The project is aimed at identifying practices that have proven successful in the retention of water operators. It also involves marketing these “best practices,” in the form of case studies, to other systems in order to improve their operator retention.

This project is being funded by the Southeast Regional Small Public Water Systems Technical Assistance Center (SETAC). In an earlier project funded by SETAC, the EFC produced a “Guidebook to Financial Leadership for Water Utility Boards.” This current project seeks to update that Guidebook by adding a module on the relationship between the governing boards and operators of drinking water utilities.
