Why "We’ve Always Done It This Way" Is Holding Utilities Back In episode 36 of Aquasight’s 21st Century Water Podcast, Pittsburgh Water CEO Will Pickering calls out one of the most frustrating roadblocks in government and utilities: the resistance to change. "There is nothing that boils my blood more than that phrase." The water industry is at a critical crossroads. Many utilities acknowledge the need for improvement, yet some continue to fall back on outdated methods simply because they are familiar. But as Pickering points out,if the current approach isn’t working, why keep doing it? What Needs to Change? Utilities must embrace a culture of learning, adaptability, and customer-centric innovation without compromising public health and safety. This means: ??Rethinking the customer experience ??Modernizing project delivery ??Building a flexible, forward-thinking team The Takeaway? The future of water management depends on leaders willing to challenge the status quo. It’s time to stop saying, "This is how we’ve always done it," and start asking, "How can we do it better?"
