#6: Water for the community - Citizens must hold their leaders to account
In this episode of Tap’d In, hosts Jordan and Lana examine the complexities of managing water resources for the benefit of all, guided by David Zetland's Living with Water Scarcity. The episode highlights the limitations of relying solely on politics or monopolistic utilities, which often result in conflicts of interest and suboptimal outcomes. Zetland advocates for a blend of economic mechanisms—like performance insurance and market-based competition—paired with increased community involvement and transparency to improve performance and ensure accountability. Using real-world case studies, Jordan and Lana explore the potential for a more customer-centric and sustainable model of water service.
