  • 20th Annual EPA Drinking Water Workshop

    20th Annual EPA Drinking Water Workshop: Small System Challenges and Solutions

    EPA’s free Annual Drinking Water Workshop, held in partnership with ASDWA, will take place this year on September 11-14 in Cincinnati, Ohio. The workshop is primarily designed for primacy agency (tribal, states, territories) staff responsible for drinking water regulations compliance and treatment technologies permitting; however, others may also benefit, including system owners and operators, local and tribal governments, academics, design engineers, technical assistance providers, and consultants. The workshop attracts thousands of attendees and will provide the latest information on various solutions and strategies for handling small drinking water system challenges.

    Attendees will have opportunities to receive in-depth technical training, participate in breakout focus groups, and hear from experts in the field to learn about the latest advances in monitoring, distribution, treatment, and source water topics. Individuals who are unable to attend the event in person, will have the opportunity to benefit from some of the sessions in a virtual setting as part of the Small Drinking Water Systems Webinar Series. ASDWA will now be partnering with EPA on this series. The series will now be more of an extension of the in-person workshop and will continue to provide the latest information on solutions for challenges facing small drinking water systems. Webinars in this series are typically held quarterly, on the last Tuesday of the month, from 2 to 3 p.m. ET.

    Workshop Registration: Click here

    Participation in the Workshop will include the following opportunities:

    • September 11: Registration, early check in, and networking
    • September 12: Opening plenary, networking, technical sessions, focus groups
    • September 13: Technical sessions, special plenary, ask the experts, posters, and models and tools demonstrations
    • September 14: In-depth training

    Continuing Education Hours

    Attendees will have the opportunity to earn approximately 15 continuing education contact hours for attending the entire workshop. Contact hour certificates are typically sent via email within three weeks following the workshop. The agenda will be submitted to Ohio EPA for official course credits. Acceptance of contact hour certificates is contingent on your state and/or organization requirements—EPA cannot guarantee acceptance of certificates or submit certificates to states or organizations.

    Hotel Information

    Room blocks have been established at several hotels convenient to the convention center. Rooms are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Dedicated links are provided for each hotel.

    This year’s DMUC will be held in Alexandria, VA, from September 25 – 27, 2023. Please note the $100 fee associated with registration for the event. If you have questions, please email Anthony DeRosa at aderosa(at)asdwa.

    DMUC 2023 Agenda

    Hotel:

    Hilton Old Town Alexandria
    1767 King Street
    Alexandria, Virginia, 22314
    P: 703-837-0440

    RESERVE YOUR ROOM ONLINE: Available Rooms – Hilton Alexandria Old Town [https://group.hilton.com/fu5dgp]
    The rooms in the ASDWA room block are $249 per night (plus tax) for single or double occupancy. The hotel is directly across the street from the King Street Metro Station, providing easy access to local airports. Parking is available onsite at a discounted rate of $26/overnight or $16/daily.

    IMPORTANT NOTE – we are running out of rooms in the meeting block at the negotiated rate. If, for some reason, you cannot get a room at the negotiated rate [$249], I did notice they have “non-refundable rooms” listed for $291. I’ve seen a lot of people selecting the $344 “quick book” rate that is defaulted on, but this allows for cancellations a day before arrival. Selecting the white button below each room option that reads “More rates from…” will show additional rates for the same room with different amenities offered. If you need help, please contact me [aderosa @ asdwa.org].

    Annual Conference Remote Access

    We realize that some individuals may be unable to travel to participate, so ASDWA is offering remote access to the presented materials and live conference audio via webinar.

    If you are interested in attending, we ask that you register for one or all the sessions below. There are ten webinars scheduled for Central Time. You may register once for all sessions using our online form [https://form.jotform.com/ASDWA/asdwa-annual-conference-2024-remote] or register for each session you wish to attend by using the individual links below each session title. All plenary sessions will be recorded and shared after the Conference for later review. If any of the links below are broken, try to copy/paste the URLs into your browser.

    If you previously registered as an in-person attendee using ASDWA’s online form but do not plan to attend in person, please let us know for planning purposes.

    By registering as a remote attendee, you agree to “skate at your own risk,” as ASDWA staff may be unable to provide technical support during the sessions. Due to unknown technical factors [i.e., hotel internet crashes, equipment failures, etc.], ASDWA cannot guarantee that we’ll successfully broadcast every scheduled session. If we need to cancel a broadcast, we will try to contact all registrants to inform them. Naturally, we’ll do our best to provide a quality experience for the entire Conference and thank you ahead of time for your understanding.
