As part of its 2002 Strategic Business Plan, the Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission (WSSC) adopted a new Strategic Initiative to increase revenue from new
sources. This Initiative has prompted WSSC to pursue opportunities in a variety of
different areas, including some not normally considered by a public water and
wastewater agency.
The WSSC has entered into several performance-based contracts, the most successful
of which are an audit of our billing systems, and a partnership with a private utility.
WSSC is also submitting proposals for the privatization of utility systems for nearby
Department of Defense military bases, marketing excess capacity at its new
consolidated environmental laboratory, hiring out its engineers and other staff as
consultants. These various endeavors resulted in FY'03 revenues of $4M, with
additional projected new revenues of $5M to $25M a year. This paper discusses the
various avenues being pursued, the relative success of each, and where this initiative
may lead WSSC in the future. Includes figures.
