What happened
Charles Bott, Chief Technology Officer for the Hampton Roads Sanitation District, is leading the Sustainable Water Initiative for Tomorrow (SWIFT) research program. SWIFT aims to find faster, cheaper, and safer methods for treating wastewater for nearly two million customers across 20 cities and counties along the coast. The district has developed new ways to remove pollutants that cause dead zones in the Chesapeake Bay and launched a project that could restore regional groundwater.

Why it matters
The initiative is supported by 12 active patents and 32 Water Research Foundation projects, reflecting a significant effort to improve water infrastructure. The district has long faced issues related to water shortages, which date back over a hundred years.
High water bills affect the Hampton Roads Sanitation District, which is managed by Newport News Waterworks.
