With more than 50,000 water utilities in the U.S. of varying age, capacity, and material status, significant energy and water savings are possible and financially viable. Utilities seek more information about available energy-saving products and workforce development resources. Challenges related to ownership, decision-making processes, and planning-to-execution timelines, however, make detailed energy-savings estimates problematic.
