Utility managers are charged with providing safe
and reliable water services to current and future
customers. Sustainability has emerged as an influential
utility strategy that guides the organization's

their customers' day-to-day and long-term needs.
These sustainability strategies improve resource
efficiency, direct long-term investment strategies,

The article describes a wide range of technologies
and programs that can be considered when
adapting a portfolio of strategies to include the

approaches for delivering safe and reliable services

successfully navigate the public and political interactions
that are an integral part of successful utility
planning and ensure more reliable sources of water
now, and in the future. Includes table, figures.
