Innovation in water, as elsewhere, requires the right legal and policy infrastructure. State and local statutes, ordinances, rules, regs, and processes can act as barriers—or be perceived as such even when they may not be. WaterNow specializes in addressing legal and policy issues around financing, implementing and upscaling climate resilient water strategies.
Whether crafting ordinances to limit “non-functional turf,” or ensuring that GSI can be paid for with SRF dollars, or designing One Water planning frameworks, WaterNow digs into the details to solve problems and put solutions in place. We are at our wonky best when commenting on Intended Use Plans to open new funding opportunities, unpacking public finance statutes, or conducting workshops on the intricacies of accounting standards that actually don’t prohibit utilities from debt financing consumer incentives.
Check out our many resources on legal and policy pathways to a more affordable water future.
