(AGENPARL) – WASHINGTON gio 30 marzo 2023 Communities cannot exist without a reliable supply of drinking water. In the U.S., the 20th century saw these basic elements of public health and civic life become widely available across the country. As government funding allowed communities to put new technologies to work, Americans grew to expect that every community deserves quality drinking water and wastewater treatment—improving public health, allowing business to thrive, spurring economic growth, and creating better futures for everyone. Today, America’s water and wastewater systems are showing their age. Treatment plants built for an earlier time are reaching the end of their useful lives, no longer able to function efficiently or manage new environmental challenges. Governments face higher costs to keep these systems running, much less to treat emerging contaminants, reduce their environmental impacts, and prepare for the challenges of a changing climate. Customers are facing higher bills for less reliable service
