Presentation Description:
The presentation will provide information on the new regulatory requirements of the EPA's new lead and copper rules and the impact the rules will have on the end-users that AWT members service. Because we are all involved in water-related issues, we must be available to provide the end users who we service with information about the rule changes. This could lead to opportunities for the AWT service companies to increase sales and provide other services to an exisiting or new client. This could also help AWT member companies protect current business.
