From Pre-Civil War to Present, U.S. Drinking Water Pipes Show a Range of Ages The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimated in 2023 that the nation’s water utilities need to spend $625 billion on infrastructure over the next 20 years. Two-thirds of that total is for water transmission and distribution – the pipes, in other words. Water mains are a city’s hidden circulatory system. In large metro areas they snake for thousands of miles beneath streets and across neighborhoods.

America’s drinking water pipes tell a story of aging infrastructure—some even predate the Civil War. Replacing them is now the biggest cost facing utilities, with up to $625 billion needed over the next 20 years. What’s at stake beneath our streets?
