Thesis (Ph.D.)--Stevens Institute of Technology, 2007.

Water resource facilities for large or growth population centers, including water and wastewater treatment plants, have historically been owned by the local governments in which they reside. Since their inception, Publicly-Owned Treatment Works (POTW), as they are referred to, serve their respected communities by providing delivery of water services through traditional delivery mechanisms. In recent years, private companies have developed the ability to offer an array of water management services in those traditional marketplaces. These are referred to as alternative delivery of water services. This option has caused confusion in those who are interested or involved in deciding when alternative delivery options are appropriate to support or replace the traditional delivery methods. Subsequent emotional responses tend to follow and cloud the selection process, if such is pursued further. The problem has been the lack of a more scientific approach in examining the operating features of a POTW, thus making it difficult, many times impossible to make the best decision for those the water facility serves.

Since their inception, Publicly-Owned Treatment Works (POTW), as they are referred to, serve their respected communities by providing delivery of water services through traditional delivery mechanisms. In recent years, private companies have developed the ability to offer an array of water management services in those traditional marketplaces. These are referred to as alternative delivery of water services.

The problem has been the lack of a more scientific approach in examining the operating features of a POTW, thus making it difficult, many times impossible to make the best decision for those the water facility serves.
520 $a This research provides a new methodology using systems based approaches to provide a uniform and repeatable process in determining the appropriate thresholds for considering alternative water delivery as an option to support or replace traditional water delivery. The POTW Systems Engineered Evaluation Model uses a three step process of quantitative, qualitative and economic criteria to evaluate the fitness of a water resource facility as a candidate for alternative delivery. It also provides repeatable evaluation criteria that can be understood and utilized by those interested parties involved in the alternative delivery exercise. The repeatable and scientific protocol provides a mechanism for all parties to fairly and completely see the total impact of a facility so the POTW can either exercise that option, know what level of alternative delivery to consider, or make necessary internal changes within the plant to correct plant issues that triggered the consideration option.
