State Implementation
Capacity development is crucial for water systems to acquire and maintain technical, managerial, and financial capabilities in order to consistently provide safe drinking water. Federal requirements mandate new public water systems to demonstrate capacity, with states required to have strategies to assist in capacity development. State implementations include citizen advisory board recommendations, training programs, and transition to technical assistance and financing. Ongoing activities focus on operations, maintenance, best practices, and regional coordination in achieving capacity development goals.
