Description

Financial Sustainability ranked fifth in a list of top water industry challenges in AWWA’s 2024 State of the Water Industry Report. In its first year of inclusion in the report’s list of water challenges, such a high ranking reflects the criticality of financial sustainability to long-term utility success. Working to achieve the Water 2050 vision of creating a sustainable and resilient water future, Water 2050’s Finance & Affordability Strategic Implementation Team is focused on a future characterized by a shared understanding of the value of water, as well as a balance between recognition of the full cost of water services and ensuring it does not present an economic burden to our most vulnerable communities.

This webinar provides a glimpse into our water future through the lens of financial sustainability. There will be an engaging discussion about innovative policies and practices that will help shape the future of utility finance. Attendees will learn which actions must be taken now to support financial sustainability in the future.
