I sent this to my senators and representative:
I am very concerned about the availability of clean, inexpensive water for my home's drinking and cooking. Bottled water is too expensive and contributes to plastic pollution. My local water company cannot guarantee uninterrupted service, nor purity, and the cost increases every year.
I would like to supply my home with drinking and cooking water from Source Hydropanels installed on or near my home. Does the government have, or do you plan to offer, rebates or other incentives for this technology? If not, I suggest this would be a valuable and beneficial program.
If you are unfamiliar with Source (previously Zero Mass Water), see https://www.source.co/residential/ [google 'source water company'. For our family of 6, the two panels would cost $5,500 to $6,500 and provide 10 liters (~2.6 gallons) per day drinking/cooking water for at least 15 years (~55,000 gallons) for ~$0.10/gallon. It would be helpful to have some kind of tax credit, rebate, low-cost loans, or other help with the cost.
This technology could provide a service similar to the solar power/battery systems that are reducing the need for PG&E electricity while assuring customers an uninterrupted supply of electricity. Providing drinking and cooking water would similarly reduce the demand on water resources and ensure a reliable, safe source of water. This would be especially important during the increasingly frequent natural disasters, such as hurricanes and other weather-related disasters, earthquakes, fires, droughts, etc.
