A discussion of data-driven,smart wastewater solutions and the critical role they play in efforts to shrink the multi-billion dollar deficit in North America's wastewater and combined sewer overflow management needs will take center stage during the briefing. The conversation will also touch on EPA-issued consent decrees and how they single-handedly demand billions of dollars to correct current system flaws,while further billions are required to keep wastewater networks running and avoid violations. These challenges highlight how essential smart wastewater solutions are minimizing and optimizing compliance investment and reducing wastewater utility spend to operate the network today and in the future.

"While the water supply network has seen great attention from smart water innovations,the possibilities of data-based solutions to alleviate and overcome the challenges to the wastewater and collections networks are even greater," said Cutler. "Whether facing formal EPA consent decrees or addressing a myriad of early-stage requirements in combined sewers,sanitary sewers and stormwater capacity management,smart wastewater solutions help utilities optimize their investments and operations to ensure sustainable wastewater systems in the face of massive rehabilitation requirements."

Key takeaways of the webcast include:

Identify how data-based technologies and solutions can tackle the multi-billion dollar wastewater network deficit and drive growth opportunities

Understand how utilities transformed challenges into strengths

Engage with industry thought leaders and participate in an interactive Q&A
