Description: Bulk agreements are vital to small wastewater utilities as many small systems either increase revenue by treating wastewater from neighboring systems or decrease responsibility and cost of operating a treatment plant by pumping wastewater to another utility. These partnerships can help a utility be resilient in the face of population change, aging infrastructure issues, and changes in regulations. However, it can be challenging to ensure that these agreements address all the aspects of the partnership, including compliance, treatment, capacity, capital improvements, and non-payment. This webinar will highlight the benefits as well as potential pitfalls for small systems considering creating a bulk agreement.

This webinar will be focused on bulk agreements for wastewater utilities, but many of the principles apply to water utilities as well.

Learning Objectives:

  • Learn the definition of a bulk agreement and see examples
  • Understand the benefits of bulk agreements for wastewater treatment
