<p>Many white-led and -dominant organizations are seeking to partner more effectively with BIPOC-led and EJ organizations. Meaningful partnerships, however, take work. Often what we think of as “partnerships” are misguided, transactional relationships with individuals, communities and organizations. To form meaningful partnerships that are not grounded in white supremacy and saviorism, we must center establishing trust and building mutual respect.</p>

<p>The seventh annual Jersey Water Works Conference is a multi-day virtual event that will bring together more than 300 state and local community members, decision-makers, practitioners, and stakeholders to confront the threat of climate change with innovative solutions for our aging water infrastructure. Explore a variety of approaches to ensure every community can access new federal and state funding for water. Connect with water champions and members who continue to amplify the importance of addressing New Jersey’s water infrastructure.</p>
<p>The conference is presented by Jersey Water Works, a collaborative of diverse individuals and organizations working to transform New Jersey’s inadequate water infrastructure through sustainable, cost-effective solutions that provide communities with clean water and waterways; healthier, safer neighborhoods; local jobs; flood and climate resilience; and economic growth.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Responding to the combined sewer overflow (CSO) problem is more than a matter of complying with permit requirements. Spending hundreds of millions of dollars in ways that do not improve municipal quality of life is not the optimal solution. Using redevelopment as a tool to improve CSO results should be seriously considered.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><b>Note</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">: This event is intended for permittees and planners in NJ CSO municipalities.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This workshop is designed to help municipal planners, drinking water/sewer utility officials, and municipal development officials understand the ways in which they can reduce sewage generation through water conservation and redevelopment design, including stormwater systems retrofits and green infrastructure. It will also cover the utilization of public spaces in ways that help resolve CSOs while reducing customer costs and improving the quality of life and resilience of CSO neighborhoods and municipalities. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This virtual event, co-hosted by Jersey Water Works and the American Planning Association New Jersey chapter, will include a combination of presentations, facilitated discussions, and a virtual tour. This workshop has been approved for 2 Certification Maintenance credits through the American Institute of Certified Planners.</span></p>

This webinar will feature one of these investment options— Housing and Urban Development’s Section 108 Loan Guarantee Program. This federal loan program can be used to address community resilience projects aimed at benefiting low- and moderate- income communities, and for organizations looking to improve water systems, eligible projects include waterfront fortification, green infrastructure improvements, and water infrastructure improvements.</p>

<p><strong>EPA Agricultural Municipal Partnerships</strong></p>
<p>Watersheds can benefit when municipal water treatment plants invest in conservation practices on nearby farms. These agricultural-municipal partnerships reflect a commitment to integrated planning across the complete water cycle with a strong emphasis on a highly collaborative and inclusive approach to watershed health improvement. By drawing on an integrated watershed approach, these partnerships unlock additional alternatives to address watershed health stressors and bring a broader array of watershed participants into the mix to craft solutions and take action for watershed health improvement.</p>
<p>You are invited to attend a 75-minute webinar that will discuss three different agricultural-municipal partnerships. You will hear experiences from the City of Boise, Miami Conservancy District, and Kansas Center for Agricultural Resources and the Environment. This webinar will feature presentations where speakers will share their experiences and reflect on lessons learned. There will also be time for Q+A.</p>
