Water Utilities Are Facing Many Challenges
Implications for Utilities
Unrealistic for U.S. water utilities and
local governments to bridge the gap
between their current capital spending
and projected need for capital
spending, based on the age and life
expectancy of their infrastructure
Moving forward the industry will have to
use multiple approaches to extend the
life of their assets including measured
allocation of capital funds, product
innovation, predictive maintenance
planning, and rate increases
• Climate change is reducing both water
availability and quality; solutions to
retain, treat, and recycle water will need
to be incorporated into investment and
operating plans
Codification of contaminants regulation
could accelerate innovation around
testing for and removal of pollutants

Implications for Mueller
• Municipal repair and replacement
remains a tailwind
More detailed customer segmentation
is needed to market targeted points of
differentiation to disparate users
Connecting infrastructure network to
provide both predictive insight and
mechanical functionality will enhance
value proposition, thereby increasing
adoption of products and services
• Participating in training of the next
generation of utility workers could be a
competitive advantage
Web-enabled tools are needed to
engage new generation of users
• Alternative business models likely to
become more attractive to utilities
