Roundtable Discussion: How are utilities sharing data with internal and external stakeholders?
Roundtable Discussion: How are utilities sharing data with internal and external stakeholders? Jul 16, 2026
12:00 PM - 1:00 PM
Virtual Zoom

How are utilities sharing data with internal and external stakeholders?

 

Please plan to join this interactive roundtable to contribute your own experiences and learn how other utilities are tackling this issue.

 

Utility data is constantly being requested and shared with other divisions within a county/city organization or with 3rd parties like vendors and consultants. This roundtable will provide an opportunity for utilities to discuss how they are sharing data, explore technical, process, and policy limitations, and learn from each other's successes. Vendors and consultants are encouraged to join to share their experiences both as requestors of data and providers of solutions. 

 

This event is brought to you by the VA AWWA | VWEA Technology Services Committee. There is no cost, and you don't need to register.  For Zoom connection information, please email cynthia@vaawwa.org

 

Please note that this session will not be recorded or transcribed in order to encourage active conversation and participation.
