In this co-hosted webinar with the Association of Metropolitan Water Agencies (AMWA), panelists discussed the growing concern over emerging contaminants, particularly PFAS and microplastics, and their impact on water quality.

For several years, much of the drinking water industry has been focused on addressing new regulations and customer expectations associated with lead and PFAS. As most utilities are coming to grips with plans to address these water quality issues, the question is what is next. What contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) should utilities be preparing for? This webinar panelists discuss how they are actively preparing for the next wave of CECs.
