Rebuilding will not be cheap but it is achievable. Continuing a trend that reflects the disrepair and shows no sign of slowing, the price of residential water service in 3. U. S. cities rose faster than the cost of nearly every other household staple last year, according to Circle of Blues annual water pricing survey. The economics of water particularly the cost of treatment, pumping, and new infrastructure, as well as the retail price for consumers gained renewed prominence as California and Texas, Americas two most populous states, face historic droughts and water managers seek to rein in water consumption, with price increases as one tool in their arsenal. The average monthly cost of water for a family of four using 1. It is the smallest year to year change in the six year history of the Circle of Blue survey but comparable to past years. The median increase this year was 4.

In comparison, the Consumer Price Index rose just 1. March, not including the volatile food and energy sectors. Including food and energy, prices fell by 0. For families using 1. The survey results reflect broad trends in the municipal water industry that nearly every U. S. utility must grapple with, according to Andrew Ward, a director of U. S. public finance for Fitch Ratings, a credit agency. Distribution pipes, which can branch for thousands of miles beneath a single city, have aged beyond their shelf life and crack open daily. Some assessments peg the national cost of repairing and replacing old pipes at more than US 1 trillion over the next two decades. In addition, new treatment technologies are needed to meet Safe Drinking Water Act and Clean Water Act requirements, and cities must continue to pay down existing debts. At the same time, conservation measures have proven successful. Utilities are selling less water, but they still need big chunks of revenue to cover the substantial cost of building and maintaining a water system. All together, these and other factors amount to a persistent upward pressure on water rates. We expect water rates to continue to grow above inflation for some time, Ward told Circle of Blue. We dont see an end in sight. Sewer Prices Higher Than Water. For the first time, Circle of Blues survey includes sewer prices and fees for controlling urban runoff from rainstorms. Together, the three charges water, sewer, and stormwater provide a complete picture of the rising cost of water for families in the countrys largest cities. Graphic Kaye La. Fond Circle of Blue. Residential water prices for 3. U. S. cities for three consumption levels from 2. Click for a high resolution file. Atlanta US 3. 25. Seattle US 3. 09. Both cities have high sewer rates, which pay for multibillion dollar investments in new treatment facilities. Both cities are also operating under legal agreements with the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency to reduce polluted sewer flows. These agreements, called consent decrees, typically require massive investments in wastewater treatment capacity and affect more than 4. U. S. cities. Consent decrees and other EPA clean water mandates are the foremost drivers of sewer rate increases, according to Brent Fewell, a partner at the law firm Troutman Sanders and a former EPA assistant administrator for water. Federal grants that helped build the generation of sewage treatment plants in the decade following the passage of the Clean Water Act in 1. Congress and are not coming back, Fewell added in an interview with Circle of Blue. Cities now finance those projects on their own. Memphis US 5. 5. Salt Lake City US 5. Conservation Success. Though rates are steadily increasing, residents are lowering bills by using less water. Indeed, many households are conserving. Austin, Texas, for example, sold nearly 1. The city achieved this by dramatically increasing its rates for the highest volume users while enforcing lawn watering restrictions that were prompted by a record drought, according to David Anders, assistant director of finance for Austin Water. Austin is not alone. Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and Phoenix are among the many cities where total water use is dropping. Nationally, residential water use dropped nearly 7 percent between 2. U. S. Geological Survey. Its an industry challenge right now, Anders told Circle of Blue. Even when were not under drought conditions were seeing per capita use go down. New Recipe for Revenue. Just as in the declining revenue available to build and repair highways the result of rising costs, more fuel efficient vehicles, and less driving financing water systems is a challenge because of the mismatch between the costs to operate a water utility and the utilitys revenue source. Roughly 8. 0 percent of a utilitys costs such as debt payments are fixed, meaning they must be paid regardless of how much water is consumed. But residents pay for water primarily based on the volume used, which typically accounts for 8. The new reality for utilities is how to bring those numbers into closer alignment. And they must do so without making small amounts of water for basic needs unaffordable. Revenue stability, conservation, and affordability for the poorest residents this is the juggling act at hand. Ward of Fitch Ratings says he sees experimentation taking place as utilities are forced to confront the water wise practices of the modern urbanite. But because utilities are inherently conservative institutions, those experiments are in increments, he says, not great leaps. Prices are primarily based on the cost to treat and deliver water. Though drought is reducing water availability across the West, few utilities include the scarcity of water in the price that residents pay. The most daring of the 3. Circle of Blues survey, and an example of where the entire industry is headed, is Austin Water. After a revenue shock in 2. Austin Water had to be bold. That year, the utility lost US 5. Anders said. A rainy summer meant that Austinites did not water their lawns as often and the utility did not sell enough of its product water to make budget. An advisory committee set up in the wake of the shortfall recommended that Austin Water find financial footing by earning more dollars through fixed fees, which are paid regardless of the volume of water consumed. In response, the utility raised its fixed fee and added a second fixed fee that is based on consumption. The change was rapid. L Ford Powerstroke Turbos Turbocharger Kits. The 6. 4.
