CLEAN WATER IS NO ACCIDENT
PROMOTING THE PROTECTION AND EXPANSION OF COMMUNITY INFRASTRUCTURE ASSETS
In communities across the country, corrosion and other types of structural damage has weakened municipal infrastructure systems, impeding community growth and economic development and reducing municipal capacity and prosperity.
Crumbling roadways, bridges, and water systems drain resources, increase operational costs, and rob opportunity by discouraging business growth.
Sadly, the economic cost of corrosion is only part of the story. The cost of corrosion in terms of public safety and ecological health is even higher.
When compromised structures fail – when bridges collapse, barriers give way, pipes burst, or storage tanks rupture – the results can be both deadly and disastrous for the environment.
The American Infrastructure Network was created to help communities combat the high financial and human costs of infrastructure decay by providing a full suite of planning, procurement, education, and technical assistance services.
We are a 501(c)(3) organization with a mission to give communities the tools, knowledge, and other resources they need to ensure smooth and long-lasting operation of infrastructure assets.
We also advocate for increased funding for infrastructure projects and forward-thinking corrosion and public works policy across the country . When thoughtfully enacted and rigorously enforced, public policy constitutes a critical part of a holistic approach to supporting the health of communities and the people who live and work within them.
