Description: In this course, participants will learn approaches to planning for utility equipment replacement and rehabilitation. Failed equipment often leads to non-compliance and emergency failures can lead to high costs, while prudent planning can bring about better reliability and lower long-term costs for utility operations.  This course will use a utility asset management approach as background for planning for equipment replacement. Participants do not need to have prior knowledge of utility asset management to participate.
