CORROSION RISKS ON WATER PIPELINES
In 2012, $111 billion was spent on water systems in the U.S. This translates to a 300-year replacement cycle. In 2018, the US Environmental Protection Agency estimated $472.6 billion was needed over the next 20 years in order to revitalize and maintain the nationwide water infrastructure.
The top two industry-wide concerns remain:
-
The need to renew and/or replace much of the existing water systems, and
-
An overall lack of funding in order to perform the renewal and/or replacement work.
