“Lack of Sustainable Funding”
• Most Infrastructure is Hidden from the Public
– Buried pipes
– WTP/WWTP away from public
• Funding is not a priority
– Schools
– Police/fire
• Uneducated consumers
– Cable TV
– Internet
“How do we Achieve Sustainable
Funding?”
• Educate the public
• Engage our politicians
• Sustainable business practices
– Asset management
– Energy efficiency
– Educated work force
“State of the State”
• Aging and failing Infrastructure
• Increased regulatory requirements
• Climate Change
• Lack of sustainable funding
