EPA Watershed Webcast on Sustainable Wastewater

EPA’s Watershed Academy is sponsoring its 29th free Webcast Seminar on February 20. This month's topic will be "Wastewater Utilities Using Sustainable Watershed Approaches,"
by Andy Crosland, Sustainable Infrastructure Coordinator, U. S. EPA, Kevin Shafer, Executive Director, Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District, and Stephanie Farrell, Engineering Services Coordinator, Hallsdale-Powell Utility District. According to EPA's Watershed Academy website, the seminar will cover the following: "Much of the drinking water and wastewater infrastructure in the U.S. was built in the 30 years following World War II, mirroring the increase in population. Utilities are facing tremendous costs to rehabilitate and replace this infrastructure. EPA has a new initiative to promote Sustainable Infrastructure and help utilities identify the best practices to address a variety of management challenges. This Webcast will provide a brief introduction to EPA’s Sustainable Infrastructure Initiative and will highlight the work of two utilities to use sustainable watershed management approaches."
