ISO 14001

The Water Department is the first utility in the nation to integrate the Bid to Goal management tool with the ISO 14001 - certified environmental management system, merging service improvement with environmental responsibility.

ISO 14001 is an international voluntary standard that involves a set of policies and procedures to manage environmental issues as part of our work, and the services we provide. The Water Operations Division earned its ISO 14001 certification in May 2005.

The Water Operations Division is committed to:

• Continual Improvement of our Environmental Management System
