Event Description

Financing the Future of the U.S. Water Sector

March 23, 2026
9 a.m. - 6 p.m.

The Westin Charlotte (Charlotte, NC)

Across the nation, aging water infrastructure and rising costs are creating an urgent need for additional capital and innovative financing solutions. In addition, as the water sector moves toward a circular water economy, unlocking up to $47 billion annually in direct economic value for U.S. utilities and municipalities, the sector must come together to chart a path forward. 

To meet this challenge, the Water Environment Federation is convening leading experts from across the country for a high-impact summit focused on financing the future of water infrastructure. Together, we’ll explore strategies to leverage federal resources, mobilize private investment, and build sustainable funding models that drive long-term resilience and growth.
