Wastewater Infrastructure & the Environment 7 million dry tons of biosolids recycled yearly.

Wastewater Infrastructure & the Environment Once treated, our wastewater returns to these sources to be used over and over again.

Natural Infrastructure Systems Infrastructure includes - wetlands - retention ponds - “green” systems

So What’s the Problem? “In 10 years, water pollution levels may deteriorate to those observed in the 1970s if we do not invest in our infrastructure.” U. S. EPA (2004 Gap Analysis)

America’s Infrastructure Systems Need Attention Water and wastewater pipes and plants will soon need to be replaced. New water and wastewater treatment plants will be required.

Replacing & renewing…. Is a big task Requires short-term and long-range planning Takes reinvestment

The Current Federal Role Financial Assistance Regulatory Requirements Federal Water Laws –Clean Water Act –Safe Drinking Water Act Most funding for drinking water and wastewater services comes from local ratepayers and taxpayers.

Your Service Providers Role 24/7 operation X employees X treatment plants X miles of water/sewer pipe

How Can You Help? Be Informed of the water and wastewater needs of your community. Support reinvestments as utility rates rise. Participate in water related programs available in your community.

How Can You Help? Speak up and out about reinvesting. Take a tour of your local utilities. Do not take water for granted.
