Resilient Water Infrastructure and Drinking Water Week Highlights in the US Water Sector
This past week has seen significant developments in the water sector across the United States. American Water joined communities nationwide in celebrating Drinking Water Week from May 4-10, a tradition that has continued for more than 40 years. The company highlighted the importance of resilient water infrastructure and announced plans to invest between $40 and $42 billion over the next decade for pipe replacement and upgrading aging facilities.
The Massachusetts Water Resources Authority also commemorated Drinking Water Week, emphasizing their efforts in watershed protection that have created what they call an "accidental wilderness" while maintaining water quality that meets current state and federal standards for PFAS.
In financial news, American States Water Company released its first quarter 2025 earnings report on May 7, showing consolidated diluted earnings of $0.70 per share, an increase from $0.62 per share in the first quarter of 2024.
Water diplomacy made headlines as Mexico promised increased water deliveries to the United States via the Rio Grande. This development comes as the western United States faces challenging water conditions, with snowpack melting rapidly in Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah mountains. Warm and dry April conditions in the Colorado River basin have negatively impacted the region's water supply forecast, with projected runoff into Lake Powell dropping from 67 percent of average on April 1 to just 54 percent as of May 4.
Meanwhile, the Water Systems Council recently released the 2025 State of the U.S. Water Well Industry Report, providing a comprehensive analysis of challenges and trends shaping the industry.
Federal researchers contributed to a study on drinking water well contamination in southwestern Wisconsin, finding that nitrate levels and animal fecal microbes were associated with proximity to farmland rather than septic systems. The EPA Office of Inspector General has also announced an investigation into the construction bidding process for water infrastructure projects funded through the Clean Water State Revolving Fund.
Looking ahead, water industry leaders will gather at the Global Water Summit in Paris from May 12-14, where discussions will focus on critical issues including water scarcity, climate change, infrastructure modernization, and sustainable financing for water management solutions.
