Latest Developments in Water Infrastructure Funding Webinar
2018-08-29 12:00 - 13:30 (America/Chicago) | Webinar
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.
This 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.
Of 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.
Learning Objectives:

Gain understanding of what federally based infrastructure tools are available.
Reach a greater comfort level with the relatively new WIFIA tool.
Achieve insight into possible changes or additions to the existing finance toolkit.
Become better able to make informed decisions on what infrastructure finance tools to pursue. for his or her own utility.

Wildfire Impacts on Water Quality and Treatment Webinar
2018-08-15 12:00 - 13:30 (America/Chicago) | Webinar
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.
Learning Objectives:

Realize the potential effects of wildfire on water quality.
Prepare to deal with water quality that is impacted by wildfires in a watershed.
Learn about potential changes that could be effected to enhance a water system’s resilience against wildfires.
