Fall 2026 Mayors Water Council Meeting

The Fall 2026 Mayors Water Council Meeting will convene on October 8-9 in Livermore, California, to address the major water and wastewater policies and issues facing U.S. cities. The event will bring together Mayors, city leaders, subject-matter experts, business leaders, and representatives from the Environmental Protection Agency. Key discussion topics include cybersecurity threats against water utilities and federal oversight efforts, recent developments in EPA's PFAS Roadmap for drinking water and biosolids, strategies for managing rising utility customer rates and ensuring water affordability, and solutions for critical water supply challenges, particularly in drought-stricken Western cities. The meeting aligns with the Mayors Water Council's mission to assist local governments in providing high-quality, cost-effective water resources, facilitate the sharing of best practices, and respond to federal legislative and policy proposals affecting municipal water services.
