Burns and McDonnell History — Need for Clean Water Launched Burns and McDonnell
It seems obvious to nearly everyone today that clean water is essential to a community's quality of life. But in 1898, the year Burns & McDonnell was founded, it sometimes took a great deal of salesmanship to convince Midwestern town councils and business leaders that they should spend money on water purification plants and wastewater treatment facilities. Keeping bacteria out of drinking water and sewage out of watersheds was not always a priority for towns that had been on the edge of America's frontier only a few years earlier.
