About
There are many celebrations taking place this year in honor of the CWA’s 50th anniversary – and appropriately so, given its role as one of the most successful federal environmental statutes. NACWA’s members and the public clean water sector as a whole are arguably the greatest success story of the CWA and have earned the right to have a prime seat at the table to determine what the next 50 years of clean water will be.
Under the theme of The Clean Water Act at 50.... Embracing a Bold Vision for the Future, this year’s Utility Leadership Conference will focus on where we as a sector want to go by exploring a number of topics including the key policy and legislative changes needed to adapt the Clean Water Act to address modern water quality challenges; how to create a more sustained funding model for the future that addresses underlying affordability concerns; the role that issues of equity and environmental justice should play in both clean water policy and utility management going forward; how continued innovation and development of new technologies will impact the future of clean water and utility management; and more!
Don’t miss this chance to reconnect at NACWA’s first in-person summer conference in three years and be part of critical conversations about the future of clean water!
