Michigan study shows water unaffordability across state
A University of Michigan and Michigan State University study, funded by the C.S. Mott Foundation, finds 10 percent of Michigan households spend more than a quarter of income on water and sewer bills, with costs rising since 1980. Detroit and Flint show sharp increases, while rural areas face 5 to 15 percent burdens. researchers call for debt relief, income-based rates, and permanent funding to fix infrastructure.
