UIM services essential for society

Ageing sewerage systems are a major problem for society

Poor current state of sewerage systems

Aging infrastructure	Significant investment need	Consistent service need	Threat from severe weather
Average network ~40 years old and in some cases they are almost two times past their life expectancy	Only ~1% p.a. of the sewerage systems are renewed in Norway	~30% average leakage rate in Norway	Severe weather further exacerbates sewerage systems condition

Increase the life of sewerage systems
Continuous maintenance prevents flooding and the spread of water-borne diseases
Integral part of the sewerage system value chain – essential for society every day of the year
Drainage and other services mission critical for institutions from utilities to hospitals
The UIM industry has its own UN sustainability target (#6 water and sewerage systems) and is crucial for implementation of UN target 11 and 13
