Water is Life Use It Wisely The cost of providing adequate water supplies and treating wastewater is rapidly increasing. Cities spend billions each year to upgrade facilities and pipelines in both water and wastewater just to meet the demands of growing populations. To minimize future water problems and rising costs in the form of a utility bill, it is up to us to make more efficient use of this natural resource. Report A Problem
