Management & Sustainability Guides
Three technical assistance providers and the State of New Mexico have developed guidebooks to help water and wastewater systems better manage their water resources and plan for their future.
These guidebooks address core issues regarding water system sustainability: auditing water use to reduce water losses and increase system efficiency, financial planning and management to ensure sufficient revenues to sustain operations, and asset management to allow the system to provide a sustained level of service at the lowest life cycle cost. Water and wastewater system owners, operators, managers, and board members will find that these guidebooks are useful tools for assessing the current status of their operations and for developing strategic plans for sustainable water and wastewater service.
