Cost and waste (in both distribution and container disposal) are obvious issues. Privatization and public access to quality drinking water may be less obvious. Impacts on water distribution infrastructure is worth considering. * As cities grow, it might be interesting to consider separation of potable and utility water supplies. * For example, lawn watering, clothes or dish washing, and toilet flushing present different water quality needs than drinking and cooking. * As cities grow, dependence on "backup" water supplies, and potential compromises in the quality of water sources increase concerns about quality.In some systems, horror stories about water supplies downstream of sewage treatment plants (or industrial discharges) may justify concerns about quality. * In most systems, the answer may be to split the water supply, with extra treatment provided by the end user, for drinking, cooking, or other personal consumption or contact.

Note that wildfire, flooding, and winter storms, as well as search and rescue operations, offer opportunities for testing prior to the next major disaster.
(Since Katrina, search and rescue operations appear to have come a long way...)

10% of Americans are paying over 50% of income for housing costs. 30% of income is considered "cost burdened". 35% of households experience dysfunctional housing - including overcrowding, homelessness, inadequate conditions, or high cost relative to income.
