NAWC’s Deane: Infrastructure neglect makes U.S. ‘less competitive’

The National Association of Water Companies (NAWC) joined more than 150 organizations supporting Infrastructure Week 2017, May 15-19, to elevate infrastructure as a critical issue impacting all Americans.

Much of America’s water infrastructure is outdated, overused and underserviced. Many of our water pipes are more than 100 years old – some dating back to the Civil War era – and are in need of replacement. Support for upgrading and revitalizing our infrastructure is bipartisan – it is a known fact that we can no longer afford to defer investment in our nation’s critical infrastructure systems.
