Full-Service Plant Operations and Maintenance

Responsible Water Treatment Plant Services

Municipalities and industrial organizations are challenged to control the quality of discharge water that seeps from their ponds into groundwaters and flows from their plants into nearby waterways. Some organizations must control the quality of makeup water for internal processes, while others must control the quality of water they deliver to external customers.

To meet increasingly strict discharge standards and requirements, and to plan for long-term water sustainability, organizations must:

  • React quickly to changing and existing regulations
  • Embrace environmental stewardship
  • Adopt new technologies
  • Hire and train qualified personnel

Operations Contracts Reduce Staffing Challenges

Hiring new and training existing staff can be difficult and expensive. Faced with finding qualified personnel to operate and maintain water and wastewater treatment plants, organizations find that:

  • A large percentage of today’s operators have less than two years of experience.
  • Many experienced operators are facing retirement within a few years.
  • In certain locations, competition has led to a deficit in qualified personnel.
  • Most projects are temporary, three to 10 years, reducing the return on organizations’ staffing and training investment.

Given these difficulties and the knowledge that establishing plant operations often requires up to three years, many organizations have begun outsourcing their water and wastewater treatment plant operations to professionals.

Outsourcing and contracting are calculated financial options that take into account the challenge of hiring new people, the learning curve and risks of training inexperienced operations staff, and the financial and reputational costs associated with failing to comply with effluent regulations.

Outsourcing also enables organizations to structure performance-based contracts wherein they don’t pay operations costs if contractors fail to deliver the quality and quantity of water in their contracts.
