NRDC offers a 5-part framework to address water affordability, as EPA’s Environmental Financial Advisory Board meets tomorrow. Read below for a summary and our full comments. nrdc.org/bio/larry-levi…
Attn water utility managers: Find out why helping low-income customers afford their bills is not only good for your public health mission, but also for your bottom line:
Attn water utility managers: Find out why helping low-income customers afford their bills is not only good for your public health mission, but also for your bottom line:
We need safe drinking water. The @EPA recently announced a proposal to help get lead out of drinking water – and we need your help to make it a reality. Tell the EPA to finalize strong regulations! tinyurl.com/yrgv57vc
We often assume that discounts to low-income customers come at a cost to the utility - but in reality, it's unaffordable bills that hurt the bottom line. Ensuring affordability benefits the utility and everyone it serves!

This is really cool work - "But if you send customers bills they can afford given their household income, they’re much more likely to pay those bills on time, in full, and voluntarily (i.e., without the utility expending resources to collect unpaid bills)."

More great work by @llevine_nrdc et al on water affordability. This time, re: the "business case" for customer support. "In short, unaffordable water bills are a money-loser for utilities, which can threaten a utility’s financial stability." nrdc.org/bio/larry-levi…
Water utilities worry about covering their costs—and so do their customers. There’s a new tool for utilities to evaluate how helping low-income customers afford their bills can help the utility’s bottom line. Check out my blog below and download the tool! nrdc.org/bio/larry-levi…

The best thing about the new strategic plan is that everyone got to give input before I rejected it and did what I always planned to do anyway.
We are developing our learnings through talkings with groupings over lunchings and walkings.
The first day of our strategic planning session will be a deep dive into why we ignored our last strategic plan.

🚨TOMORROW: Join me to hear about water affordability as I chair my first hearing with the Fisheries, Water, and Wildlife Subcommittee at 11:30 AM PT/2:30 PM ET! Together, we'll talk about the rising cost of water and the impact of aging water infrastructure and extreme weather.
🗓️ 5/31 at 2:30pm ET: @EPWCmte will discuss water affordability and the challenges for small and rural water systems. Drinking water in the U.S. should be safe and affordable! Tune in! epw.senate.gov/public/index.c… 🙏 @SenAlexPadilla for inviting @CWaterC’s Kyle Jones to speak.
