An article was posted today concerning the decay of the nation's drinking water infrastructure at Threat to Drinking Water Supply
*** Rant On ***
I have to call :angry: on this in the sense that this is NOT new news. When I was taking Potable Water System Design in college (way back when the lead and copper rule were newly promulgated) there was A LOT of discussion about the need to replace the drinking water infrastructure because life-cycle design for such a system was usually spec'd out at 20-yrs to 30-yrs. The concerns then were providing adequate disinfection while minimizing the formation of THMs and ensuring compliance with the lead and copper rule.
It is funny to read in a previous week (one or two weeks ago) where well-head security concerns for the nation's drinking water is the top concern and then the next week read that it is from 'rusted pipes'.
Give me a break !!!
*** Rant Off ***
I wonder where the capital for that infrastructure improvement will come from ?? Perhaps this will be addressed in :whipping: 's State of the Union Address ... hmmmm ...
