Watts has announced an upcoming educational webinar titled Advancing Backflow Awareness to Safeguard Public Water, scheduled to air live on July 24, 2025, at 12 p.m. ET. The session is designed for professionals involved in backflow prevention and public water safety, including public drinking water officials and regulators, cross-connection control program managers, backflow testers and installers, and members of water utilities and industry associations.
The webinar will be led by Watts Regional Sales Manager Sara Hiers and will focus on the findings of a recent nationwide homeowner survey conducted by Watts. These results shed light on key gaps in public knowledge and offer actionable insights to help professionals strengthen education efforts and build greater support for backflow prevention programs.
Attendees will learn how to identify the challenges of communicating backflow risks to the public, understand current homeowner awareness levels, and apply strategies that effectively reach modern audiences. The session will also explore tools and communication channels that align with how today’s homeowners prefer to receive information.
Participants who attend the full webinar will receive a Certificate of Completion, which may be submitted for professional development hours. Acceptance is subject to individual state or organizational requirements.
