The water business is not a one-man show.
It’s a collaborative effort, often involving a complex network of clients, contractors, technologists, suppliers, and subcontractors.
Welcome to another Tuesday’s edition — exclusive to those who choose to engage more deeply with us through our paid membership.
Each has a specific role, yet all work toward a single purpose (theorically…).
Within that common goal lies one of the biggest and most underestimated challenges in our industry — the Division of Responsibilities, or DOR.
Every project has a scope, a list of things to be done, delivered, installed, or guaranteed.
But within that scope, there must also be a clear split of who does what — who designs, who supplies, who installs, who tests, and who guarantees performance.
And that’s where most problems start.
