The water industry is a valuable and often overlooked asset to a functioning, successful society. Water utilities have dreams and nightmares about the communities they serve touring their treatment plants. To educate and benefit the public, consider using three‐dimensional (3D) printing to create models of water distribution and treatment systems.

While water professionals celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) in 2024, this year also marks the Partnership for Safe Water's 29‐year milestone of supporting advances in water utility optimization. Although the Partnership was established 21 years after SDWA, their histories are inextricably linked. A program originally formed as a voluntary way to encourage utilities to go beyond the Surface Water Treatment Rule (SWTR) requirements of the time has evolved to keep pace with an increasingly complex regulatory environment and an ever‐increasing body of water science knowledge.
