This study asks whether different types of water systems serve different types of communities and differ with respect to affordability. Using 2017 data for California we match service area boundaries with census income data and rate structures to compare the geography, income distribution and affordability of water rates within communities served by systems of different ownership types. We find that for-profit and publicly owned systems serve communities of similar income distributions, while not-for-profit mutual water companies serve higher-income communities. Regulated privately-owned systems charge more for water while providing more low-income assistance and shutting off fewer households than publicly owned systems.

加利福尼亚州的供水系统:所有权、地理位置和可负担性

本研究询问不同类型的供水系统是否服务于不同类型的社区,并在可负担性方面有所不同。我们使用加州 2017 年的数据将服务区边界与人口普查收入数据和费率结构相匹配,以比较不同所有权类型系统所服务社区内的地理、收入分配和水费可负担性。我们发现营利性和公有制系统服务于收入分配相似的社区,而非营利性互助供水公司服务于收入较高的社区。与公有系统相比,受监管的私有系统收取更高的水费,同时提供更多的低收入援助和关闭的家庭。
