EWA/ Xylem Webinar: Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive Implementation: Challenges and Opportunities

Online Webinar

How are Member States turning the Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive (UWWTD) into practice?

This webinar brings together ministry and utility perspectives from Romania and Greece, complemented by technology insights from Xylem.

The session is designed as a pragmatic, implementation‑focused roundtable that compares national frameworks with utility realities and highlights where policy meets operations.

By hearing insight from ministry representative and utility,  we’ll surface concrete challenges, showcase replicable solutions, and frame near‑term priorities for compliance and performance.

Each speaker will identify one key challenge and one opportunity, giving attendees a concise, actionable outlook they can apply in their own context.

Join us for this webinar sponsored by Xylem.
