## The challenge

Comprehensive partnership means new standard for safety, quality in O&M of municipal water and wastewater systems.

### The project challenges are:

- Veolia North America responded with an offering that exceeded the municipality's goals for savings, service and support.
- Under an operate/maintain/manage (O&M) program, Veolia has responsibility for Brockton's water facilities (1.98-MGD plant, 0.019-MGD plant, 0.012-MGD plant and water distribution system) and wastewater facilities (1.98-MGD plant and wastewater collection system).
