Mitigating Water Cost Increases
On May 22, 2025, Willis Hon moderated a panel on “Mitigating Water Cost Increases” during the 2025 California Water Association Spring Policy Symposium. As California continues to face infrastructure, regulatory and climate-related pressures, how can water utilities protect affordability while maintaining service investment? This panel explored customer-focused strategies to manage water costs, from rate assistance and grants to system consolidations and regulatory innovation.
The California Water Association (CWA) represents the interests of California investor-owned water companies by providing a forum for sharing best management practices, promoting sound water policy with legislators and regulatory agencies and educating the public about the protection and efficient use of water resources.
