Implementing Distributed Infrastructure on Public and Private Properties

Once you’ve determined the distributed infrastructure that could be a good fit for your community, figured out your financing, and addressed perceived legal barriers, the next step is implementation.

Whether installing lead lines on private property, doing a landscape transformation project at City Hall, or laying permeable pavement on Main Street, implementing distributed water infrastructure can raise a number of issues around responsibility for installation as well as O&M.

These questions generally break down by whether the property involved is public or private.
