WEF Stormwater Institute National MS4 Needs Assessment Survey Update

The WEF Stormwater Institute completed a first-of-its-kind national municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) needs assessment survey to better understand both the challenges and possibilities to which the regulated sector are subject. The national survey results identified where program gaps exist and opportunities to share lessons among peers. This presentation will focus on the survey objectives, methods, and analysis of the responses. Key take-aways from each survey section and conclusions will also be included. The Stormwater Institute kicked-off the second iteration of the survey in September 2019, with results expected in June 2020. This presentation will touch on the changes that were made to the survey in the second iteration, as well as include any preliminary results that are available at the time of the symposium. In addition, the presentation will include background information on WEF's Stormwater Institute, including the Rainfall to Results report that is as a visioning document for the Institute, as well as the Stormwater Institute's Advisory Committee and Subscribers.
