Byron - As discussed yesterday, here is the draft concept paper for a Water Ratepayer Assistance Program. We did research to evaluate several existing programs as potential models, with the LIHEAP program rising to the top as possibly the best model. The objective is to make funding available to assist low income and other in-need populations to free up or incentivize utilities to raise rates to more fully recover the cost of providing the service. So with minimal federal funding you can remove some of the shackles from utilities/municipalities and enable them to make investments at levels we could never get to with a federal funding program alone.
Happy to discuss when you have had a chance to digest this. This is still not a fully fleshed out concept, but it has a lot of traction/support from the municipal clean water community.
