Location: Shelbyville Municipal Water Offices; 1059 Washington St, Shelbyville, KY 40065

Description: Do you know where all of your assets are? Does your utility have accurate system maps? Do you have a systematic plan for keeping your maps current? Do you use your maps for data analysis, capital improvement planning and water loss control? Do you know what event and asset data you should be collecting? If you answered “no” to any of these questions, this workshop is for you. We will examine different electronic mapping platforms and data collection options, and review case studies to show the positive impact that a mapping program can have on your utility.

Learning Objectives:

• Techniques, tools, and examples for developing and building electronic maps that will tell you much more than simply where things are
• Collecting and analyzing asset and event data –such as pipe break data– to generate probability of failure which is the first part of criticality, and how to add consequences to the analysis
• Tracking your O&M activities using mapping platforms
• How mapping can be leveraged to develop simple Capital Improvement Plans
• Developing an asset valuation for your system using mapping techniques
• Using maps and data collection as part of your water loss control activities
