Water is only about 0.8% of CPI & 0.5% in the PCE. Great "methodology"
US households are paying 62% more for drinking water than they did a decade ago – OUTPACING INFLATION, grocery prices & household incomes, according to a new study.
In 2025, the average household using 60,000 gallons of water paid
$531 for drinking water service, according to the study by non-profit Food & Water Watch which compared 2025 billing data to 2015.
Water prices rose 1.6 times FASTER THAN OVERALL INFLATION between 2015 & 2025. Consumer prices increased 39% during that period, compared w/a 62% jump in water bills, according to the study. Water costs also ROSE MORE THAN TWICE AS FAST as groceries, which increased 30%, & eggs, which rose 28%.
Water bills also rose FASTER THAN HOUSEHOLD INCOMES, increasing 19% more than the national median household income between 2014 & 2024, the study found.
