The United States recently celebrated its centennial year of standards for engineering products. Today's American National Standards Institute (ANSI) dates to 1918, and in collaboration with AWWA, it and other organizations produced a standard for iron pipe in 1926. This and other standards for products and processes are major reasons North America has the finest municipal water systems in the world.
