- [Resisting the Fix: Pushing Back on the Impulse to Raise Fixed Water Charges](https://allianceforwaterefficiency.org/resisting-fix-pushing-back-impulse-raise-fixed-water-charges/) - In the wake of flat or falling sales revenues, many a water (and energy) utility have turned to the idea of raising fixed charges. This might seem logical, given that water services require substantial fixed infrastructure costs; that is, they are particularly capital intensive. Monopolies are drawn to the idea of loading more costs on less price elastic usage, and welfare economics lends some support to this strategy (the inverse elasticity rule or Ramsey pricing). From a utility’s viewpoint, fixed charges look like a great deal. They primarily reduce revenue risk, shielding finances from the effects of weather, technology, preferences, and behavior. What’s not to like? In terms of core ratemaking principles related to both resource efficiency and ratepayer equity, there’s plenty.[1] Rate design actually offers the chance to align policy goals, this case those of environmental and consumer advocates.

- [Drought + Water Shortages](https://allianceforwaterefficiency.org/resource-category/drought-water-shortages/) - As the impacts of climate change intensify, communities nationwide are experiencing unprecedented and prolonged drought periods. This places significant pressure on local water supplies, making water conservation and efficiency strategies vital. Water providers often develop drought contingency plans as short-term, emergency measures to extend available water supplies. These plans may include temporary watering restrictions, enhanced drought communication, and fines to discourage high water use. It’s not a matter of if, but when, these policies will be necessary. Investing in water conservation when supplies are abundant helps water providers proactively address future shortages, using drought planning as a foundation for long-term water supply resilience.
- [Rates + Affordability](https://allianceforwaterefficiency.org/resource-category/rates-affordability/) - Rate structures and utility billing are essential for agencies to collect revenue to cover service costs. Water and wastewater rates are rising faster than inflation and other utility costs. While rates can be designed to encourage conservation, other factors also shape rate design. As rates rise to cover infrastructure upgrades, inflation, and new regulations, communities are seeking solutions to support residents who struggle with their water and wastewater bills. Water conservation and efficiency programs can help make water more affordable. Examples include retrofits, free direct install programs, leak alerts, and plumbing repair initiatives—valuable strategies that can help reduce bills, especially for those with inefficient fixtures and leaks.
- [Water/Energy Nexus + Climate Change](https://allianceforwaterefficiency.org/resource-category/water-energy-nexus-climate-change/) - Extreme temperatures, changing precipitation patterns, more intense droughts, and rising sea levels all threaten our water resources and infrastructure. Adapting to these changes is crucial for water providers to maintain a reliable supply. Water providers also have a role in mitigating climate change. At home, energy is needed to heat water for daily tasks. At the utility level, energy powers water pumping, conveyance, and treatment. Likewise, the energy sector depends on large quantities of water for cooling. How can water and energy providers collaborate to adapt to and mitigate climate impacts? Conservation and efficiency strategies can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and extend water supplies by minimizing use at both the residential and utility levels.
- [Commercial, Industrial, Institutional (CII)](https://allianceforwaterefficiency.org/resource-category/commercial-industrial-institutional-cii/) - Water use in the commercial, industrial, and institutional (CII) sectors varies widely, encompassing activities such as manufacturing, office operations, hospitality, and healthcare. Implementing common water-efficient technologies, such as smart irrigation solutions, cooling towers, plumbing fixtures, and commercial appliances, can significantly reduce consumption across these sectors. Beyond these more common technologies, process optimization and equipment upgrades tailored to specific industries can further enhance water efficiency. Conducting comprehensive water audits allows businesses and institutions to identify inefficiencies and prioritize areas for improvement. Education and outreach initiatives also play a crucial role in promoting water-saving behaviors among employees and stakeholders. Furthermore, adopting sustainable water management practices not only conserves this precious resource but also mitigates operational costs and enhances corporate social responsibility efforts.
- [Communication/Education](https://allianceforwaterefficiency.org/resource-category/communication-education/) - Water conservation programs succeed when they reach the people they serve. Whether informing customers about new watering restrictions, encouraging rebate program participation, or teaching sustainable landscaping methods, outreach efforts are key to achieving conservation goals. Effective communication empowers individuals to adopt water-saving practices in their daily lives. Building community partnerships ensures programs, policies, and resources align with community needs and values, especially in underserved areas. This may include tailoring messaging, making information accessible across demographics, and creating targeted programs for different customer groups.
- [Planning](https://allianceforwaterefficiency.org/resource-category/planning/) - Water conservation planning by utilities is essential for sustainable management. States and regional governments often develop their own plans too. These efforts involve assessing current water usage, identifying inefficiencies, and implementing measures to reduce waste and optimize resources. Initiatives like infrastructure upgrades, leak detection systems, and consumer education are core elements of these plans. Setting benchmarks allows utilities to track progress and improve over time. Collaborating with stakeholders—including government agencies, community organizations, and industry partners—ensures strategies are effective and locally relevant. Prioritizing conservation planning benefits both utilities and communities, preserving resources and ensuring reliable water access for future generations.
- [Metering + Data](https://allianceforwaterefficiency.org/resource-category/metering-data/) - “You cannot manage what you do not measure.” Water meters are a cornerstone of utility operations, essential for billing and collecting revenue. Without metering, customers lack insight into their water use and have little incentive to conserve. Adopting metering and monthly billing has been shown to reduce consumption. Beyond billing, metering technology provides data that supports analytics, operational improvements, and customer education. Advanced metering infrastructure can deliver real-time data, enabling strategies like leak alerts. Meanwhile, the availability of smart home devices and commercial/multi-family submetering gives residents and facility managers more tools to track and manage water use.
- [Landscapes + Irrigation](https://allianceforwaterefficiency.org/resource-category/landscapes-irrigation/) - Outdoor water efficiency focuses on smart landscape choices, irrigation equipment, controllers, and watering schedules. Outdoor use is often the largest end-use of water in a community and is heavily influenced by weather. Climate change is expected to increase outdoor water demands. Thoughtful projects can deliver multiple benefits, such as improved local water quality through reduced runoff, urban heat reduction through increased shade, and expanded habitats for pollinators. Effective outdoor water management can help communities lower costs by reducing peak demand and deferring infrastructure expansion. Strategies include landscape transformations, optimized irrigation, smart technology, educational outreach, land use policies, and rainwater reuse.
- [Indoor Water Efficiency](https://allianceforwaterefficiency.org/resource-category/indoor-water-efficiency/) - Indoor water efficiency programs aim to reduce consumption in residential and commercial buildings. These efforts often include water-saving codes and standards that require efficient fixtures like high-efficiency toilets, faucets, and showerheads. Effective implementation and enforcement of these standards maximize their impact. Education and outreach further promote water-saving behaviors, such as prompt leak repairs and mindful water use. Retrofitting older buildings with efficient fixtures also helps reduce demand and improve affordability, contributing to overall water conservation efforts.
- [Water Loss](https://allianceforwaterefficiency.org/resource-category/water-loss/) - Utility water loss control programs are vital for identifying and reducing water loss in systems. These programs involve assessing infrastructure—like pipelines, meters, and storage—to detect leaks and inefficiencies. Regular audits help minimize non-revenue water, conserving resources and reducing costs. Advanced technologies, such as acoustic sensors and data analytics, are key in accurately identifying leaks. Evaluating operational practices also ensures effective water management and informs repair and renewal decisions. By controlling water loss, utilities maintain sustainable systems that benefit the environment and the community.
