Infrastructure Investment
Water infrastructure has been chronically underfunded. According to the most recent Infrastructure Report Card by the American Society of Civil Engineers, the Drinking Water, Wastewater, and Stormwater sectors received grades of C-, D+, and D, respectively. However, recent policy shifts, including federal legislation and increased digitalization of the water sector, are driving innovative infrastructure solutions.
