Small Systems Trustee – South

Mark Schmitter, Trustee

Everyone in the water industry is being impacted by continued concerns of the labor shortage and difficulties in obtaining needed materials in a timely manner. Small systems with limited resources need to make sure to keep a close eye on inventory, and plan for longer lead times for supply delivery. Maintain good relationships with your supply house salesman. This can help you predict which items are most impacted and need to be ordered ahead.

If you are interested in learning more about how all parts of the industry are being impacted by supply chain issues, please attend the Supply Chain Impacts session at our 2022 Annual Conference. This session will include representatives from many different sectors of the industry, who will discuss this issue and provide information about how you can plan for delays and maintain positive relationships through this challenging time.
