Making the Business Case for Clean Water: Solutions for Uncertain Times
At a time of unprecedented financial uncertainty, public clean water utilities – pillars in ensuring public health and environmental protection for their communities – are facing innumerable challenges that compete for limited resources. Aging infrastructure, growing regulatory burdens, and swelling workforce gaps are just a few of the mounting pressures keeping utility leaders up at night. Now, perhaps more than ever before, communities need thoughtful, visionary leadership and resilient utility governance structures to advance sustainable and affordable water policies that withstand times of economic and political upheaval. NACWA’s 2025 Utility Leadership Conference will bring together clean water sector leaders to explore innovative approaches to ensure their utilities can withstand these turbulent times and serve their communities for decades to come.
