How Data Gaps in Rulemaking Affect Water Affordability
Water affordability is a critical issue for many households, especially those in smaller communities with relatively high per‐household treatment costs compared with larger systems.
New regulations can increase utility costs, exacerbating affordability issues; small systems and their customers may have difficulty paying to accommodate these new rules.
Significant data gaps show that the water industry needs more—and more accurate—data related to managing drinking water contaminants and paying for infrastructure improvements.
A 2021 study explored analyses that could help regulators better understand and address affordability challenges.
