Regulation Updates For Utility Managers

  1. How Regulatory Pressure Is Driving Innovation In Surface Water Facilities 3/23/2026

    What does it take to stay ahead of tightening drinking water standards? See how utilities are turning regulatory pressure into smarter infrastructure investment.

  2. Navigating EPA Surface Water Treatment Rules In 2026 And Beyond 3/23/2026

    Single-future design assumptions are no longer sufficient. See what scenario modelling reveals about building treatment infrastructure that performs across decades of uncertainty.

  3. From AMP7 To PR29: Why Static Design Approaches No Longer Work 3/23/2026

    Transitioning from static to dynamic design is critical for UK water companies, enabling better optioneering, stronger investment cases, and improved outcomes as PR29 approaches.

  4. Digital Twins And AMP Cycles: Preparing For PR29 With Smarter Infrastructure Modelling 3/23/2026

    Digital twins and advanced modelling are becoming essential for AMP8 and PR29, enabling better asset insights, scenario planning, and stronger, data-driven investment justification.

  5. How Generative Design Can Help UK Utilities Justify PR29 Investment Cases 3/23/2026

    Generative design strengthens PR29 investment cases by enabling rigorous optioneering, accurate cost estimates, and clear outcome alignment, helping water companies meet rising regulatory expectations.

  6. Bridging Global Innovation With UK Regulation: Digital Design In The PR29 Era 3/23/2026

    PR29 is a chance for UK water companies to adopt proven global design innovations, using digital tools to strengthen investment cases, improve efficiency, and reduce risk.

  7. PR29 And The Future Of Water Investment Planning In The UK 3/23/2026

    UK water companies must prepare for PR29 now, leveraging digital design, stronger data, and long-term planning to build credible, outcome-driven investment cases.

  8. EPA Seeks Court‑Ordered Removal Of 4 PFAS Limits 2/23/2026
    The U.S. EPA is testing a new procedural strategy to remove four PFAS drinking‑water limits from ongoing litigation, asking the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals to invalidate those limits on the grounds that the EPA itself committed a procedural misstep when issuing the 2024 PFAS rule.
  9. Putting The National Toxicology Program's Fluoride Review In Context 2/13/2026
    Despite renewed public concern over fluoride and cognition, the National Toxicology Program’s findings focus on high‑fluoride groundwater conditions — not the controlled levels used in U.S. drinking water systems. Understanding that distinction is critical for utilities navigating policy questions and community expectations.
  10. Opinion: Why PFAS Policymakers Should Read Past The Abstract 2/12/2026
    When it comes to drinking water, sound public policy requires sound scientific research. Publication in a prestigious, peer-reviewed journal helps establish legitimacy for scientific claims in public discourse. But science is a social process, scientific standards of evidence vary across disciplines, and peer review does not guarantee validity. For readers who stop at the abstract, these distinctions can be easy to miss.
