with 🎙️ Josiah Cox, founder and president of Central States Water Resources 

💧 Central States Water Resources transforms how water utilities work by acquiring small, often non-compliant systems and then using expertise, technology, and innovation to quickly assess and turn them into reliable infrastructure.

What we covered:

3️⃣ The regulatory, financial, and technical burdens of consolidating water systems and how to overcome them 

🎛️ How with 800 M&A moves and 80 in 2021 alone, Central States Water Resources is 1% through its consolidation mission 

⚖️ How CSWR aims to build the appropriate scale between radically decentralized systems and large-scale metropolitan water infrastructure in a distributed fashion 

💊 Increased regulations and their consequences, PFAS, Bottled Water, Funding, Solving complex issues with proven technology… and much more!
