Summary
Water bills could nearly double in many U.S. cities due to climate-driven strain on aging infrastructure, with Stanford research spotlighting Santa Cruz as a warning bell. Without federal or state intervention, the costs of new desalination, pipelines, and reuse systems will be passed directly to consumers—especially hurting low-income households who use less water but pay a disproportionate share.

The study’s urgent message: we need government action now to ensure everyone has access to safe, affordable water.
