Water Groups Recognize 61 Wastewater Utilities for Performance

A partnership of water sector organizations — the National Association of Clean Water Agencies (NACWA), the Water Environment Federation (WEF), the Water Environment& Reuse Foundation (WE&RF) and the WateReuse Association — with input from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) — has announced the recipients of the inaugural Utility of the Future (UOTF) Today Recognition Program. The program celebrates the progress and exceptional performance of wastewater utilities while supporting the widespread adoption of the innovative UOTF business model.

Sixty-one public and private utilities from across the United States, Canada and Denmark selected from an impressive number of first year entries by a peer committee of utility leaders. The recipients will be recognized and honored during a Sept. 27 ceremony that will be held in conjunction with WEFTEC 2016 — WEF’s 89^th annual technical exhibition and conference — in New Orleans, La. The recipients will receive a display flag and a special certificate to further identify and promote their outstanding achievement as a Utility of the Future Today organization.
