The Value of Water
Every 100 gallons of municipal supply = $8.45 in the local economy…
Every $1 invested in water infrastructure adds $6.35 to GDP…
![Page 4: Water Service and the Challenges Ahead](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102912/568168fd550346895de009e5/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The Value of Water• Every new job in water and sewer
creates over 3.6 jobs in the national economy…
• But the true value of water is…
• Beyond Measure!

Crunch the numbers…
![Page 12: Water Service and the Challenges Ahead](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102912/568168fd550346895de009e5/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Key FindingsThe needs are very large…
About $1 Trillion over next 25 years…
Household water bills will go up…

Water Demand is Going Down
![Page 19: Water Service and the Challenges Ahead](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102912/568168fd550346895de009e5/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Based on an analysis of six utilities ranging is size from 55,000 SFR accounts to 480,000 SFR accounts; The trend line represents the average of the six utilities.

Unfortunately…
• Utility Costs:• High Fixed / Low Variable (80/20)
• Utility Revenues• Low Fixed / High Variable (90/10)

So We Have…
Rising investment needs…
Declining water sales…
Possibly unbalanced rate structures…

But Wait, there’s More…

Big Regulatory Issues
• Advanced WW treatment• Storm water • Lead and Copper Rule• Implementing the Revised Total
Coliform Rule• More coming in the near future…

Some May Not Make Sense
Examples
Municipal storm water controls in the face of uncontrolled agricultural run off?
Drinking water standard for nitrosamines?
![Page 29: Water Service and the Challenges Ahead](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102912/568168fd550346895de009e5/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
A Huge Question…
![Page 30: Water Service and the Challenges Ahead](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102912/568168fd550346895de009e5/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
The Affordability of Water Mandates
Can consumption-based bills can raise the revenues some systems will need at levels that are affordable to low income customers?
![Page 31: Water Service and the Challenges Ahead](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102912/568168fd550346895de009e5/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
The Affordability of Water Mandates
Can consumption-based bills can raise the revenues some systems will need at levels that are affordable to low income customers?
Is there a better alternative?

WIFIA: Part of the Answer
- Low interest loans- Very cost effective- Highly leveraged- Can be used to leverage other capital- States and utilities can borrow
