In his monthly column, AWWA Executive Director Jack Hoffbuhr discusses the importance of the value of water as opposed to the cost of water. He stresses the myriad benefits we receive from water such as the value of being healthy so we can be productive, the value of a consistent supply of safe water, and the worth of a village and lives made possible by safe drinking water. He states that instead of focusing on costs of supplying water and water rates, it would be more beneficial to stress the value and the multitude of benefits we receive from water.
