Abstract
This article discusses evaluating water systems for sustainability, or the ability of maintaining financial, technical, or managerial capacity. The National Drinking Water Small System Implementation Working Group reported to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) in 2000 that individual states should consider all possible long‐term solutions, including incentives, tax relief, a utility emergency fund, subsidies, and possibly takeover. The article discusses receivership as a provisional remedy for exceptionally troubled systems, selling considerations, and examining a utility's records to get a true picture of its value. A table listing recent water utility sales in California is provided, along with a list of major providers of financial assistance to drinking water systems.
