Water

Water is essential to everyday life. However, there can be issues related to provision, service and affordability. QCOSS works to ensure fair and equitable access to water and wastewater services as part of its commitment to policy and advocacy on the part of low income consumers. Our work includes: input to policy decisions related to water; input to the regulatory framework; working with utility companies to make sure that they offer support to consumers who might have difficulty paying bills; education and publicity around water issues; and working to make sure that relevant concessions are available to consumers.
