Local officials seeking a path forward for a water or sewer utility have many choices. Hire an operator. Share staff or resources with other public systems. Merge with a nearby system.

We have put together a comprehensive guide help local leaders make well-informed decisions. As part of their public service to citizens, elected and appointed local leaders are called upon to oversee the delivery of these services and make far-reaching decisions which affect the quality of life of every individual who lives, works, or visits locally. This guide can help you navigate this often complex web of decisions. Read or download it here.
