Last week, more than 750 water utility professionals from across the United States convened in the nation’s capital for the annual Water Week, featuring Congressional office visits and policy updates from sector leaders and regulators. The anchor event of Water Week is the National Water Policy Fly-In, held April 8-9. … Jessica Kramer, senior advisor to the assistant administrator for water at U.S. EPA, was also on hand to deliver remarks about EPA priorities for the coming year. While Kramer didn’t offer many policy specifics given the ongoing transition to the new administration, she did ensure the utility leaders in attendance that the water officials in the agency would work to foster positive collaboration within the sector. She also noted support for many of the issues above including pursuing a “polluter pays” model for PFAS cleanup.
