In his column, AWWA Executive Director Jack Hoffbuhr discusses how undervalued our water supply is in today's society. He stresses the need for better communication of the total worth of water service in terms of public health, job creation, fire protection, and standard of living. He states that AWWA's recent report, “Avoiding Rate Shock: Making the Case for Water Rates,” outlines the need to emphasize that safe drinking water must be valued as a vital service and not simply viewed as a low‐cost product.
