EPA joined six leading water and wastewater utility organizations to announce a statement of intent to ensure the long-term viability of our nation's water systems to promote effective utility management. The formal partnership will focus on improved water and wastewater utility performance through education, management tools and performance measures. Over the next 12 months, EPA and the associations will work with utilities to identify the key attributes of sustainable management and develop measures to use in gauging utility effectiveness, and develop a strategy to promote widespread adoption of sustainable management practices across the water sector.
