Two of the feature profiles in this month’s issue of MSW follow similar plot lines: municipalities with aging water and sewer infrastructure working to find ways to maintain their systems and improve efficiency with limited funding. The story is common among utilities across North America.
Westminster, Colo., and Laurens County, S.C., have made great progress in their fight to improve local utility infrastructure, but both are still dealing with aging pipes. Many more sewer and water utilities are much further behind the curve due to limited funds for improvements. Some are just patching holes to temporarily assuage catastrophic failure.
