EMS Handbook for Wastewater Utilities

You’ve now made the decision to implement an EMS at your utility. The EMS Handbook for Wastewater Utilities is designed to help take your utility through each of the steps necessary to develop a high quality EMS, using examples, lessons learned, tips, and other information based on the real world experiences of your peers in other utilities.

This step-by-step guide covers all the elements of EMS implementation, including tracking and evaluating regulatory requirements, determining the activities at your utility that can potentially have the most environmental impact, sustaining your utility processes through operational controls and measuring your environmental performance, to prioritizing limited resources.
