Why you should invest in US water utilities now

Billions of gallons of water are lost in the US every day through old, leaky pipes and mains. This may sound like a multi-million dollar crisis, but it’s also the next big investment opportunity.

The Roosevelt Hotel is one of the great old hotels in New York. It opened its doors in 1924. It's in a prime location, on Madison Avenue and 45th Street in Midtown. A vintage bronze relief of Teddy Roosevelt stands watch over the main lobby, as he has for over 80 years.

The hotel also illustrates the seen and unseen in the architecture of the physical economy in the US. What we see is a grand old hotel. What we don't see is behind the walls and underground - all the pipes, pumps, valves and more. These things get old. And they need replacements and repairs. Now imagine that entire unseen infrastructure on a national scale.
