Municipalities face growing pressure to maintain aging infrastructure while managing tight budgets and rising resident expectations. Strategic partnerships offer a powerful solution—connecting cities and towns with established contractor networks that deliver reliable, high-quality service line repair and replacement programs directly to residents.
In this webinar, we'll explore how public-private partnerships between municipalities and service line program providers create a win-win-win: cities expand resident services without budget impact, local contractors gain steady work opportunities, and homeowners receive affordable protection against costly water and sewer line repairs.
Key topics include:
- How strategic partnerships with service line program providers operate at no cost to municipalities
- The role of a vetted, local contractor network in delivering fast, reliable repairs
- Real-world examples of community impact—from reduced resident out-of-pocket costs to improved infrastructure resilience
- How partnership programs support local economies by engaging and growing contractor networks
- Best practices for city managers evaluating public-private partnership opportunities
