Utility Management Community

The main goal of the Utility Management Community is to promote the adoption of effective and sustainable management practices across all aspects of wastewater utility operations.

The community shall review, analyze and share the latest techniques and strategies for the best management of organizations and the successful operation of effective utilities, professional consulting practices, or any organization engaged in the management of water and wastewater operations. It shall endeavor to develop appropriate and timely educational and outreach tools and techniques (workshops, presentations, webinars, white papers, technical sessions at the annual conference, written manuals of practice) to educate and train utility managers at all levels to meet the ongoing mission, goals and objectives of the Water Environment Federation.

The community meets twice per year to conduct the business of the Committee, to receive updates on current WEF management initiatives, and to continue work on the annual action programs of each of the community subcommittees.
