U.S. Conference of Mayors’ Rich Anderson discusses efforts to address America’s failing water infrastructure.Have you ever taken a trip abroad and wondered whether it’s safe to drink the water? What about right here at home in the U.S.? In America, we often assume our tap water is safe and healthy to drink. However, for millions of Americans, safe drinking water is a luxury due to the current state of our water infrastructure which is primarily made off corroded pipes. Just think of Flint, Michigan, which brought to light a community’s tragic struggle with water contamination. Dr. Richard Anderson, consultant to the U.S. Conference of Mayors, is intimately familiar with America’s water crisis. For over 30 years, he has worked on the difficult issues facing the U.S. water infrastructure, developing solutions as modern plastic pipes. On the latest episode of Sustainably Speaking, Rich joins host Mia Quinn and special guest co-host Amy Schmidt, director of building and construction at the American Chemistry Council. Together they dive into the complex yet critical issue of providing Americans with access to safe and clean drinking water.
