SUMMARY:Latest Developments in Water Infrastructure Funding Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Both the Administration and Congress agree investment in infrastructure is needed\, but the devil is always in the details\, particularly funding. This webinar will outline developments the water sector needs to prepare for. Involved in these developments is how the first round of projects is proceeding under the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (WIFIA) program\, plus possible changes to WIFIA or the state revolving loan fund programs. We will discuss the Trump Administration’s infrastructure proposals and other future developments we foresee in infrastructure finance. \nThis webinar will help water utility managers and finance officers get a better grasp of the future nature of federal infrastructure finance tools to help them plan their own financing of projects. \nOf critical concern to water utilities is where the lowest-cost finance options for infrastructure projects are to be found. As a result of this webinar\, utility leaders can begin to pursue financing options that make the most sense for their organizations. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nGain understanding of what federally based infrastructure tools are available.\nReach a greater comfort level with the relatively new WIFIA tool.\nAchieve insight into possible changes or additions to the existing finance toolkit.\nBecome better able to make informed decisions on what infrastructure finance tools to pursue. for his or her own utility.\n\nA single registration allows the convenience of individual training from your desktop computer. For multiple participants\, select the Group registration box and add to cart. \nBy registering for this webinar\, you submit your information and email addresses to the sponsors who will use it to communicate with you regarding this event and their services. \nIf you do not wish to receive any emails from our webinar sponsors you may follow the sponsors’ opt out or unsubscribe instructions following receipt of an email from them. You will not be able to opt out prior to receiving an initial email from our webinar sponsors. \nREGISTER NOW!

SUMMARY:Demystifying Water Loss Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Water loss is a topic in high demand\, as drought\, rising costs of supply\, and new regulations make it top- of-mind for many water system managers\, consultants\, and environmental and regulatory groups. The focus of this webinar will be reducing the complexity of the issue of water loss into a digestible and actionable format. \nParticipants will value the focus of translating a broad topic of “system inefficiency” into “what does that mean for my utility\,” and “what are my next steps.” \nLearning Objectives: \n\nGauge how the issue of water loss affects utilities across North America.\nRealize the vital importance of annual validated water auditing as a practice.\nLearn how best to engage elected officials in support of water loss management.\nGain a working and conversational understanding of “the M36 Method.”\nLearn about leakage management through District Metering Areas and data analytics.\n\nA single registration allows the convenience of individual training from your desktop computer.

SUMMARY:Wildfire Impacts on Water Quality and Treatment Webinar
DESCRIPTION:The focus of this webinar is a discussion of impacts that wildfire could have on water quality and treatment. Specific topics include how a wildfire could impact a system’s water quality\, how these changes in water quality (e.g.\, increase in turbidity\, nutrients\, DOC) can translate into operational challenges\, and what steps could be taken to minimize these effects. The webinar will summarize results from three Water Research Foundation projects\, which were funded over the past 3 years and which have examined in detail the effects of wildfire on water treatment and quality. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nRealize the potential effects of wildfire on water quality.\nPrepare to deal with water quality that is impacted by wildfires in a watershed.\nLearn about potential changes that could be effected to enhance a water system’s resilience against wildfires.\n\n\nA single registration allows the convenience of individual training from your desktop computer. For multiple participants\, select the Group registration box and add to cart. \nBy registering for this webinar\, you submit your information and email addresses to the sponsors who will use it to communicate with you regarding this event and their services. \nIf you do not wish to receive any emails from our webinar sponsors you may follow the sponsors’ opt out or unsubscribe instructions following receipt of an email from them.
