Asset Management is a challenge that is facing all water and wastewater utilities today. How does a utility implement cost-effective asset management practices? Where does a utility even start? The task can seem daunting. The purpose of the training course is to present information on best practices punctuated by utility case study experiences to inform participants about how to design and implement their own practical, site-specific approaches to asset management. The training is applicable to utilities of all sizes and budgets and will be a “hands-on” experience where participants will review specific information on how assets are inventoried and assessed, risks evaluated, projects prioritized, and other key topics. Hands-on exercises, open discussions, and Q&A sessions occur throughout the two day training hosted by a faculty made up of utility representatives and consultants from across the United States.
