Fixing hazardous and leaky water pipes “is not just good common sense, it’s good business sense,” said Bob Keefe, executive director of E2 (Environmental Entrepreneurs).
“Somebody has to dig up those aging pipelines and replace them with modern ones that don’t make our kids sick and that will provide the lifeline for clean water to consumers and businesses alike,” Keefe said. “That means jobs—good paying jobs that in many cases also happen to be stable union jobs.”
