Small Cities/Rural Communities Perspective On Water Resources

Join this panel as they discuss water resources and resilient and sustainable systems.

Third Thursday Advocacy Jam: Water Resources
February 18, 2021
2:30–3:30 p.m. CT
With the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimating that water infrastructure in the United States will require at least $700 billion in investment over the next 20 years, and the Canadian Government committing to establish a Canada Water Agency to promote collaboration among all levels of government to protect freshwater sources, the need for engagement at the federal level is clear. Join the APWA’s US and Canadian Government Affairs staff for an overview and interactive discussion on the state of water policy in both countries, including potential clean/drinking water legislation, federal programs and regulatory changes, the impact of water resource management on transportation and emergency management, and challenges facing the water workforce.
Registration is FREE for Members and Non-Members. You can register for the entire year of programming or by each individual program.

CLL: PFAS in your water-what you need to know and why!
February 25, 2021
10:00–11:00 a.m. CT
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are manmade chemicals that includes PFOA, PFOS, and others; manufactured and used around the United States since the ‘40s. PFAS are found in water-repellent, wrinkle-free, and stain-resistant fabrics; non-stick cookware; paints; firefighting foam; and other household and industrial products. PFAS are persistent – they’ve been referred to as forever chemicals - in the environment and in the human body; they don’t break down and accumulate over time. According to the US EPA, there is evidence that exposure to PFAS can lead to adverse human health effects. PFAS has been found in drinking water and full cycle back in wastewater sludge. In this Click, Listen & Learn, we will help you understand PFAS, how it gets into our water and wastewater, it’s risks and current thinking in public works.
