Professor Sharmila L. Murthy of the Northeastern University School of Law is featured in this edition of Hall Center Virtual Grand Rounds. The increasing unaffordability of household water—which threatens basic water access for millions of Americans—requires a re-examination of the key tenets of water utility law. Utilities often interpret these principles as prohibiting any form of cross subsidization, which prevents them from using water revenue to fund affordability programs, even when it may make financial sense. The talk will highlight several examples from across the country to demonstrate how states or local governments could modify their utility laws to overcome legal barriers to affordability. The presentation will conclude with a suggested policy reform: developing a model state law through the Uniform Law Commission.
