Catawba Wateree Water Management Group 2015 Annual Report
WATER FOR ALL SUMMIT 2022Investing in Our Infrastructure
In-Person Event 
March 30, 2022
In the Catawba-Wateree region, we have aging infrastructure, infrastructure in need of upgrades, changing demands and new technologies. And many of these infrastructure needs are interrelated.
This Summit will bring together industry leaders across our Basin to talk about what infrastructure means when it comes to the Catawba-Wateree, trends in future infrastructure investments, and how we can work together to position ourselves for better investments. Additional topics of discussion include:
- The Infrastructure Bill’s Impact on North Carolina and South Carolina
- Climate’s Impact on Water Infrastructure
- Duke Energy’s Vision for the Future
- The Evolution for Better Decision Making
- Community Investment
We will focus on how we can plan ahead and work together – across jurisdictional lines, industries, and interests – to extend the resources of the Catawba-Wateree River.
