In this episode, F&C reporter Brian Johnson talks to Steve Nelson, WSB’s new director of water/wastewater. Nelson is a 30-year veteran of water and wastewater infrastructure projects.

He also helped write the expert witness report for a natural resource damages case the state of Minnesota brought against 3M, seeking payment for damage caused by the company’s disposal of forever chemicals in the east metro. In 2018, the parties entered into an agreement that required 3M to pay $850 million.

Nelson talks about his new role at WSB and the outlook for the water and wastewater sector.
