The ongoing evaluation of current members' systems to create plans for long-term maintenance. Ongoing evaluation is achieved through the following methods: regulatory requirements, regulatory inspections and corrective actions, operator and maintenance reports. Mwa board members and management attend stakeholder groups as well as review publications and webcasts that may guide future expansions or repairs.

At least annually, the board of directors will discuss upcoming projects as well as potential future regulatory impacts to the members. Usually this discussion centers around the budgetary meeting, however, it is not limited to that meeting. Long term planning also incorporates funding discussion along with new project development with regards to the income from members served.

Members are vetted through word of mouth, regulatory compliance issues, financial hardships or various other reasons. Current exploration of new members is through direct mailing and targeted facilities with known issues.
