In Austin, Texas, water bills rose by *** U.S. dollars between 2010 and 2018, an increase of *** percent. The sharp rising costs has left many in the United States with unaffordable water bills, especially in low income areas in cities such as New Orleans, Cleveland, and Santa Fe. U.S. water crisis One of the reasons for the rising water bills in the U.S. is the aging and deteriorating water infrastructure. In addition to rising bills, outdated treatment plants with leaking pipes have resulted in harmful toxins and chemicals contaminating drinking water. A number of highly populated cities in the U.S. have been found to have high concentrations of PFAs in tap water, exposing millions of people to potentially unsafe drinking water.

Of the selected cities shown, many of the highest tap water prices in 2021 are in European cities, with the most expensive in Moscow, Russia at ***** U.S. dollars per 100 cubic meters. This was followed by Vancouver, Canada where 100 cubic meters of water costed ***** U.S. dollars.

Of the selected cities shown, many of the lowest drinking water prices are in Asia. Mumbai, India had the lowest average tap water price in 2021, at just **** U.S. dollars per 100 cubic meters.

Over the past five years, water supply and irrigation systems companies have experienced modest growth, primarily driven by increased water prices due to scarcity. Prolonged droughts in regions like Texas, California, and Arizona have heightened dependence on surface water, escalating demand and prices. While the residential construction sector struggled with high interest rates in recent years, 2024 has seen these rates lowered, setting up a revival in demand from the residential segment. Meanwhile, growth in the commercial market has been constrained due to increased remote and hybrid work, keeping office rental vacancies high and impacting water consumption. Overall, industry revenue has grown at a CAGR of 3.7% over the past five years, reaching an estimated $121.5 billion after a 0.7% increase in 2025. Despite rising revenues, profit has been greatly challenged as industry players strive to comply with stringent government regulations. The introduction of the EPA's national drinking water standards for PFAS and lead mandates extensive infrastructure upgrades, increasing operational costs. However, government funding, such as the $1 billion allocated for PFAS testing and treatment, offers support to mitigate these financial challenges. The US water supply system has seen increased privatization in recent years, with private companies purchasing rights to operate public utilities and upgrading aging infrastructure. Additionally, consolidation is ongoing as larger public utility companies acquire smaller, less efficient distribution systems. The much-needed investment in these systems has raised investment needs, causing more profit declines. The water supply and irrigation systems industry is on track to expand in the future period. This growth will be fueled by ongoing privatization efforts and consolidation within the sector. The persistent issues of climate change, water shortages, conservation needs and aging infrastructure will increase demand and prices and prompt significant improvement projects for water systems. Anticipated rises in housing starts will futher support demand for water supplies. Overall, revenue is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 0.2% to $123.0 billion through the end of 2030.

In the past ten years, the monthly combined water and sewer bills in the United States have increased constantly. The monthly water and sewage utility bills in 2023 amounted to approximately 120.7 U.S. dollars, representing an increase of 3.9 percent compared to the previous year.

Municipal-level population characteristics, cost of water, and water utility policies.

This is a layer of water service boundaries for 45,973 community water systems that deliver tap water to 307.7 million people in the US. This amounts to 97% of the population reportedly served by active community water systems and 93% of active community water systems. The layer is based on multiple data sources and a methodology developed by SimpleLab and collaborators called a Tiered, Explicit, Match, and Model approach–or TEMM, for short. The name of the approach reflects exactly how the nationwide data layer was developed. The TEMM is composed of three hierarchical tiers, arranged by data and model fidelity. First, we use explicit water service boundaries provided by states. These are spatial polygon data, typically provided at the state-level. We call systems with explicit boundaries Tier 1. In the absence of explicit water service boundary data, we use a matching algorithm to match water systems to the boundary of a town or city (Census Place TIGER polygons). When multiple water systems match to the same TIGER boundary, we employ a "best match" algorithm that assigns one water system to one TIGER place based on features like population served and other locational information about the water system. Finally, in the absence of an explicit water service boundary (Tier 1) or a TIGER place polygon match (Tier 2), a statistical model trained on explicit water service boundary data (Tier 1) is used to estimate a reasonable radius at provided water system centroids, and model a spherical water system boundary (Tier 3). Water system centroids are taken from the ECHO database; however, where a system centroid is labeled as a county or state centroid, we take several steps to assign a better centroid (using sources like UCMR or TIGER). A summary of the systems and population assigned to different tiers is as follows:

Population coverage rates per Tier, for systems with population reported: - Tier 1: 49.3% population covered (155,869,771 people) - Tier 2: 35.13% population covered (111,074,087 people) - Tier 3: 12.9% population covered (40,771,645 people)

Active community water systems coverage rates per Tier: - Tier 1: 35.7% system covered (17645 systems) - Tier 2: 22.42% system covered (11079 systems) - Tier 3: 34.9% system covered (17249 systems) - No Tier/Geometry: 6.98% system covered (3451 systems)

