  <title>WEF Discussion Forums : Biological Nutrient Removal : Account executives for large commercial users?</title>

  <description><![CDATA[<root><p>I work with a municipal wastewater department in Tampa. We have formed a committee to formulate policies for credit adjustments, debt </p>
<p>collection for arrears commercial accounts, and other issues as they pertain to our department, solid waste, and water. We were wondering if other municipalities have "account executive-type" positions. These staff people, in addition to other duties, would serve as department </p>
<p>liaisons for large commercial account holders and would be the "go-to" guys for these account holders no matter the problem. They would</p>
<p>meet with their accounts and discuss conservation issues, operations and maintenance concerns, anything and everything as it relates </p>
<p>water usage, increase or decreases in usage, fee changes, etc. For example, one of our large users had a noticeable decrease in the</p>
<p>amount of water used in a six month timeframe. After ruling out meter issues and talking to the plant manager we discovered they had</p>
<p>retrofitted their equipment with new technology that used less water. Unfortunately, this is not something we do on a regular basis and</p>
<p>are thinking perhaps we should. So, is anyone else doing this as part of core business? Do you have dedicated account exectives or</p>
<p>do you have staff with other responsibilities, and this is just one of them?</p></root>
