On May 13 at 1 PM, the FWEA Utility Council and the Florida Office of Economic and Demographic Research (EDR) will convene a joint webinar on complying with HB 53’s needs analyses for domestic wastewater. This webinar will provide an opportunity for domestic wastewater utilities to learn all they need to know on how to complete EDR’s Wastewater Template for Needs Analysis, which is due to the county in which the utility operates by June 30, 2022. Webinar leaders will also explain to county representatives how to appropriately compile and submit local reports to EDR by July 31, 2022. As part of this webinar, a utility representative will provide specific examples on how to interpret and respond to each reporting template question. More information, including log in information to the webinar, will be provided in the coming weeks. If you have any questions, please contact Shelley Long at ucadmin@fweauc.org.
There is no cost for this webinar.
