US households pay 62% more for water than a decade ago
Original: US households pay 62% more for water than they did a decade ago, study finds
A new study finds that US households are paying 62% more for water than they did ten years ago. The sharp rise far outpaces general inflation, adding to pressure on family budgets and renewing debate over ageing water infrastructure, utility costs and who bears the burden of upgrades.
Why now: The steep reported increase in a basic household cost is striking amid ongoing concerns about inflation and cost of living.
