University of Texas Study Uncovers Significant Projected Gap between Actual Water Costs and Subsidies Provided to Low-Income Housing Residents via Multi-Housing News Online

NWP Services Corporation (NWP), in collaboration with the McCombs School of Business at The University of Texas at Austin, recently released the results of an MBA-student study exploring a wide range of water management, cost and conservation issues, including key takeaways for municipalities and governments who hope to keep ahead of the rising cost of water subsidies for low-income housing and voucher recipients.

The study was conducted by Texas MBA graduate student Rob Schimmel and sponsored by the Energy Management & Innovation Center at McCombs. NWP, a leading provider of utility management, resident and property operation services, was the industry partner and sponsor for the research.
