Published annually by the American Society of Civil Engineers, this report critically examines 15 sectors of American infrastructure from aviation through wastewater. Unfortunately the cumulative card is a D, with a very troubling rating of D- for the water sector. The Society calculates that it would cost $2.2 trillion to remediate these poor showings for all the sectors. You can also view the 2007 report card for New Jersey; we rate a C-. This CRS report should also be perused – The Role of Public Works Infrastructure in Economic Stimulus.
