Environmental Management System

 

The City of West Palm Beach Public Utilities Department strives to provide efficient, reliable and economical water, wastewater and storm water services. Protecting our water resources and preventing pollution is an important part of this mission.

 

In 2013, Utilities Department implemented an Environmental Management System (EMS) based on the ISO14001 standard. The ISO14001 EMS enables the Utility to evaluate the environmental impacts of water, wastewater and storm water operations and provides a framework for managing those impacts. The EMS is used to improve resource efficiency, reduce waste, and drive down costs.

 

Having an EMS provides assurance to internal and external stakeholders that bottom-line environmental impact is being considered and quantified, contributing to the environmental pillar of sustainable development.

 

The Public Utilities Department Environmental Management System was verified by an independent, third party auditor and certified to the ISO 14001 standard in 2016.
