Strategies for Small Wastewater Systems for Risk Reduction and Safeguarding Assets

Abstract

This report identifies security-related practices applicable for typical small, rural wastewater systems focusing on security practices consistent with the technical, managerial, and financial capacity of small systems. It identifies a series of security-related "Practice Areas" that can be implemented in the near term with modest expenditure of financial and/or staff resources. Additionally, the report outlines a strategy to help small utilities define and implement programs for ongoing, sustainable security enhancement. Published by WERF. 64 pages. Soft cover and online PDF. (2009)

Originally funded as WERF project 04-CTS-12S.
