Building Trust with Community Water Academies
One of the building blocks of trust is Deepening Community Understanding of Utility Roles and Responsibilities. The “Community Water Academy” is designed to fulfill this building block. It provides water managers and stakeholders with a forum to connect and better understand local water issues and needs as one step to creating and maintaining durable partnerships.
The Community Water Academy can be initiated by utilities or community members, and brings interested parties together to open up lines of communication. WaterNow and River Network have developed a comprehensive Guide on how to plan and host a Community Water Academy. The Guide includes step by step instructions as well as customizable templates.
