Best Practices in Stormwater Utilities: Top Ten Ways to Take Your Utility to the Next Level

Feb. 26, 2016

Can you believe it’s been 40 years since the first stormwater utility formed? Now there are over 2,000! And in that time, many “common” practices in organization, rate structures, and data management have become the “standard”. But…there’s a big difference between “standard practice” and “best practice”.

Join speakers Andy Reese and Henrietta Locklear as they challenge stormwater utility “standard” practice, and lay out the top ten real-world best practices from high performing stormwater utilities, and how you can apply them to take your stormwater utility (or future utility) to the next level.

This webinar is scheduled live on Tuesday, March 15 @ 11 a.m. PDT / 2 p.m. EDT, 1-1.5hr.* Register for the event by clicking the button below.

In this webinar, we’ll start with a look at the development of the stormwater utility, the legal standards in place, and the developed “standard” practices (e.g., organization, execution, rate structure, data management, etc.). We’ll explore the rising “second generation” stormwater utility, and how it’s challenging “standard” practice and refocusing on “best practices”. Reese with then outline the top ten best practices currently being employed at high performance stormwater utilities regarding program organization, execution, rate structure, and data management, and their results. And finally, Reese will explain how you can apply these best practices to your stormwater utility (or future utility) to take your organization to the next level.

Whether your stormwater utility is 40 years old or you’re just thinking of forming a stormwater utility, this webinar will lay out the practical best practices to improve the effectiveness and sustainability of your stormwater utility.
