Performance Matters: How to Maximize Funding by Optimizing Coatings Service Life to Obtain the Lowest Life-Cycle Cost
May 30, 2024 | 2:00 pm CDT
Speakers: Randy Moore and Brian Cheshire – Tnemec
The passage of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Act in 2021 is offering the water sector a significant generational opportunity to restore our declining infrastructure. Over the next five years, over $50 billion will help make up for the shortfall in funding the water sector has been struggling with for many years. To make the most of this new funding, it is imperative to innovate municipal procurement practices to get the “biggest bang for the buck.” This webinar will explain how and why municipalities/utilities should align their procurement practices with their asset management and sustainability goals, drawing from an AWWA Opflow “Industry Insights” column published in July/August 2021. The core concept of asset management states the key objective is the “optimization of life-cycle costs.”

Maddie Dillon’s 120Water Platform Presentation from DRWA’s 2024 Technical Conference
Are you looking for resources to help you understand what’s included in the Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (LCRR) and how to tackle customer communications in order to meet compliance?
120Water just released two NEW! LCRR resources that will help you un-pack the regulations, understand what it means to be in compliance, and understand the resources available to help you tackle communication with your residents and compliance programs.
As the regulatory landscape advances to protect the public from the hazards of lead exposure, utilities are required to meet these evolving standards, including the LCRR, regardless of size or available resources. In response, the 120Water team has put together this e-book to assist utilities in navigating the path to compliance. In this guide we break down:
- The LCRR Inventory and upcoming programs
- How to build trust and effective communications with your residents
- Evaluating predictive models for LSL Inventory and Replacement
- Funding opportunities
- And so much more!
You can download and equip your team with this helpful guide by clicking here.
Effective communication between water utilities and their residents is critical in maintaining trust with your community as you tackle the LCRR. The Revisions mandate communication components including:
- Notifications to your residents
- An online map
- educational materials
- engagement with your customers through inventory building and sampling
This Public Engagement Look-book dives into communication best practices, examples of ways you can communicate with your residents, case studies, and services available to help you. Make sure your team is prepared for public communications by downloading the look-book here.
