An article published by the AWWA which talks about how the ownership boundary between the utility and the customer is becoming increasingly blurred – especially in situations of contamination, such as occurred in Flint, MI.
I think this is relevant for warranty-minded utilities because warranty programs could be a great way of demonstrating (and legally evidencing) communication to customers of their ownership responsibilities – and therefore a good reason why systems should start or join warranty programs if they can!.
