Οι υπηρεσίες κοινής ωφέλειας που αφορούν στην ύδρευση - αποχέτευση καταβάλλουν εξαιρετικές προσπάθειες για να συνεχίσουν να παρέχουν υπηρεσίες στους πελάτες τους κατά τη διάρκεια της πανδημίας COVID-19, παρά το μεγάλο βάρος που τους έχει προκαλέσει.
Ειδικά σε αυτές τις αβέβαιες στιγμές, οι υπηρεσίες κοινής ωφελείας στρέφονται στους συναδέλφους τους για πληροφορίες, έμπνευση και υποστήριξη. Η GWOPA και οι συνεργάτες προωθούν την ανταλλαγή γνώσεων και την εταιρική σχέση μη κερδοσκοπικού χαρακτήρα. Αυτός είναι ο λόγος για τον οποίο διοργανώνεται μια σειρά διαδικτυακών σεμιναρίων σχετικά με τις απαντήσεις και τις προκλήσεις που αντιμετωπίζουν οι φορείς εκμετάλλευσης νερού και αποχέτευσης COVID-19.
