Understanding the Cost of Basic Drinking Water Services in the United States: A National Assessment

<p xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" dir="auto" id="d5355095e111">The cost of basic drinking water services has implications for affordability, investment capacity, and public health. The fragmentation of drinking water services in the United States makes it difficult to reliably track and compare what customers pay for basic drinking water services. This paper uses a new, national dataset to examine the social, political, environmental, and institutional drivers of the cost of basic drinking water services, measured as the cost to households of 6000 gal of water per month. We find basic drinking water service costs vary widely across the United States. Costs are generally higher in smaller and more liberal cities and lower in places that rely on groundwater sources. Our findings provide a unique national perspective on variation in, and drivers of, the cost of basic water services and can inform efforts to improve the affordability, accessibility, and quality of drinking water services in the United States. </p>

Israel has bombed one of Gaza’s only operational water desalination plants that was supplying clean drinking water to the strip. Many Palestinians now fear dying of thirst before being killed in the ongoing bombardment."
