Drinking Water - Capacity Development
About Capacity Development
The Federal Safe Drinking Water Act requires states to adopt a strategy for ensuring that new and existing public water systems have the required technical, managerial and financial capacity to provide safe and adequate water to their consumers.
The Capacity Development Program is responsible for:
- Overseeing and implementing Nebraska’s Capacity Development Strategy;
- Coordinating services to assist public water systems with technical, managerial and financial concerns using the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund;
- Providing training to water system personnel regarding capacity development, asset management and other related activities.
What is Capacity Development?
Successful and sustainable public water systems arise from the robust integration of Technical expertise, Managerial leadership and Financial stability. Short and Long-Term Planning provides a firm foundation for effective capacity development.
