Full Description
WaterNow Alliance is hosting a free webinar on October 8, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. Pacific (1:00 p.m. Eastern) on engaging the community in utility decision-making. The session makes the case that involving residents in planning can rebuild trust, lift participation in utility programs, and help a utility act as an anchor institution.

WaterNow staff moderate, and the session also serves WaterNow's Emerging Leader Network. Registration is through Zoom from the event page.
