Exploring bold ideas in water at WEFTEC
September 27–October 1, 2025
Chicago, IL
Our team is playing a prominent role in this year’s WEFTEC in Chicago. We will be showcasing a wide range of innovative, sustainable, and data-driven solutions for water and wastewater management. Through a combination of technical presentations and panel moderation, we are contributing to advancing industry knowledge and collaboration.
Stop by table 19 at the WEFTEC Career Fair on September 29 to learn more about H2O+U—where passion for water meets purpose, innovation, and opportunity!
