Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie i omówienie metody oceny oszczędności wynikających z korzystania ze źródeł wody bezzwrotnie zużywanej przez przeciętnego mieszkańca Rybnika i okolic. Przedstawienie modelu ekonomiki użytkowania wodomierza wody bezzwrotnej wskaże potencjalnym i obecnym użytkownikom próg opłacalności zakupu i użytkowania takiego wodomierza. Do badania opłacalności stosowania liczników wody bezzwrotnej użyto dwóch wskaźników, stosowanych w analizie kosztów i korzyści, a mianowicie: okresu zwrotu nakładów poniesionych na instalacje wodomierzy (T) oraz wartości zaktualizowanej netto (NPV). Dodatkowo przeprowadzona analiza i prognoza zużycia wody zwrotnej i bezzwrotnej pozwoli na lepsze dostosowanie się PWiK Rybnik do potrzeb odbiorców, co może istotnie wpłynąć na kreowanie i podtrzymywanie pozytywnego wizerunku przedsiębiorstwa.
