The latest episode of the WQA Podcast features Ted Mondloch, Vice President at Current Strategies, WQA’s lobbying and public-affairs firm in Washington. Mondloch breaks down this year’s water-policy landscape and what industry professionals should be watching as we move into 2026.
He explains how a year that began with uncertainty ultimately delivered positive momentum for the water treatment sector, with the EPA maintaining strong drinking-water protections, PFAS standards, and Lead and Copper Rule improvements. Mondloch also shares promising updates on the Healthy H2O Act, which would expand testing and treatment resources for the 43 million Americans relying on private wells, and offers insight into why policy progress is still possible even in an election year.
