Utility of the Future Today Recognition Program

uotft-web-graphics-702x3954

The Utility of the Future Today (UoTF) Recognition Program honors forward-thinking water resource recovery and recycling facilities. The program seeks to reach deeply into the water sector to form and motivate a community of like-minded water utilities engaged in advancing resource efficiency and recovery, developing proactive relationships with stakeholders, and establishing resilient, sustainable, and livable communities. The Recognition Program, through the aggregation and sharing of utility advancements and experiences, will enable participants across a broad continuum of capacities and capabilities to learn from each other and continually grow and sustain their efforts to be, and continually advance the concept of, the Utility of the Future.

Public and private water sector utilities of all sizes, with no major permit violations in the year prior to the submission date, are encouraged to apply.

The WateReuse Association partners with the Water Environment Federation (WEF), the National Association of Clean Water Agencies (NACWA), and the Water Research Foundation (WRF) in leading this program, with support from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Department of Energy (DOE).
