The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the essential role water utilities provide their communities and the important role the water sector has with federal policymakers in Washington, D.C. While Water Week 2021 will take place in a virtual setting again this year, it is the main event for water professionals from around the country to come together and continue the advocacy momentum for the water sector.

This year’s featured Water Week event will be the Water Week Policy Zoom-In, on Tuesday, April 27 from 2:00 PM ET to 4:30 PM ET. This free webinar is hosted jointly by this year’s Water Association Partners and will provide attendees the opportunity to hear directly from key U.S. Environmental Protection Agency waterweekofficials and members of Congress on the important regulatory and legislative water policies they are working on now and in the years ahead. Register now for this event.

In addition, the Water Advocacy Update & How to Virtually Lobby Congress During Water Week 2021 webcast, scheduled for Wednesday, April 14, 2021, will enlighten participants on the latest from Capitol Hill, the water sector’s key issues and talking points, and tools and tips for engaging during Water Week, such as setting up Zoom congressional office visits.

The Water Environment Federation's Stormwater Institute will virtually host the fifth annual Stormwater Policy Forum, focusing on the latest legislative and regulatory updates as well as policy trends and emerging topics.
