Access all the latest regulatory, legislative, and legal developments impacting your utility today.

Conversations on investment in the water sector continue to explore the right level of private engagement; the role for peer-to-peer partnerships; and how fragmentation in the public water and wastewater sector – with thousands of small water and wastewater systems across the country – may limit how much progress can be made. NACWA’s 2018 Utility Leadership Conference will explore how utilities can strike the right balance among public, private and peer-to-peer solutions to meet their needs and the needs of the sector as a whole.
