Apr 19, 2022 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM  

Event Image
Over the past two years, the worldwide pandemic has affected and impacted everybody in one way or another and has brought to light the fragility of supply chains in each industry. Throughout the water industry, everybody has dealt with these supply chain issues and many have begun evolving with the times by optimizing their risk management practices and system-wide resiliency to withstand further, unanticipated impacts from the rapidly changing world. To help address industry concerns and questions, the Drinking Water Quality & Research Committee will be hosting their annual seminar in early 2022 with industry experts to discuss major regulatory changes that will impact all public water systems including presentations on system resilience, emergency response, supply chain risk management and preparedness, and upcoming funding opportunities.
The seminar will be held at Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens in Henrico, VA on April 19, 2022.  You will have an opportunity to explore the property on the day of the event.  Both breakfast and lunch will be provided.  Please feel free to contact Roger Arnold (rarnold@hazenandsawyer.com) or James Linton (jlinton@wrallp.com) with any questions.
