AWRA Webinar 
Pricing Drinking Water for Conservation and Fiscal Stability
August 6, 2014 | 1pm ET 
Join us to learn more about the economic theory and utility practice for pricing drinking water services. This webinar will discuss the various ways of charging for water (flat rate, increasing blocks, water budgets, etc.), how those tariff schedules affect consumer behavior, and how payments from different customer classes fit a utility's financial obligations.

 Spectacular Time Lapse Dam "Removal" Video October 28, 2011 -- The White Salmon River in Washington State is flowing again as the nearly 100-year-old Condit Dam was disabled with explosives. The reservoir draining took about 2 hours. The event was a significant milestone for river restoration and dam removal nationwide.

EPA recently released a new video that describes how Pima County Regional Wastewater Reclamation Department implemented some of the key features of a protective program and how the utility benefited from its enhanced security.
