You can't afford to ignore I&I.
Every gallon that enters a treatment system through infiltration is a gallon that didn't need to pumped, transported or treated. And every gallon carries a cost that adds up significantly over time.
Even a small leak has a not-so-small price tag.
💲A 1 gallon-per-minute leak equals more than 525,000 gallons of unnecessary groundwater every year
💲With an average treatment cost of $1.75 per 1,000 gallons, that’s approximately $920 each year for a single leak
💲Multiple that across an entire system with multiple leaks, and the number climbs
💲Add in even more for pumping, maintenance and equipment wear, and the cost is even higher
Our latest blog post explores the big problems that come with small leaks, and how ART can help you find the right solutions for your specific infrastructure challenges.
