Show Notes

Bluefield’s Erin Bonney Casey shares her perspective on her recent analysis of utility water rates and potential impacts of drought on customer water bills. The analysis comes at a time when the Colorado River Basin is under significant threat, so much so that water allocations are being cut for lower basin states. A simple question to ask is, should our water rates go up based on supply and demand?
