Impact analysis
If new regulations pass, companies might face higher operational costs, but residents could save money by avoiding the need for expensive new water infrastructure.
Local homeowners and farmers who rely on the aquifer for their daily water needs stand to gain the most from stricter pumping limits.
CCW and other industrial water users might see their profits dip if they are forced to pump less water.
