Our services include the initiation and oversight of a program that assists the City in making sound operational and financial decisions while providing optimal and systematic risk management. Our team works as an extension of City staff, overseeing and managing the workgroups related to the wastewater, sewer collection, treatment, and effluent disposal system. In addition to re-training City staff, improving O&M management strategies, and re-commissioning the facilities, we have worked to integrate the SSMP into the normal O&M workflow activities and manage all reporting activities. The Operations Support team also provides ongoing technical support to the O&M team, assisting them with process troubleshooting, strategic asset management, corrective maintenance support, SOP updates, standard operator checklists, additional technical training, and updating emergency contingency plans.
By hiring us to oversee and manage their program, the City receives the best of both worlds: lower costs due to in-house staffing of the plant, and high quality service due to the targeted expertise of highly qualified personnel.
