CMOM Is Good Business For Wastewater Utilities

Is your utility maintaining its wastewater system assets for the long term? Are you concerned about sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs)? Are you in an organization that wants to maximize its productivity?

If the answer to any of these questions is yes, it’s time to take a closer look at the advantages provided by CMOM (Capacity, Management, Operation, and Maintenance), as well as the use of a Computerized Work Management System (CWMS) to develop and document your CMOM program.

CMOM is a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) program aimed at minimizing SSOs through improved management, operations, and maintenance, and helping wastewater utilities operate more effectively.

CMOM embodies the best work practices of wastewater utilities, including documentation and management of work activities using technology. In its current format, it has 152 individual program elements that address the entire scope of wastewater management, operations, and maintenance.

Our CMOM team includes consultants who have operated wastewater utilities and have provided expertise to wastewater utilities in the areas of best work practices and technology.

Voluntary CMOM program in the southeastern U.S. (EPA Region 4) impacts eight states and 81 utilities, and its influence is becoming apparent nationally in permits and enforcement.
