With increasing regulations, decreasing revenues, and aging infrastructure, an asset management approach is vital. You may have problems related to unknown locations of meters, valves or hydrants. You may not be sure of the best asset to replace given your limited funds. Asset Management can help you solve these problems and more.

You will learn how to:
– Develop an inventory of utility components
– Identify critical assets to sustained operations
– Make decisions about how to operate, maintain, repair, and replace those assets
– Set goals for level of service at a sustainable cost
