differences between subsectors. Significant differences are highlighted in the section 3 of this report.

2018 vs. 2016 and 2014

Gender

Tap Water Drinkers vs. Non-Drinkers

Recent Contact vs. No Recent Contact

Longtime Customers (>5 Years) vs. New Customers (<5 years)

Average Monthly Usage (<5,000 gallons vs. ≥5,000 gallons)

2. Impact Analysis Defined For the purposes of this report, appropriate responses were compiled and analyzed for each of the following attributes:

Dissatisfaction [DISSAT] Dissatisfaction is the percent of customers that selected a response in the less desirable portion of the response spectrum.0F

1 In the case of an attribute that is not necessarily undesirable, the proportion represents the response that most closely correlates with overall dissatisfaction.

Prioritizing management decisions solely on the ranked results of this measure would increase satisfaction in those areas with the lowest scores. However, without taking into account how important each attribute is to overall satisfaction, you may find little improvement in overall satisfaction and/or retention.

An example would be if it were determined that 80 percent of the customers calling your organization surveyed were dissatisfied with the hold time required to reach a representative. The end result of replacing the phone system or hiring more people would only ensure that more people would be more satisfied in regards to the hold time. After making the large capital expenditure there might be no shift whatsoever in the overall customer satisfaction because the hold time, though annoying, was not important.

Importance [IMPORT] Importance is the relative amount of influence a measured item tends to have on the Overall Satisfaction score.

For the purpose of analysis, importance is represented as the average difference in the overall satisfaction score between those satisfied with a given attribute and those dissatisfied by the same attribute.

When deciding which areas to improve customer satisfaction, it is generally a good idea to take into account how important each measured attribute is to the average customer. A key concept to keep in mind about importance is that where items fall on the importance index are generally driven by culture (corporate, local, regional or national) and are more difficult to move up and down the list.

It is this combination of how many customers are dissatisfied [DISSAT] and to what degree [IMPORT] that we establish relative Impact on the overall satisfaction level of the customer base.

Impact [IMPACT] Impact is defined as the degree to which the combination of Dissatisfaction and Importance impact the Overall Satisfaction score for the entire customer base. By prioritizing management decisions based on the ranked results (highest to lowest) of the impact values would tend to maximize the overall customer satisfaction score.

For the purpose of analysis, the impact index is calculated using the following equation: [IMPACT] = [IMPORT] x [DISSAT]. The resulting values are then normalized so all the impact values add up to 100.

1 This includes all scores less than 7 for score-based questions.

3. Executive Summary 2014 2016 2018

Average Overall Satisfaction with Clayton County Water Authority 8.3 ↓ 8.4 8.6 ↑

Percent Satisfied1F

1 with Clayton County Water Authority (score ≥7) 82% ↓ 83% 88% ↑

How would the surveyed customer base be described in terms of their overall satisfaction with Clayton County Water Authority (CCWA)?

Eighty-eight percent (88%) of respondents gave a satisfied rating with regard to their overall satisfaction with CCWA, yielding an average score of 8.6 on the 1 to 10 scale. Both measures of overall satisfaction in 2018 are statistically significantly higher than 2014.

The customer’s perception of rates is the strongest predictor of their level of overall satisfaction. Billing accuracy and water smell round out the top-3 most impactful items. Any improvement in these three attributes will subsequently improve overall satisfaction, conversely any decline in satisfaction with this attribute will have an undesirable effect on overall satisfaction.

The distribution of attribute importance and dissatisfaction is similar to 2016. Average importance (difference in overall satisfaction between those satisfied and dissatisfied) remains about 1.9. Average dissatisfaction (percentage of respondents in the dissatisfied category) is 15%. Consistent with 2016, Drinking tap water and Recently contacted CCWA stand out from other attributes with very high dissatisfaction. Because Drinking tap water has such high Dissatisfaction, small changes in Importance may cause large swings in Impact. This was the case from 2016 to 2018, dissatisfaction remained high, but the Importance of Drinking tap water dropped by over half, causing it’s Impact to fall to the bottom half of attributes.

Which attributes are more important, or, tend to have a larger influence on an individual respondent’s overall satisfaction with CCWA?

1. Service Reliability (1)2F

2. Efforts to protect the environment (6)

3. Ease of understanding the bill (2)

Which attributes associated with lower overall satisfaction scores were encountered most frequently?

1. (57%) Not drinking tap water (1)

2. (33%) Having a recent contact with CCWA (2)

3. (17%) Dissatisfied with taste of tap water (3)

Which attributes, if changed or improved, would more likely contribute to or correspond with a higher level of overall satisfaction across the customer base?

3F

1. Reasonableness of rates (2)

2. Billing Accuracy (3)

3. Water Smell (9)

1 For the purposes of this study, satisfied is indicated by a score greater than or equal to 7 on a scale of 1 to 10.

2 (n) indicates this attribute’s rank in the 2016 study.

3 IMPORTANT: Conversely, these IMPACT items would also be more likely lead to a lower overall satisfaction score if there were any increase in dissatisfaction among them.

Statistical Observations of Note

The following observations highlight statistically significant differences between respondent subgroups.

These are differences that may be stated with some level of confidence based upon the current sample size and response distribution. Unless otherwise noted, these subgroups focus on respondents in 2018.

It is important to note that these observations only highlight differences that are large enough to identify with a reasonable level of confidence; meaning they are unlikely due to chance. The absence of an observation does not indicate the absence of a difference, but rather there is insufficient data to draw a conclusion with a reasonable level of confidence. Bolded observations indicate an attribute ranked in the top 3 Impact items.

4. Impact Results Fourteen attributes were considered in the Impact Analysis regarding customers’ overall satisfaction.

The following table is sorted in IMPACT order with those attributes at the top of the list having the greatest impact on overall satisfaction across the measured population.

