Description: With aging infrastructure, limited revenues, and regulatory obligations to meet, a comprehensive approach to managing your wastewater system is vital. What information will be useful to you? How should you track your system assets? How does your aging infrastructure impact your service and expenses? How do you track and optimize maintenance? Which asset(s) should you replace given limited funds and how should you prioritize replacement? How do you know how much money you might need? Asset management provides a framework to help you solve these problems, and more. This training begins by covering Asset Management's core components and the overall Asset Management thought-process, before focusing more specifically on the practical application of asset management concepts for data informed decision making using real-world examples.
