#2: Water on tap - Subsidies increase waste and reduce reliability
In this episode of Tap’d In, hosts Jordan and Lana examine the pitfalls of current water pricing systems, inspired by insights from David Zetland's Living with Water Scarcity. Many utilities rely on hidden subsidies and flawed pricing structures, like increasing block rates, which encourage overconsumption and unfairly impact certain customer groups. The episode explores the environmental and financial consequences of these unsustainable practices as well as potential solutions. Jordan and Lana also unpack the complexities of balancing the interests of utilities, customers, and the environment, shedding light on the critical role of regulation.
