Access to safe and reliable drinking water is something that’s easy to take for granted, but is Minnesota’s water infrastructure up to the task? The state faces an estimated $7.4 billion in drinking water infrastructure costs over the next twenty years – with water system needs outpacing available funding for repairs and upgrades.

Join Environmental Initiative for a cross-sector conversation about Minnesota’s drinking water needs, and innovative methods for closing the gap between future needs and current resources. This half-day session will include presentations from leading thinkers on infrastructure and water use as well as small group discussions focused on how to ensure a sustainable water future.
