Abstract
Fragmented data across state agencies and subagencies reduce the ability to assess a community water system's overall condition.
Identifying relationships among different dimensions of performance can help assess how well systems respond to challenges.
Balancing affordability with capacity for reliable drinking water delivery over time is an ongoing challenge for many utilities.
Focusing only on safe drinking water compliance in research and oversight may overlook systems with other critical vulnerabilities.
