非营利组织Food & Water Watch的最新研究显示，美国家庭在过去十年间为饮用水支付的费用增加了62%1。这一涨幅明显超过了同期通货膨胀率、食品价格升幅以及家庭收入增速1。
该研究基于对美国500个最大公共水务系统2025年账单数据的分析，涵盖约1.55亿人口，占全国总人口的45%1。研究人员将这些数据与Food & Water Watch在2015年进行的调查结果进行了对比1。需要说明的是，此项研究仅涉及饮用水费用，不包括污水处理费和雨水费用1。
Food & Water Watch认为，营利性水务公司、联邦削支以及气候危机"加速推升"了水费上涨1。
According to a new analysis by Food & Water Watch, American household drinking water costs have surged 62% over the past ten years, a rate that outpaces inflation, food price growth, and increases in household income 1. The nonprofit organization examined billing data from 2025 across the 500 largest public water systems in the United States, representing approximately 155 million people, or 45% of the national population, and compared these figures with data from a 2015 Food & Water Watch survey 1.
Food & Water Watch attributes the steep rise to several factors, including for-profit water utilities, federal budget cuts, and the climate crisis, which the organization says have "accelerated" the upward pressure on water rates 1. The research focuses specifically on drinking water charges and does not include wastewater treatment fees or stormwater charges 1.
