Join us in Riverside for the 53rd Annual Pretreatment, Pollution Prevention, and Stormwater (P3S) Conference!

From February 10–12, 2026, immerse yourself in three days of collaboration, innovation, and learning centered on this year’s theme—“Building Stewards of Water.”

Hosted at the Riverside Convention Center, P3S26 brings together professionals from across California to explore how each of us can protect, preserve, and champion clean water for future generations. Whether you’re a new inspector, seasoned regulator, or environmental leader, this is your opportunity to grow your knowledge, strengthen connections, and be part of the statewide movement shaping the next 50 years of clean water protection.

Why Attend

• Opening General Session: Hear from leading voices on the challenges and opportunities of recycled water reuse, regional flood management, and resource recovery—all through the lens of stewardship.
   

• Diverse Technical Tracks: Engage in sessions on Compliance & Enforcement, Inspector Academy, Communication, Resource Recovery, EPA Updates, Laboratory Practices, Stormwater Management, ECI Test Prep and more—each designed to give you practical tools and fresh perspectives.

• Workshops: Deepen your expertise in focused workshops on FOG Programs and Laboratory Analysis

• Networking: Connect with regulators, utilities, consultants, and vendors during refreshment breaks, lunches, and the lively Signature Event—a fun, social evening celebrating the P3S community.

• Recognition & Inspiration: Join us for the P3S Awards and Grants presentations, honoring the people and projects that exemplify true stewardship in action.

As P3S Chair Tim Ridley reminds us, “Stewardship is more than a value—it’s a promise. Together, we are building stewards of water, guardians for the next fifty years and beyond.”
