Affordability and Equity Considerations for Rate‐Setting
Historically narrow definitions of water service as provision of a metered commodity do not encompass the extent to which all people benefit from access to safe, reliable water. A more expansive definition of water service is warranted.

The industry's existing cost‐of‐service analysis methods for rate‐setting may be tailored to better advance water affordability and equity.
