The Texas Affiliation of Affordable Housing Providers (TAAHP) recently published an ION Water analysis exposing the true cost of invisible water waste in affordable housing. More than half of all water paid for at affordable housing properties is lost to leaks — running toilets, aging water heaters, and faulty fixtures that go undetected for weeks or months. Industry-wide, that adds up to 390 billion gallons and $5.8 billion lost every year. The piece makes the case for unit-level visibility and real-time alerts as the only reliable path to stabilized water costs, predictable NOI, and stronger financial performance across portfolios.
