“The most valuable asset a water utility has is the trust of the community.”
Ozwater ParticipantA dozen clients and Black & Veatch professionals gathered in Brisbane, Australia, during Ozwater ’10 for the third in a series of global discussions about overcoming the barriers to water reuse. Black & Veatch’s Dinner Dialogue took place on 8 March at the Rydges hotel. The discussion was opened with highlights of the previous two conversations Black & Veatch had with global water leaders about this important issue. Participants were encouraged to consider in their discussions how sustainability related to reuse, and as a result, a lively debate that took place during the next few hours.
