There are workspaces and housing without proper access to water and sanitation that disproportionately impact low-income, rural, and migrant households. The cost of much-needed infrastructure upgrades is passed down through water bills, hitting customers struggling to cover basic expenses. And despite interest and desire, community members can’t easily access decision-making processes that dictate how we care for and sustain water for generations to come.enCreative Commons BY-NC-ND 4.0-USrenter's rightswater access & affordabilitywater infrastructureArticle
