An all-star panel of water leaders participate in a roundtable discussion about what happened in the year that was 2021 and provide insights on what 2022 might hold for the water sector.

In this session, you’ll learn about:

• Each panelist’s takeaways from 2021
• Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) funding issues
• Why the IIJA needs to be a “down payment” on our infrastructure rather than a one-time investment
• Why our panelists are worried about small and medium sized utilities
• How larger utilities can help small and medium sized utilities
• Why access to infrastructure funds need to be simplified
• How we can help our communities understand water’s role in building our communities
• How historic underinvestment in infrastructure has and is manifesting itself
• How affordability took on an even bigger role in 2021
• Innovation and the role of technology for utilities moving forward
• Our panelists’ favorite holiday traditions
