The industry must take an organized, proactive stance. The industry must become better at anticipating public sentiment on various aspects of water supply and treatment and get in front of the issues as a trusted authority. Shared agendas and the promotion of common sentiments (such as protection of a watershed) allow utilities to build allegiances with key groups. Finally, utility executives must find new ways to measure public sentiments and anticipate concerns.
