Drinking water infrastructure is critical—and largely out of sight. In this episode of 💧H2O Minute News ⏰, Manny Teodoro of the University of Wisconsin wants to change that with the Wisconsin Water Works Excellence Project, a first-of-its-kind statewide effort to grade all 572 regulated water utilities.
Using detailed public data, the team created school-style report cards on water quality, infrastructure, finance, and communication. The goal? Empower communities, increase transparency, and spark smarter investment—before a crisis or rate spike.
“This could change the conversation in Wisconsin—and become a model for the nation,” says Teodoro.
