Last month, we welcomed a much smaller group to Milwaukee – the 2024 participants in our BREW 2.0 Post-Accelerator. Learn about that and more in our July newsletter.

It’s hard to believe it’s been a year since The Water Council and our partners were awarded $1 million from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to develop a regional innovation engine focused on water and energy resiliency for manufacturers and utilities.
The time has flown by as we grow and refine our engine. And it’s about to start moving even faster, as preliminary proposals are due to NSF in August. I’m extremely proud of the work our Leadership Team of engine partners is doing and extremely thankful for all their time and effort to develop our engine. This truly could not be accomplished without them and all our collaborators. Read on to learn more about that and what else we’re up to this month.
After years of hot talk in the water world, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) last week released a major mandate outlining its first-ever limits on PFAs in drinking water.

Learn about how that relates to our members and more in our monthly newsletter.
