Water Utility Management International

Water Utility Management International focuses on the needs and interests of senior water utility managers. The aim is to provide those heading water and wastewater utilities with an international reference point on the strategic issues affecting their organisations. Water Utility Management International will also be of value to consultants and others following developments in this area.

Presented in a newsletter format, Water Utility Management International contains news, interviews, and in-depth briefings on topical issues. Other articles take an executive briefing approach or are based on landmark case studies. Regular themes for articles will include financing, investment, regulation and personnel matters. There is also a central theme of achieving efficiency in water utilities, encompassing topics such as benchmarking, billing, tariffs, IT and service standards.
