In this joint discussion, Raymond J. Faust, Executive Secretary, American Water Works Association, New York, NY, states that successful water utilities (municipal department, special district or authority, or an investor‐owned utility) must be customer oriented, future oriented, value oriented, profit oriented, and board oriented. Garvin H. Dyer, Vice‐President, Missouri Water Company, Independence, MO, discusses manpower and personnel challenges facing the water industry. He urges ever‐increasing numbers of better educated, highly skilled managers, engineers, and technicians be added to the workforce to carry out the everyday tasks.
