National Infrastructure Week Kicks Off

Turn on your water faucet and fill a glass. Flush the toilet and all is clean. Wake up your computer and surf the internet.

We’d like to kick off National Infrastructure Week with this fascinating Infographic courtesy of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) to give you an idea of just how much infrastructure you use… not on a monthly, weekly, or daily basis, but before noon!
