Task force reviews funding options: bottled-water fees, sales-tax scenarios and data-center levies
Legislative research updated revenue estimates for options to support the state water plan: a per-bottle fee (1c per 16.9 oz bottle could yield roughly $72045M if limited to single-serve bottles), increases to state sales tax (0.1% could raise ~ $61M in FY2027), and emerging questions about data-center water use and electricity exports. Legal and administrative complexities were highlighted.
