The American Water Works Association (AWWA) will host a webinar that will explore how long-term infrastructure performance is shaped by engineering decisions, material selection, installation practices, and maintenance strategies.

The session will highlight utility case studies where systems have withstood decades of service, even under challenging conditions such as seismic events, corrosive soils, and wildfires.

Attendees will learn how real-world challenges have shaped best practices in designing durable, low-maintenance water systems.

Panelists will include: moderator Liz Ralph, standards engineer, AWWA; Vern Adam, engineering services manager, Aurora Water; and Jim Ferguson, director of engineering, Central Arkansas Water, with more speakers to be confirmed.
