Water here is scandalously cheap already. So if/when things get bad, sure, it will get more expensive. But I think it'll be a while before a small house for two retirees racks up a painful water bill. If you have a 4k s/f house with three kids, a pool and lots of grass and landscaping, that'd be a different matter. That's not how most of the houses in Sun City are.
Thanks. I'm not so concerned about water quality or bills, although I know that's a concern. It is long term property values and just lack of water availability at some point. Buy a house now for $200k, water availability becomes a bigger concern and 10 years from now the place is worth way less, or worst case scenario, is unusable. Is that just being paranoid??