Several limitations to this data exist–and the layer should be used with these in mind. The case of assigning a Census Place TIGER polygon to the "best match" water system first introduced in v2.0.0 requires further validation. Tier 3 boundaries have modeled radii stemming from a lat/long centroid of a water system facility; but the underlying lat/long centroids for water system facilities are of variable quality. It is critical to evaluate the "geometry quality" column (included from the EPA ECHO data source) when looking at Tier 3 boundaries; fidelity is very low when geometry quality is a county or state centroid– but we did not exclude the data from the layer. Since v 2.0.0 we have improved the percentage of Tier 3 geometries with state centroids and county centroids from 50% of Tier 3 boundaries to 30% of Tier 3 boundaries. Missing water systems are typically those without a centroid, in a U.S. territory, or missing population and connection data. Finally, Tier 1 systems are assumed to be high fidelity, but rely on the accuracy of state data collection and maintenance.

Access to clean and safe water is essential for human health and well-being, but recent and substantial increases in the cost of water for residential customers in the United States endanger the health of those who cannot afford to pay. This study identifies pathways through which unaffordable water bills may influence the behaviors and health of vulnerable people. We interviewed a sample of low-income residential water customers who were experiencing water bill hardship in Boston and Chelsea, Massachusetts, U.S. between October 2018 and December 2019. We conducted a thematic content analysis of interview transcripts. Results showed that some participants improvised ways to pay their water bills, and some confronted obstacles that made it simply impossible to pay at times. Behavioral responses to coping with high water bills were influenced by household earning potential, self-reported health status, caretaking responsibilities, and accessibility of utility assistance programs. Consequences of unaffordable household bills included reduced access to other necessities, debt accumulation, risk of water shutoff, housing insecurity, and public humiliation. Reported health-related impacts of water bill hardship were food insecurity, underutilization of healthcare and medications, and decline in mental health. Comprehensive reforms at all levels of government are needed to make water affordable for all low-income households. Federal investments in water infrastructure, state oversight of affordability and human rights, as well as municipal tiered water pricing and comprehensive assistance policies for low-income households are needed to address the growing water affordability crisis and to mitigate harm to the well-being of vulnerable residents and communities in the United States.

The Water and Air Quality Testing Services industry has weather volatility, navigating changes across downstream construction, business spending and government funding that the industry relies on. Most companies rely on long-term client contracts that create stable expenditures on testing laboratories, underpinned by required quality regulation. However, the economy was upended by the pandemic, resulting in a contraction in industrial production, slowing commercial construction and producing wild swings in commodity prices. While this briefly slowed water and air quality testing spending, low interest rates spurred investment in new residential housing. At the same time, the federal government made unprecedented investments in modernizing the nation’s infrastructure, producing a surge in spending on industry testing services. The industry is thus forecast to see revenue rise at a CAGR of 2.5% to $9.5 billion through 2025, including growth of 2.6% in 2025 alone.COVID-19 created a singular opportunity for government spending. In 2021, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) allocated $1.2 trillion in spending on roads, bridges, airports and broadband. In 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) made the single largest investment in climate and energy in US history, including a record $296.0 investment in air monitoring. These bills have raised federal spending on infrastructure to levels unseen in decades, with new projects translating into greater reliance on water and air quality testing. These spending packages come on the heels of a push for more stringent environmental regulation. The 2014 water quality crisis in Flint, MI, has cast a long shadow, underscoring the need for greater oversight by regulatory bodies and fostering the conditions for investment in infrastructure modernization.Water and air quality testing services will grow as a result of expanding construction markets and rising infrastructure spending on the part of the federal government. With funding from the BIL and IRA set to flow, municipal governments will invest in water systems testing and infrastructure upgrades. Testing companies will be essential in feasibility studies and post-completion environmental analysis, and partnerships with state and local governments for lead sampling programs will become more common. Through 2030, industry revenue is anticipated to rise at a CAGR of 3.3% to 11.2 billion. Likewise, profit will remain healthy amid favorable spending trends among the industry’s client base, with consolidation rising as companies look to acquire laboratories that can meet turnaround and accreditation standards established by new federal laws.

The sustainability of water resources in future decades is likely to be affected by increases in water demand due to population growth, increases in power generation, and climate change. This study presents water withdrawal projections in the United States (U.S.) in 2050 as a result of projected population increases and power generation at the county level as well as the availability of local renewable water supplies. The growth scenario assumes the per capita water use rate for municipal withdrawals to remain at 2005 levels and the water use rates for new thermoelectric plants at levels in modern closed-loop cooling systems. In projecting renewable water supply in future years, median projected monthly precipitation and temperature by sixteen climate models were used to derive available precipitation in 2050 (averaged over 2040–2059). Withdrawals and available precipitation were compared to identify regions that use a large fraction of their renewable local water supply. A water supply sustainability risk index that takes into account additional attributes such as susceptibility to drought, growth in water withdrawal, increased need for storage, and groundwater use was developed to evaluate areas at greater risk. Based on the ranking by the index, high risk areas can be assessed in more mechanistic detail in future work.
