POSITIVE BENEFITS TO REGIONALIZATION
1. Centralized Management (shared manager, office
resources, and special services). 2.
Centralized Operations and Maintenance (use of
circuit riding operators and automated
plants). 3. Shared equipment, tools, and
technical resources. 4. Common Operating Fees
(Avg. water and sewer bills are 42
each). 5. Elimination of short sighted municipal
interest (both political and/or
individual). 6. Encourages planning (both short
term and long term). 7. Encourages good
stewardship of both natural and human
resources.
