The committee also monitors existing WQA industry reports, including the Tank and Valve Report, RO Market Trends Report, Cross Correlation Report, and Business Operations Report, and provides recommendations for responding to key findings based on the data. This work will continue indefinitely to continuously improving these types of member benefits.
