The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), along with six leading water and wastewater utility organisations, has announced a statement of intent to ensure the longterm viability of the US'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, the EPA says.
The six trade associations signing this statement of intent are the Water Environment Federation, National Association of Clean Water Agencies, American Water Works Association, Association of Metropolitan Water Agencies, American Public Works Association and the National Association of Water Companies.
Over the next 12 months, EPA and the associations will work with utilities to identify the key attributes of sustainable management. They also will develop measures to gauge utility effectiveness, and develop a strategy to promote widespread adoption of sustainable management practices across the water sector.
