Description:
This three-volume report describes the development and implementation of a management analysis and report system (MARS) in the Tampa, Florida, Water and Sanitary Sewer Departments. Original system development was based on research conducted in a smaller water utility in Kenton County, Kentucky. MARS will help both the Water and Sanitary Sewer Departments control costs and manage expanding service requirements more effectively and efficiently. Volume I documents the results of 2 years of activities in adopting the MARS to a large water utility and to a wastewater utility; Volume II contains operating instructions for the MARS programs; and Volume III, primarily a system analyst's/programmer's guide, contains the source code for all computer programs in Tampa's MARS.
