Jacobs Clients Recognized as 2020 Utility of The Future Today Winners

Congratulations to Jacobs’ Operations Management and Facilities Services (OMFS)’ teams, clients and partners – the City of West Melbourne, Florida; City of Berryville, Arkansas; City of Fayetteville, Arkansas; Lehigh County Authority in Allentown, Pennsylvania; City of San Marcos, Texas; Watercare Services Limited in Auckland, New Zealand; and Pima County Regional Wastewater Reclamation District in Tucson, Arizona – who are among 65 water utilities named 2020 Utility of the Future Today (UotFT) winners. The UotFT program recognizes innovation and forward-thinking by water-utility leaders in the spirit of our own pledge of ‘Challenging today. Reinventing tomorrow.’

The UotFT program was launched in 2016 as a joint initiative between the National Association of Clean Water Agencies, the Water Environment Federation, the Water Research Foundation and the WateReuse Association, with input from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The program recognizes water utilities for transformational work in community engagement, watershed stewardship and recovery resources such as water, energy and nutrients.

“Our projects and clients are at the forefront of transforming their operations and utilities through innovation and technology, taking our utilities into the future,” says Vice President of Global OMFS Steve Meininger. “The communities we serve can be assured their water and wastewater utilities deliver the best possible return in cost efficiency, public health and resiliency. I applaud our clients and teams on their creativity and dedication, and congratulate them for continuing to improve the quality of life in their communities.”
