ity managers can benefit from a similar philosophical approach in

Sessions to Focus on Managing & Financing
Resilient Clean Water Utilities
The Summer Conference’s focus on utility resiliency will showcase
innovative management approaches now in place at clean water
agencies, and explore the challenges of municipal utility financing.
Utilities across the country are putting new practices in place to es-
tablish more resilient business models and one conference session
will examine several case studies. A featured session will provide an
overview of the role municipal bonds play in financing clean water in-
frastructure; bond ratings and what impacts them; alternative bond
offerings (e.g., Build America Bonds); and the potential impacts of
President Obama’s proposed cap on the tax exemption for high water
earners. Additionally, numerous NACWA Standing Committees will
meet, sharing the latest developments in a wide variety of areas of
critical importance to clean water utilities.
