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 brought together ministry and utility perspectives from Romania and Greece, complemented by technology insights from Xylem.

The session was designed as a pragmatic, implementation‑focused roundtable that compared national frameworks with utility realities and highlighted where policy meets operations.

By hearing insight from ministry representative and utility, we surfaced concrete challenges, showcase replicable solutions, and frameed near‑term priorities for compliance and performance.

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

This webinar was sponsored by Xylem.
