Reclaimed water is a valuable resource that lessens the amount of drinking water that ends up on lawns and other landscaping. Use of reclaimed water reduces the maximum daily demand from the water treatment facilities and increases the reliability of drinking water supplies. Join NCWRA for a look at reclaimed water through the perspectives of three Piedmont communities (Cary, Raleigh, and Holly Springs).

Continuing Education Credits:  This forum will provide 1 PDH (professional development hour) credit upon completion of registration and evaluations that will be sent with the final event information. Each professional must determine if the content is relevant to his/her individual practice and suitable for his/her continuing education.

Please note, this will meeting will not offer a hybrid (webinar) component.
