The seventh Emerging Water Technology Symposium (EWTS) returned as an in-person event for the first time in four years, bringing together industry, manufacturing, water utility and government leaders from around the world.

The public hearing for review of the proposed code changes for the 2024 NSPC will take place 8 a.m.-5 p.m. ET, Aug. 11, at the Tropicana Casino and Resort in Atlantic City. 

After a four-year hiatus, the Emerging Water Technology Symposium (EWTS) returns to being an in-person event, held May 10-12 in San Antonio. The biannual event first began in 2008 and was held regularly until the COVID-19 pandemic derailed the meeting in 2020. Last year, organizers opted to host a virtual event due to a spike in coronavirus cases.

The cost is $39 each.

The revised software, available online at no charge, adds the ability to compare projected costs and energy usage for all HVAC systems and hot water consumption in any building based on what is known before money is spent on selection of the HVAC and water heating systems, and almost all inputs may be adjusted once the design process begins.

No proposals will be accepted after the 5 p.m. PST deadline on March 4, 2022.
