Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract] |
Restructuring, Impairment, and Other Activities Disclosure | Restructuring Charges During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, we recognized restructuring charges of $20 million and $25 million, respectively. We incurred these charges primarily in an effort to reorganize our structure in Europe and North America to address declines in sales volumes and optimize our cost structure. The charges relate to the reduction in structural costs, including the elimination of headcount and consolidation of facilities within both our Water Infrastructure and Applied Water segments. There were no restructuring charges recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012. The following table presents the components of restructuring expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.
