Distributed Infrastructure as an Affordability Strategy

Distributed infrastructure can advance utility objectives and affordability at the same time.

  • Changing out water-wasting fixtures and appliances can lower consumer water bills, while increasing supply reliability for the community.
  • Green stormwater infrastructure can reduce stormwater fees and help meet stormwater capture goals.
  • Replacing lead service lines lifts the financial burden from families, while addressing a major public health problem.
