However, there are two aspects of stormwater management that are hardly mentioned. Integration, often multidisciplinary collaboration in relation to regulatory and non-regulatory processes, is required to reverse the traditional approach to stormwater management. Stormwater management is also not a transactional service as is the case with wastewater and water supply management. And there is always an option to contract out the pipe-asset-maintenance of stormwater management to the new 3-water entities. Achieving improvements in stormwater management is a journey rather than simply flicking a switch.
