Why not just drink tap water?

The Crisis of America’s Crumbling Infrastructure

Crumbling Water Pipe

The nation's drinking water system is so troubled, the American Society of Civil Engineers gave it a grade of D minus, in its 2009 Report Card of America's Infrastructure. Here are just a few facts about the U.S. water infrastructure:

• States with largest 20-year needs: California, New York and Texas 
• Systems serving 100,000-plus: 30 percent of pipes are between 40 and 80 years old
• Leaking pipes = 7 billion gallons wasted water daily
• Dripping faucet once per second: 2,700 gallons per year
• Total cost to fix U.S. water systems: $334.8 billion over 20 years 
• Yearly U.S. water main breaks: 240,000
• Every time there is a break in the system bacteria enter the water supply.  
• Sources: American Society of Civil Engineers, EPA

Municipal water systems can:

• Fail
• Break down
• Be tampered with (al Qaeda documents show dams and water systems)
• Become contaminated (recent event in Portland)
