Campaign to drive public awareness of water as
an invaluable resource
United Water today announced support for a public information
campaign to raise awareness of the value of water and the
challenges facing the nation’s water infrastructure. The campaign
is anchored by the website www.thevalueofwater.org.
The delivery of clean drinking water and the treatment of
wastewater are essential for every aspect of our daily lives,
homes, workplaces, schools and environment. However, many
communities across the U.S. are relying on an aging water
infrastructure which is in need of repair or replacement. It is
estimated that there is one water main break every two minutes in
the United States, and that cities and towns across the nation must
invest $1.3 trillion in repairs and upgrades over the next 25
years.
“United Water is preparing to tackle this challenge by making
nearly $1 billion in capital investments over the next five years
in its own systems and in city systems that leverage private
capital through the SOLUTIONSM model,” said Bertrand Camus, chief
executive officer.
Through SOLUTIONSM United Water can attract long-term private
investment for cities that choose to improve their municipal water
and environmental systems.
“Because much of our nation’s water system lies unseen
underground, we must raise awareness about the importance of water
if we expect cities, towns and customers – across the nation – to
prioritize its investment,” said Camus.
To bridge the awareness gap, the Value of Water Campaign will
provide information about water in our daily lives and the
infrastructure needed to deliver it. United Water will support the
campaign by sharing information with customers and stakeholders
through its own social media channels.
The Campaign will benefit from the experience and collective
reach of nearly 100,000 city water utilities, non-profit water
associations and water services and technology companies. These
entities work daily to ensure our homes and workplaces are supplied
with clean and safe water for drinking and then ensure that after
its use, this same water is cleaned and made safe again before
being discharged into the environment.
The campaign goes live today, and can be found online at
www.thevalueofwater.org, on Twitter at @thevalueofwater and
