THE REGIONAL NONPROFIT SOLUTION

Two types of water provider serve the vast majority of the U.S. — private investor owned utilities (IOUs) and public community water systems (CWS). These aren’t working for everyone. The not-for-profit model is a compelling alternative that retains the benefits and solves for the shortcomings of both.
