Position Statements
The Water Environment Federation has developed a series of clean water position statements to guide the critical work WEF provides in clean water policy.
These position statements provide the public and clean water professionals with an understanding of how WEF approaches the topics and issues regarding the availability of clean water. Existing position statements are regularly reviewed and updated through the leadership of the Government Affairs Committee, and new position statements are developed as new topics arise in the clean water sector. WEF members contribute to the development and updating of these documents through collaborative efforts between various technical committees and the Government Affairs Committee.
WEF members and staff are currently working to update and develop several position statements, which will be posted as soon as they are approved by the WEF Board of Trustees. If you have any questions about Position statements, please email Amy Kathman at akathman@wef.org.
