Abstract
Key Takeaways In an interview, members of AWWA's Energy Management Committee share how water utilities can prepare for the future. Adding to its considerable guidance on the topic, AWWA is preparing a new Manual of Practice, M83, Energy Management of Pumping and Treatment Processes. Embracing flexible electric loads and digital technologies, while continuing to address pumping inefficiencies, will help water utilities thrive in a resource‐constrained and energy‐strained future.
