In 2023, the total proportion of the US population using safely managed drinking water services was slightly below 99%. Forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 shows a gradual increase, stabilizing at 99.03% from 2025 onwards. This indicates a marginal year-on-year growth, highlighting an overall stability and slight improvement in the accessibility and management of drinking water services in the US. The compound annual growth rate over the five-year period remains minimal due to the already high baseline.
Future trends to watch for:
- Technological advancements in water purification and distribution technologies could improve efficiency and coverage.
- Policy changes addressing environmental challenges could impact water management strategies.
- Monitoring the impact of climate change on water resources and infrastructure resilience.
