Challenges
- Aging infrastructure
Drinking water is delivered via one million miles of pipes across the country. Many of those pipes were laid in the early to mid-20th century with a lifespan of 75 to 100 years. Aging water pipe infrastructure leads to pipe degradation and main breaks. - Water quality
Decaying pipes can be plagued with heavy tuberculation, biological buildup, and corrosion. - High maintenance costs
Aging pipes require more maintenance, and pumps must work harder because of corrosion and mineral buildup – resulting in pumps wearing out quicker and higher energy costs.
