Title:  The Economic and Financial Impact of COVID-19 on Water and Wastewater Agencies

Presenter: Alex Shannon, HDR

Abstract

What’s next? As we prepare for and adjust to what may be our new “normal” for some time, we need to plan for and identify what the potential impacts may be for water and wastewater utilities in light of the financial strains posed by COVID-19. Setting sound financial policy is key to being resilient, and we’ve seen that now more than ever. But what do these policies look like? How is the industry changing? How are utilities continuing to pay for clean and safe water when bills are lower and commerce has come to a halt? Please join Alex Shannon, as he covers the range of anticipated financial impacts and community responses to Covid-19. He will discuss tools, ideas, and options available for utilities to adapt to this crisis, and how we as engineers can continue to work to provide safe and reliable infrastructure.
