From cars being swept down the Potomac River - to massive sink holes literally swallowing trucks in Manhattan and Fire Engines in Los Angeles - to flood waters contaminating public buildings with E. coli in New Jersey, we are seeing the results of neglected water infrastructure. In addition to aging infrastructure, climate change adaptation, and enhanced regulation, are compelling communities to invest in water infrastructure and expand green infrastructure.

Water Is Life, and Infrastructure Makes It Happen* is an education program designed to face the challenge. Targeting ratepayers, local leaders and the media, it teaches the value of water infrastructure and the importance of investing in its long-term stability. Water Is Life public information materials are designed to assist utilities and community organizations to build public support for investment in water infrastructure. Request a complimentary CD with outreach materials that are customizable for your community.

* Named to the 2010 Associations Advance America Honor Roll as an outstanding program which has resulted in significant benefit to American society.
