America's Water and Wastewater Industries: Competition and Privatization

Lower costs, better service, fewer budget headaches…privatizing a water system can do this all for you and your company—if you do it right. This book tells you how.

America's Water and Wastewater Industries: Competition and Privatization examines outright sale of properties, design and build options, O&M contracts and service agreements, establishment of "concessions," "managed competition" between public and private-sector operators, outsourcing of non-core activities, and more.

If you're involved with municipal water policies or operations, you can't have a better resource at your fingertips!

Real-life case studies from both large and small communities, step-by-step checklists for contracts and negotiations, actual statutes for privatization and more.
