Preparing For 2029: Meeting The EPA's PFAS Standards With Smart Infrastructure

As the EPA’s PFAS regulations continue to evolve, utilities must act quickly to meet the new standards by 2029. However, traditional capital and master planning approaches—often rigid, slow-moving, and budget-heavy—are being challenged by the need for more flexible, fast, and cost-accurate solutions. To keep pace, utilities must integrate advanced treatment technologies with dynamic infrastructure planning that can quickly adapt to regulatory shifts, funding opportunities, and operational demands. This webinar will explore how utilities can optimize their water systems by focusing on key components which play a vital role in managing and distributing water while addressing PFAS contamination. Attendees will learn how a modernized approach to master planning can enhance system efficiency, reduce contamination risks, and ensure long-term sustainability. 

The session will also highlight how AI-driven treatment modeling and predictive analytics can assist utilities in selecting the most effective PFAS removal solutions—while also streamlining capital planning for future regulations. By leveraging digital tools, utilities can evaluate treatment options, forecast system performance, and allocate resources with greater precision. Additionally, we’ll cover the importance of designing adaptable water systems that can respond to both current and emerging challenges without derailing long-term infrastructure plans. This webinar will equip water providers with the knowledge and strategies needed to meet PFAS standards while embracing a smarter, faster, and more resilient approach to infrastructure planning.
