Study on tap water affordability promising for low-income areas - Arizona PBS

Mar 12, 2025Mar 12, 2025

The Kyl Center for Water Policy recently released a study on tap water affordability in Arizona. The study assessed the rates of 659 water providers across the state against two metrics of affordability. Grant Heminger, Policy and Research Analyst at the Kyl Center for Water Policy, joined us to discuss.

The study found most water systems could increase their rates and stay affordable for homes in low-income areas. The findings also showed in Arizona the monthly costs for tap water are much lower than monthly costs for electric power.
