Topic: Asset Management & Rate Impacts

Course Description

Asset management is a critical component to every water and wastewater utility, regardless of size or system type, and can help a utility maximize the value of its capital and O&M funds.  The objectives of this lecture include (1) understanding what asset management means and the benefits of implementation and (2) identifying best practices and how to implement asset management.  Topics covered in the lecture will include development of an asset inventory, establishment of condition assessment methodology, data collection, and development of the asset management plan.  

Following the discussion on asset management, there will be a discussion of establishing water and sewer rates. This portion of the lecture will include topics related to establishing user charges for water and/or wastewater customers, incorporating the funding of the CIP, and will enable participants to be better prepared to undertake a rate study.
