Water 2050: The Value of Regionalization or Consolidation of Water and Wastewater Services

Water and wastewater utilities are facing increased operational and financial pressures. Regionalization or consolidation of water and wastewater utility services can help certain communities leverage economies of scale and improve service delivery. If your utility or region is considering regionalization or consolidation, this webinar offers a valuable opportunity to learn from seasoned and skilled practitioners. Find out what it takes to successfully implement water and wastewater utility regionalization or consolidation and explore different opportunities or solutions available to support your efforts.

While utility consolidation can be a powerful strategy, it is inherently complex and may be difficult to implement. It’s not a one-size-fits-all solution—regionalization or consolidation must deliver clear, measurable benefits that outweigh the costs. Decision-makers need a well-defined value proposition to justify pursuing this path.

Discussion topics will include: various approaches to regionalization and consolidation, the financial impacts, policy and regulatory drivers, and how to work towards triple bottom line benefits. In addition, case study assessments and value statements (for recommended operational efficiencies) will be reviewed, as well as an implementation plan and activity flow-chart. Stakeholder engagement guidelines and considerations will also be discussed.
