WWT’s Drinking Water Quality will return in 2026! This event brings the opportunity to discuss and understand the most up to date challenges in drinking water quality and explore the impacts of new regulation and legislation.

This conference boasts an expert speaker lineup and provides a unique opportunity for water companies, regulators, engineers, academics, solution providers and more to gather together as we begin AMP8 and prepare for PR29 - a critical moment in the UK water industry’s evolution.  
Maintaining a high standard of drinking water quality and security of supply across the UK is a high priority, to improve public perception and ensure positive reputations across the industry. As the sector prepares to roll out novel treatment strategies, local and major projects, embrace digital tools and innovative new partnerships, the DWQ Conference is designed to help you understand how to overcome any barriers here and streamline processes.
