AWWA-20689 Operational Guide to AWWA Standard G400, Utility Management System
Operational Guide to AWWA Standard G400, Utility Management
System, provides additional information to water
utilities for implementing ANSI/AWWA Standard G400, Utility
Management System, which sets out critical requirements
for water utility management. Standard G400 was created to respond to
a widespread need of utility managers to have some consistency in approach and
some reliability in knowing what is generally expected of utilities in all
areas of utility management. The standard was developed using the same formal,
ANSI-recognized, AWWA-managed process as all other AWWA Standards. Operational Guide to AWWA
Standard G400, Utility Management System helps utility managers (1)
understand the purpose and function of standard G400 and (2) implement and
incorporate the standard into everyday utility operations. The guide describes
all the policies and processes needed to create, maintain, and continually
improve a Utility Management System, including:
- Committment of
Resources
- Legal, Regulatory, and Other Requirements
- Standard ComplianceTracking and Measuring Improvement
- Communication
- Training
- Emergency Preparedness
- Documentation
- Human Resources
The guide provides examples of methods or procedures that
illustrate how to incorporate and implement the various parts of AWWA
Standard G400 to create a Utility Management System. Sample forms,
documents, questionnaires, and checklists are also included.
