Financially Sustainable Water Infrastructure Initiative

A joint initiative by members of the Environmental Finance Center Network

Is your community water/wastewater system financially sustainable?

 One of the greatest challenges of water and wastewater system management is ensuring the system’s financial health. The purpose of this initiative is to equip system managers, operators and staff with the tools to evaluate system financial health, to educate the utility board and the public and to overcome political barriers to making the system financially sustainable.
