All of us here have seen the comments here and there about the future cost to repair our water and other infrastructure systems, so such projections don't surprise us.
A recent one noted there are an estimated 240,000 water main breaks a year in the US, and it is estimated by some that it will cost more than $1 trillion to expand and replace outdated pipes over the next 25 years.
I believe that, and there will no doubt be a day of reckoning when water companies (both private and public) are losing so much water through line breaks that they can no longer afford to just let them continue to leak.
