A decade ago, we began polling American voters to better understand their opinions on our nation’s water systems. Today, we are pleased to share the results of our tenth annual Value of Water Index, which sheds light on some of this moment’s most pressing and relevant water issues.
View the 2025 Value of Water Index Takeaways
From voter sentiment on federal support for water systems to the percentage of Americans who have recently faced water service disruptions due to extreme weather, these results provide insights that have strong implications for water-related policy, communications, programming, and more. And while staggering at times, this year’s poll reveals greater bipartisan support for water than we’ve ever seen—showing that water must continue to be a priority at all levels of governance.
We thank the bipartisan research team of Fairbank, Maslin, Maullin, Metz, and Associates (D) and New Bridge Strategy (R) for conducting this polling and the Value of Water Campaign Steering Committee for supporting this work.
