Water privatization has been proposed as both a solution to and an exacerbator of these challenges, but its potential consequences have not been investigated on a national scale. Data from the US Environmental Protection Agency's Safe Drinking Water Information System and the US Center for Disease Control's Environmental Justice Index were used to assess the spatial distribution of water injustice hotspots, water system violations, and water system ownership. These data were merged with a nationally representative survey of US residents that measured how people perceive their water across different water injustice indicators. Results indicated that water system violations were not randomly distributed across the United States and risks of exposure to water injustice appeared to cluster in certain locations as hotspots. Clusters of water system violations were spatially associated with private water system ownership. Hotspots of water injustice were more often surrounded by counties with low proportions of privately owned water systems than counties with high proportions. Results also suggested that individuals living in areas with higher water injustice perceived their water as lower quality and less reliable. Water system ownership moderated this relationship. Recommendations for policymakers are discussed, including how to build collaborative decision\u2010making processes that account for both objective and subjective measures of water injustice.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/risa.70012","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,15]],"date-time":"2025-04-15T05:11:36Z","timestamp":1744693896000},"page":"3337-3353","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Mapping risks of water injustice and perceptions of privatized drinking water in the United States: A mixed methods approach"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"45","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6387-2197","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alex","family":"Segr\u00e8 Cohen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Journalism and Communication and Center for Science Communication Research University of Oregon  Eugene Oregon USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Catherine E.","family":"Slavik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Journalism and Communication and Center for Science Communication Research University of Oregon  Eugene Oregon USA"},{"name":"Banting Postdoctoral Fellow Canadian Institutes of Health Research  Ottawa Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sami","family":"Kurani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"GIS Specialist  Toronto Ontario Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6065-0705","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Joseph","family":"\u00c1rvai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology, and Wrigley Institute for Environmental Studies University of Southern California  Los Angeles California USA"},{"name":"Decision Research  Eugene Oregon USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","unstructured":"Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry.
