Restructuring Charges

During the first quarter of 2013, we recognized restructuring charges of $5 million. The charges relate to the reduction in structural costs, including the consolidation of facilities, primarily within our Water Infrastructure segment. There were no restructuring charges recognized during the quarter ended March 31, 2012.
