Level of Service Issues in Water Utilities Asset Management

water utilities usa

A participant asked about the level of service issues as they manage their water utility assets. Please read below what Heather and Ross explained. Heather: Well, my take on that is there are a few that are more set by regulatory nature that you, know you want to make sure that you’re meeting all of the Safe Water Drinking Act requirements, all of the state's requirements and then typical … [Read more...]

Doing Small Successful Steps in Water Utility Asset Management

water utility asset management

Ross: And Heather, I met the gentleman at Albuquerque who wrote that and the thing that impressed me was he was a private individual. He was just helping out. He’s I think a voluntary custodian for his community of the water system. And if he wasn’t 75, he was that sort that age if not a bit older and I was just really impressed with him. Here he was applying his life … [Read more...]

Asset Management Plans for Small Water Systems

asset management inframanage

Ross: And Heather look one of the things we’ve found here that are very easy when you’re a small system to look at a 200 or 300-page asset management plan that’s being produced by LA or New York or a major system. And that’s just ridiculous. We can’t do that and the sure answer is you don’t need to do that. I’m just thinking about that asset plan that you sent me a copy of from a really … [Read more...]

How to Convince a Small System to Have an Asset Management Plan?

Do you have any advice on how to convince a small system that they need to have an asset management plan? Heather: My advice is, that it’s very important to work with them on whatever their biggest problem is and show them how asset management can help them solve that issue as a way to get them bought in. For example, if their biggest problem is many many pipe breaks, then think about … [Read more...]

Asset Management is Cost-Effective and Sustainable Solution for Infrastructure Crises

asset management inframanage

Ross: And I think too Heather, just clicked back to that slide from Toledo, Ohio because they've had the "Do not drink (notice)" for the entire population due to that. They’re getting through the treatment plant. And yes that’s a different cause of the problem from a break or the Boston one but the issue is when you got "do not drink" notice out for an entire city, there’s massive … [Read more...]

Criticality and Overall Cost in Water Utilities Asset Management

infrastructure asset management

Heather: And the other thing to think about is, different breaks have different criticality to a water utility. So a small break on a side street that it’s just tricking down the road, impacting a couple of customers is not the same as a major water main break that impacts the whole town causes major traffic disruptions, hurts the road, floods out a street, causes a sinkhole. I mean there … [Read more...]

Holistic Impact of Infrastructure Management Actions to the Utility Community

water utility asset management

Why should the utility worry about the cost of pipe breaks that don’t affect the utility? For example, blocking traffic. Dawn: This came whenever we have the earlier discussion about the cost were associated with the water line breaks in LA, and so you know you’re talking about the various costs that were associated with that water line break. And so the question is, "Why should the water … [Read more...]
