The Merit of a Municipal Service Review and the Potential Application for Southeastern Louisiana Water Suppliers

ABSTRACT
Municipal services are essential to the maintenance of a civil society. Without these services, clean water would not be available, sewerage would run through the streets, and transportation would be nonexistent. It is because of this that we should strive to improve these services whenever possible. Evaluating the current state of services is imperative to discovering potential efficiencies of scale that can result in better service. When multiple municipalities are operating similar facilities in relatively close proximity, it would behoove them to evaluate their systems and ensure that the most benefit is being generated for their constituents by operating an individual municipal facility. Because they draw from the same water source, Southeastern Louisiana municipalities providing water service are ripe for a Municipal Service Review to evaluate the potential benefit of a combined utility or the potential for shared best management practices.
