Self-Assessment
Tool for
Small Community Decision Makers (576
KB pdf file)
Providing
drinking water, wastewater, and solid waste services are important
functions for small community governments. This self-assessment
guide, designed to be use by decision makers in small communities,
is structured to identify areas where improvements can be
made in the management of environmental services.
Questions will elicit simple yes, no, don’t know, or
not applicable responses. Answers that are colored indicate
areas where training or additional information may be needed
to help improve environmental services. The guide assumes
that the community has municipal control of their wastewater,
drinking water, and solid waste systems. This assumption will
not be true for all communities, so not all questions will
be applicable to all communities. However, even in cases where
the community does not have municipal control of a particular
service, for example when a service has been contracted to
a private company, there may still be some questions that
are applicable in that section.
Examples of types of officials who will find this guide useful
include small town mayors, town managers, town clerks, county
commissioners, and member of governing boards or committees
for water, wastewater, and solid waste services.
Small community officials using this guide can contact the
National Environmental Service Center (NESC) to provide training
and assistance when areas where improvements could be made
are identified. NESC can provide assistance in a number of
ways including providing targeted training, providing educational
materials, or referring local decision makers to other organizations
who also provide assistance or training. To get assistance
from NESC, call 800-624-8301 and ask to speak to a training
specialist.
