Black & Veatch's management consulting division, Enterprise Management Solutions, has announced the availability of its 2007 National Stormwater Utility Survey. The survey is conducted every other year and is designed to help industry professionals stay informed about ongoing issues.
The survey is part of Black & Veatch's goal to provide information that assists the water industry in long-term resource planning to address storm water challenges and sustain the quality of life in the communities it serves. Survey respondents range from municipalities and utilities with a few thousand to a million or more customer accounts. The 2007 survey offers insights into planning, operations, administration and financial management of U.S. and Canadian storm water utilities.
"The most substantial issues facing storm water utilities in the 2007 survey pertain to user fees and billing, quality issues and educating the public on challenges and costs associated in complying with storm water regulations, said Peggy Howe, vice president of Black & Veatch's water consulting practice. "The survey respondents are quite open about the major challenges they face and the way they are addressing the significant events affecting water utilities across North America."
