Effective management and protection of water and wastewater infrastructure is challenging. Much of these vital assets are relatively expensive to build and replace, making management and maintenance of utmost importance for water & wastewater system operators. Evolving regulatory requirements and infrastructure funding needs often compete for a communitys resources. Take this opportunity to come reunite with your peers to discuss the many challenges that we face every day with having to do more with less, finding innovative and best practices for infrastructure design and renewing existing infrastructure to ensure maximum asset life. Sustainable infrastructure and systems are essential to ensuring the economic and environmental sustainability of all of our communities.
