SUMMARY:Foundations of Water 101: The Basics of Water Utility Regulation
DESCRIPTION:The Basics of Water Utility Regulation is designed to de-mystify the economic regulation of water (and wastewater) utilities and better prepare those involved in regulation to address current and emerging water economic regulatory issues. \nThis 3-day\, 6-hour course will be led by the Honorable Jeff Hughes\, former Chair of the NARUC Committee on Water and a Commissioner with the North Carolina Utilities Commission (NCUC). The course will cover key topics in water\, including economic regulation vs. environmental regulation\, the basics of “traditional economic regulation/rate making\,” the impact of emerging environmental and public health water topics such as PFAS and Lead Service Line replacements on economic regulation\, alternative regulatory practices and approaches\, such as multi-year rate making\, decoupling\, consolidation of small systems\, Fair Market Value/Acquisition Adjustments\, Customer Assistance Programs\, and Performance Based Regulation. \nCourse participants will be expected to spend approximately 1 to 2 hours on pre-course research and assignments. \nFoundations of Water Regulation (101) is part of the Professional Development Water track and the Accounting & Rate Design track. It will be helpful preparation for students considering attending the NARUC Rate School.

SUMMARY:Restoring Aquatic Ecosystems to Improve Human Health and Well-being
DESCRIPTION:The degradation of aquatic ecosystems can have widespread impacts on both aquatic ecosystem function and aquatic organism health. This loss of ecological integrity can negatively affect aquatic ecosystems and can result in impairments to recreational water use or drinking water consumption\, loss of fish and wildlife populations\, and degraded aesthetics. Beneficial use impairment is presumed to impact human health; however\, comprehensive reporting of impacts on health outcomes is lacking. This webinar will present findings on two widespread impairments — degraded aesthetics and water contact resulting from combined sewage overflows — and how the relationship between ecological restoration and human health should be considered in a systems context.

SUMMARY:EPA’s Flood Cleanup Resources: Promoting Community Resilience through Risk Communication
DESCRIPTION:After a flood\, affected residents often want to assess the condition of their homes and businesses\, get rid of debris and muck\, and repair damaged property—however\, flooded buildings contain potential health risks. Getting information to the public after a disaster about what these health risks are and how to avoid them can be difficult. EPA’s Office of Research Development and Region 4 (Southeast) used the EPA’s risk communication framework and human-centered design techniques to figure out what information people affected by a flood need and how they make cleanup decisions. They used this input to create a website on how to safely clean out and fix up flooded homes. The website contains short how-to videos with step-by-step instruction from safely entering a flooded building to mold remediation techniques. The public can use this website to reduce hazards in the home after a flooding event to protect their health. It helps communities recover as quickly and safely as possible. The webinar will review the risk communication and human-centered design strategies used to develop the Flooded Homes Cleanup Guidance website and provide an overview of the website and its key features.

SUMMARY:Risk-Based Framework for Fit-for-Purpose Water Reuse: State of the Science
DESCRIPTION:Risk-based water reuse management continues to gain traction throughout the U.S. This presentation will introduce the recent EPA report Risk-Based Framework for Developing Microbial Treatment Targets for Water Reuse\, which describes the conceptual framework underpinning these approaches and provides a detailed discussion of current scientific assumptions for conducting the associated quantitative microbial risk assessments (QMRA). In addition to enabling calculation of new fit-for-purpose water treatment levels\, it includes computed pathogen log reduction targets (LRTs) across a variety of municipal and onsite reuse configurations. Implementation considerations\, key sources of uncertainty\, and future research needs are also identified with an emphasis on removal crediting processes.
