The strength of American communities is founded upon well-built and maintained water infrastructure. Local economies cannot flourish and people and companies will not prosper without access to reliable drinking and clean water services. Clow Valve is proud of the role we play in our nation’s water infrastructure by producing safe, strong and sustainable ductile iron hydrants and valves that deliver water around the country.

During Water Week, March 31-April 6, we join other US water professionals in calling upon Congress to continue to support water infrastructure, research and development. This includes increasing funding for the Drinking Water State Revolving Funds and the Water Infrastructure Finance & Innovation Act.

Communities of all sizes and in all regions of the nation benefit from the investments made possible by the federal government’s support for water infrastructure and technological advancement.
