Asset Management for Water Utilities

Asset management is a proactive management plan for maintaining quality service for customers at the lowest overall cost. It involves addressing aging water infrastructure assets before they fail and planning for a proactive versus reactive operating strategy for the water utility. Asset management requires support and involvement from water utility staff, operators and local officials who have the authority and willingness to commit public resources and personnel to maintain community water treatment assets. The EFC provides professional development on asset management for water utility profesionals and local government officials, such as city council and board members.
