The Utility Working Group consists of utility and industry facility owners that subscribe to The Water Research Foundation. More than 600 facility owners and representatives currently participate in this group, which provides a peer-to-peer networking forum for new technology and innovation.
The Utility Working Group is responsible for clustering technologies and process into priority areas based on user needs and interests. These clusters become Focus Groups that facilitate engaged discussion among facility owners and provide an opportunity for owners and representatives to share related information, expertise, and experiences. Additionally, they provide a forum for collaboration and to leverage testing and implementation efforts.
