In this conversation, Dr. Reshmina William of ISLE Utilities discusses the Trial Reservoir Program, a unique initiative designed to de-risk piloting and trials for water and wastewater innovation technologies. The program supports vendors and end users by providing a revolving loan fund that absorbs the costs of unsuccessful trials. Dr. William highlights the global impact of the program, including specific reservoirs for minority-led utilities and disadvantaged communities. She emphasizes the need for innovative technologies, particularly in lead detection and PFAS management, and the importance of procedural justice in technology implementation. The conversation concludes with a call to action for technology vendors and utility end users to engage with the program.
