Water utilities are starting to break down internal silos as compliance pressures grow more complex.
Mick O’Dwyer of SwiftComply says utilities across the U.S. are increasingly consolidating programs like backflow prevention, FOG management, industrial pretreatment, and stormwater compliance into shared compliance offices instead of operating them as separate teams. The shift allows utilities to share staff, data, resources, and institutional knowledge at a time when many systems are facing workforce shortages, aging infrastructure, and expanding regulatory demands.
For decades, many of these programs operated independently, often using different workflows and disconnected information systems. Bringing them together can improve coordination, streamline inspections, reduce duplication, and help utilities respond more effectively to environmental risks and infrastructure challenges.
