Bernie Sanders: Drinking water infrastructure coming to end of useful life

According to the American Water Works Association, we need to increase attention to the serious water problems that we have: "Much of our drinking water infrastructure, the more than 1 million miles of pipes beneath our streets, is nearing the end of it's useful life and approaching the age in which it needs to be replaced. Delaying the investment we need--nearly $1 trillion--can result in degrading water service, increasing water service disruptions, & increasing expenditures for emergency repairs."

Bernie Sanders: We have significantly underfunded Infrastructure

For decades, we have significantly underfunded the maintenance and improvement of the physical infrastructure that our country depends on. We have given tax breaks to the wealthy rather than investing in our future. The United States now spends just 2.4 percent of gross domestic product on infrastructure, less than at any point in the last twenty years. Meanwhile, Europe spends more than twice our gross share of GDP on infrastructure and China spends close to four times our rate. Today, the United States' overall infrastructure ranks thirteenth in the world, down from seventh just a decade ago.
