Shared Services & Regional Solutions Workshop
Wensday, March 15, 2023
OHIO University Inn & Conference Center, Athens, Ohio
8:00 am - 3:00 pm
Many factors are driving more water and sewer utilities to consider shared services and regional solutions, including the tightening workforce, increasing costs, and increasing complexity to meet customer expectations and regulatory requirements. RCAP staff will offer ideas, strategies, and resources to help small water and sewer systems begin the conversation of opportunities to share services. Participants will learn how to assess the strengths and weaknesses of their systems to determine potential needs and resources to share. We’ll explore ideas and examples to share equipment, personnel, and infrastructure, and challenge participants to think outside the box in brainstorming solutions. We’ll discuss best practices to overcome hurdles, develop fair contracts, and be a good partner in sharing, providing or receiving services across boundaries.

Free Training and Facilitation Services at Your Location
RCAP can offer small water and sewer systems serving fewer than 10,000 people free on site training and facilitation for local boards and councils.
We offer many types of training and facilitation to help local decision makers lead their local utilities and communities more effectively. The list below includes several training modules and facilitation workshops we can offer at your location. Communities agree to have a quorum of decision makers and may invite neighboring boards, councils, system managers and other local officials to join. Some of these may also offer 'x' contact hours for operators in attendance.
Contact us today to discuss your oversight board training needs.
Project Development
Are you facing a large water or sewer capital improvement or expansion project? Do you need to learn how to manage it? Ohio RCAP, in cooperation with the Ohio Water Development Authority (OWDA), has developed a training course that explains the roles and responsibilities of decision making boards and engineering consultants through the planning, design and construction phases of a major capital improvement project.
The Art & Science of Rate Setting
Are you facing a utility rate increase? Not sure which way to turn? Ohio RCAP, in cooperation with the OWDA, has developed a short course for decisionmakers about setting equitable and sustainable utility rates.
Bring Your Board Together
Does your board or council have a stated mission and level of service goals? Are they in-line with the needs and community development goals for your community? Are you using these as a framework to steer decision-making throughout the organization. RCAP can help facilitate your board through visioning, goal setting and strategic planning.
Regional Solutions
Does your water or sewer system need to consider alternatives to partner with another system to provide wastewater treatment, bulk water, or completely merge? Do you need assistance in determining a fair bulk rate? Do you need a neutral third party facilitator for negotiations? RCAP may be able to help. Give us a call!
