First water utility in North America to earn ISO 55001 accreditation

The Palm Beach County Water Utilities Department (PBCWUD) has achieved the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 55001 certification for its asset management system. Stantec guided PBCWUD towards becoming the only water utility in North America to receive this distinction.

The British Standards Institute ISO 55001 has become the global benchmark for utilities to effectively manage the balancing of costs, opportunities, and risks over the whole life cycle of an organization’s infrastructure assets. ISO certification signals an organization has proactively ensured that the people, systems, processes, and resources are present and will perform when needed.
