According to an October AWWA survey, key issues facing water sector utilities and service providers in the U.S. and Canada are hiring difficulties and supply chain issues. Hiring, employee turnover, staffing continuity, and chemical supply chain issues are among the list of top challenges. What is the outlook for the water sector and where do utilities turn for help in addressing these COVID-related impacts? The Bluefield team discusses the potential for accelerating adoption of third-party services in the water sector.
