CODE OF ETHICS
CODE OF ETHICS
As one engaged in providing a public water supply and treatment of sewage for the people whom I serve, and as a member of the Texas Water Utilities Association, I hold to these principles:
1. To the best of my ability I shall conduct all operations under my control in such a manner that will, as far as the means made available permit, provide adequate services, preserve the public health and furnish protection to property.
2. In every legitimate manner I shall encourage the construction of water and sewage works structures, the use of materials, management practices and operating procedures that are economically sound and in the public interest.
3. I shall not accept any remuneration or benefit from any interested party other than my employer or my client. Neither shall I accept any collateral employment, which might in any degree adversely affect the performance of my duties or obligations to my regular employer or client.
4. I believe that honorable competition for advancement and for opportunity to render more responsible service is an essential part of democratic civilization upon which rests real improvements and progress. I shall not permit my own ambition for advancement to cause me to act unfairly toward others associated with me.
5. I shall by all legitimate and reasonable means strive to improve the public appreciation of the services rendered by myself and by any associates to the end that employment in public water and sewage works operations is recognized by all as a profession having great responsibility for the health and welfare of all people.
6. Always bear in mind my obligation as a citizen to my nation, my state and my community, and to give to them my undivided loyalty in word, act, and deed.
In accepting this code of ethics I do fully understand my obligations to my community and having accepted responsibilities upon which depend public health and safety; I shall not fail.
