America's Water Crisis

U.S. Infrastructure Report Card:  ‘D-Minus’ For Wastewater and Water  

The 2009 American Infrastructure “Report Card” published by the American Society of Civil Engineers “is an assessment by professional engineers of the nation’s status in 15 categories of infrastructure.”  The assessment cites deteriorating conditions that seriously threaten America’s economy and quality of life. Wastewater and water each received the lowest grades in the entire report:  D-minus.

Public Awareness and Concern Is Mounting

The problems wrought by crumbling or inadequate water and wastewater systems have already taken a toll on many communities and become a growing topic of public concern.  The issue is being brought to light by an extensive variety of government reports, trade publications and major news media. 

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that the U.S. has 1.2 million miles of sewers, including some that are more than a century old.  Sewage spills have become increasingly common throughout the country, posing threats to public health.  A major concern are the combined sewage and stormwater sewer systems that were built in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and are still in operation today, despite critical inadequacies.

While government funding for water and wastewater infrastructure has increased dramatically through the stimulus package for the environmental sector, the amount still falls far short of what is needed long-term, according to most experts. As a result, cost-effective, minimally disruptive and reliable solutions such as SAK’s cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) approach are more important than ever.
