Hi ya, So glad to have you back again. Do leave a comment for what you want to see. Thanks for coming.
State of the United States
Water Infrastructure
The Water Innovations Alliance (WIA) recently completed an assessment of the state of the U.S. water infrastructure, which was given an overall grade of D- by the American Society of Civil Engineers in its most recent infrastructure report card.
Underlying that nearly failing grade, the WIA produced some startling statistics in a recent newsletter (not yet posted to their website):
- More than 20% of water treatment systems in the U.S. — serving 49 million people — have violated provisions of the Safe Drinking Water Act at some point in the past 5 years.
- About 15% of municipal water is lost to leaks, representing 7 billion gallons of clean drinking water PER DAY.
- The U.S. water system represents more than 4% of total U.S. electricity usage.
- Up to 20 years of significant investment are required to stabilize and modernize the U.S. water infrastructure, with around $300 billion capital required. More>>>
