Justifying Internet Access

Many of you will need to justify the costs of Internet access to your City Council. There are many benefits of having Internet access. Below are only a few points from Don Voit, President of Energencies.

• Distribute/provide information on-line such as sewer fees, sewer use ordnance, hauled waste rates, etc..
• A web page is a great public relations tool where people can look up information on the plant and tour information.
• Getting your employee's involved on a web page may help boost moral and help instill a sense of pride.
• Reports and information from regulatory agencies are being put on line and there are future plans for more.
• There are many discussion forums to dicusss any operational problems you are having with other professionals. This itself is worth the price of the Internet!
• Facilitate communications with others in the wastewater field.
• No postage or long distance phone fees to communicate with others in different areas.
