*All analyses include fixed-effect control variables for monthly indicator variables and facility-level catchment population.

Mean represents average monthly number of system outputs across facilities included in a given analysis and across a given time period using a linear mixed model controlling for clustering at the facility level and employing an AR(1) structure to control for autocorrelation in residual errors.
