Leading The Way in Conserving Water
• Water is our planet’s most precious resource. Each day, 6 billion gallons of clean, treatable drinking water is wasted throughout the world due to crumbling infrastructure.
• Currently, $40 billion is being spent annually in an effort to locate and remediate water, sewer and pipe leaks.
• In the U.S. alone, the Environmental Protection Agency estimates that over the next 20 years, $400 billion will be needed to repair, replace and upgrade America’s water systems.
