Proactive-to Be or Not to Be

Abstract

This paper, by case study, reiterates the ongoing need to assess the cost implications of being proactive versus delay and avoidance of wastewater and other infrastructure needs. It also demonstrates the challenge of communicating those implications with elected officials and the public. Finally, consistent with the Water's Worth It campaign, this paper demonstrates the need to promote the value and relative affordability of wastewater related services to other conveniences the public enjoys.
