Public Education Packets

We all know there are many challenges faced while running a water system. One of the largest and most important aspects of operations is public education. It is imperative to keep yourself, the staff and, most importantly, your water users educated on evolving concepts and current issues. An educated public is more likely to be a cooperative public; we fear what we know nothing about. Public education can also share the liability which some issues, such as cross connections, bring to a water system. BMI recommends starting with education for your staff and leadership, such as boards, directors and council, before distributing public education materials to your customers. We have several packages that will address both these groups with customized material specific to your water system.
