Earlier this month, a report from the American Society of Civil Engineers gave America’s infrastructure an overall grade of C-. The nation’s water infrastructure fell below that average with a C- for drinking water infrastructure, a D+ for wastewater infrastructure, and a D for stormwater infrastructure. Although these grades represent a modest improvement over the 2017 grades, there is much work to be done.
Climate change makes the investment in water-related infrastructure even more imperative. Changing natural conditions demonstrate the vulnerability of existing infrastructure and the need for resiliency. Drought, floods, fires, warming water temperatures, and other extreme weather patterns are occurring more often, and they present significant challenges to those responsible for providing drinking water and for managing wastewater and stormwater.
