In the first step of a committed advocacy effort for the safety and sustainability of America’s drinking water, Plumbing Manufacturers International (PMI) introduced a position statement and infographic advocating for the restoration of U.S. underground water infrastructure. The water crises in Flint, Michigan, and thousands of other American communities — coupled with concerns about waterborne pathogens such as Legionella, water main breaks and leaks, drought, and their collective impact on water infrastructure — led PMI to begin an advocacy effort focused on water infrastructure issues.
