Episode Synopsis

In this episode of Tap’d In, hosts Jordan and Lana break down the looming water rate hikes affecting millions of Californians, particularly in San Diego County. According to an SFGate report, water costs could surge by up to 70% by the end of the decade, driven by rising expenses for imported water, infrastructure maintenance, and operational costs. Despite investments in storage, desalination, and recycled water, consumers are bearing the financial burden. Jordan and Lana explore the economic and policy factors behind these rate hikes, whether there are fairer alternatives, and what this means for the future of water affordability in California.Article: https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/water-rate-hike-california-20209007.phpLinks: Tap: https://findtap.com/ PodSnacks (Podcast Summaries): https://www.podsnacks.org/
