As the U.S. EPA and State Revolving Funds implement the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) and its dozens of new formula and competitive grant programs, communities are navigating federal and state regulatory requirements and reading to identify key opportunities that will help propel a range of critical infrastructure projects.

To maximize the impact of these federal funds, local governments and utilities must carefully review their long-term infrastructure needs to achieve optimal asset investment and take a smarter approach to water management through digitalization.

The adoption of digitalization can help water utilities address many of the challenges they face, including extending the life of aging assets, improving service levels, reducing water loss and energy use, responding to abnormalities in the distribution network, increasing operational efficiencies, making better capital planning decision, and ultimately making the most of this historic federal funding.

Join this panel discussion to learn about:

  • IIJA implementation strategies and frameworks
  • Funding opportunities for critical asset investments
  • Identifying and prioritizing capital improvement projects while maintaining safe and reliable operations
  • Utilizing smart technology to gain visibility and insights to confidently plan, design, construct, and operate critical water infrastructure
  • Breaking down data silos and promoting integration workflows to make informed decisions and build long-term sustainable infrastructure
