Fayetteville, Arkansas has been named one of the 61 recipients of the inaugural Utility of the Future (“UOTF”) Award.
This is the first year of the award program.
The Utility of the Future concept was developed by the National Association of Clean Water Agencies (“NACWA”), Water Environment Research Foundation and the Water Environment Federation in 2013 to guide utilities toward smarter, more efficient operations targeting resource recovery. The concept focuses on productivity, sustainability and resiliency to attain greater resource recovery.
The NACWA states that each of the recipients “is bound by a shared commitment to integrating UOTF principles into their organizations”. It also states that the program recognizes the progress made by utilities to implement innovative technologies and to champion a culture of change.
The recipients will be recognized during a September 27th ceremony that will be held in conjunction with the Water Environmental Federation’s 89th Annual Technical Exhibition and Conference in New Orleans, Louisiana.