IMPACT TABLE6F

1 In the case of an attribute that is not necessarily undesirable, the proportion represents the response that most closely correlates with overall dissatisfaction.

Clayton County Water Authority Relationship Study | Impact Analysis Page 12

Another view to place DISSAT and IMPORT into perspective is the X/Y scatter chart or Quadrant Analysis. Along the X-axis we find the relative importance of each attribute. Along the Y-axis we find the percent of the population that indicated they were dissatisfied with the particular attribute.

CAUTION: The axis is for the purposes of relative positioning of the attributes. It does not necessarily indicate Clayton County Water Authority standards.

In the most general use of this chart, you would focus on any attributes that appear in the upper right quadrant as they represent a higher incidence of dissatisfaction with the more important attributes.

Comments Regarding Water Quality Comments from 2018 Only

1 Although my water is good, how can I find out what's maybe in the water?

2 Compared to surrounding counties I am very happy with the water quality here in Clayton County.

3 Do more spot checking and pressure release for cleaning the lines.

4 Do something to get it to taste better.

5 Get the water bill to where it won’t be a late fee.

6 I can't think of anything right now. So far so good. We appreciate what they do.

7 I do not see anyone drinking the water.

8 I don't have any water pressure.

9 I don't know the process for cleaner water. It is an issue when you pour it in a glass. You can see it turns yellow or you can see the dirt particles.

10 I drink CCWA all the time. I don't buy it bottled. I have a dispenser that was given to me at a meeting from CCWA. I have no trouble.

11 I feel like there is a problem with the actual quality of the water.

12 I guess it can be improved on a bit. I cannot blame Clinton County. There are contaminants that you cannot do much about.

13 I have concerns about the water and how it affects me health wise.

14 I have none. It's good quality.

15 I have nothing to compare it to.

16 I have very good water and very good water service.

17 I just think you all are doing an outstanding job. Keep up the good work and don't raise the bill.

18 I love how they’ve worked with me on my bill.

19 I think it's real good. I've never used bottle water.

20 I think the water is too pricey

21 I think they need to work with people more often with their bills.

22 I think they should have a better website online to make things better.

23 I use filter.

24 I wish they would do something to make it taste better. Then I wouldn't have to buy bottled water.

25 I wish they would me find the leek.

26 I would like it to be made more convenient to pay bills.

27 I would like them to keep an upbeat pace for people.

28 I would like to see my bills less.

29 I'm being charged for my storm drain. I don't know what it is. "Storm drain charges."

30 It has been fine, I have no complaints.

31 It tastes horrible. As far as taking a bath in it, it's fine. When washing clothes, my clothes don't really feel clean when I wash them.

32 It tastes just like bleach.

33 It would be nice if we could get the storm pipes drained, cleaned out and tested periodically. After that, send in the bill the result of the test so that we know the quality of the water that we're drinking.

34 It’s getting better.

35 It's good, I drink it.

36 It's just great.

37 It's just not drinkable.

38 It's just the water particles that I see in it.

39 It's ok.

40 It's pretty decent considering I'm from Louisiana and their water is atrocious.

41 Let people know what that smell coming from the water is.

42 Lower the rates.

43 Most of the time, I smell a chlorine smell. It is also a little cloudy.

44 My bill is too high, I don't know why it's so high.

45 My water normally has approximate +90 TDS when routed from its normal source. However, when routed from another location it is much higher. Something better needs to be done about the smell, hardness, and taste.

Clayton County Water Authority Relationship Study | Impact Analysis Page 26

46 My water should not smell like chemical bleach. Sometimes it smells like sewage instead. Maybe it has something with the chemicals they use to clean the water.

47 No, everything is fine.

48 No, I'm pleased with the water quality.

49 No, it's good.

50 No, you guys do a great job.

51 No. Everything is fine and I've been here with CCWA for thirty five years.

52 No. Everything is good.

53 No. I am a new customer. First time experience.

54 No. I don't have any problems.

55 No. I never had any reason to complain about smell, taste or quantity.

56 No. I wish someone would test the water.

57 Sometimes the water smells really bad.

58 The customer service can be better. Payment arrangements can be better as well.

59 The office is too far too make payments.

60 The problem with the smell and taste needs to be solved.

61 The water at home taste different then the water at work.

62 The water does not taste well at all.

63 The water is the not the best.

64 The water runs good. We never have a problem with that.

65 The water should be purified so that everyone can drink it.

66 The water should be tested periodically. They should when we should boiling our water when something is wrong with water.

67 There have been a few times in the summer that the water wasn't as clear as it normally would have been. It's the only issue I've had and I've been here for four or five years. That was just this past summer.

68 This is the top water.

69 Water has specks in it.

70 Water smells like Sulphur at least 3-4 times a year

71 Well, I'm very grateful it doesn't cost too much. Its water quality is good. I think we have the best water in the USA, actually the whole world. I'd live here just to have Clayton Water Authority.

72 Why is the sewer cost more than the water cost?

Other Primary Reason for Contact

Other Primary Reason for Contact

1 Converting from septic tank to municipal sewage. The water pressure and fire hydrant being flushed inaccurately causing brown water.

2 For the neighborhood, we had storm drain problems. It was not a personal problem.

3 I had a water leak and my bill shot up really high.

4 I had questions about a hole that was in my back yard.

5 I wanted to know where the sewer line were headed from my house.

6 Just getting information.

7 They charged me $150.00, so I went to go get reimbursed.

8 They removed a manhole cover on my street and put yellow tape around it. They have not come back to fix it.

9 They took our garbage can because we didn't pay our water bill.

10 To change over the account into my son's name.

11 To get additional service.

12 Toilet rebate program.

13 Toilet rebate.
