🌎💧 Sharing Knowledge. Advancing Innovation. Building Global Connections.
Portland Water District recently welcomed an international delegation through the World Affairs Council of Maine and the U.S. Department of State’s International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP).
The visit provided an opportunity to discuss how technology is transforming water utilities and supporting more efficient operations.
From improving how we collect and use data to making informed decisions about our infrastructure, technology continues to play an important role in the future of water utilities.
The IVLP brings current and emerging leaders from around the world to the United States to exchange knowledge, share experiences, and build lasting professional relationships. We appreciated the opportunity to showcase PWD’s work, exchange ideas, and learn from one another.
