For all utilities, even very small water systems, tangible assets (tanks, pumps, and computers) and non-tangible assets (water rights, software) are significant investments with significant importance. An Asset Management Plan (AMP) prioritizes the replacement or installation of assets and plays a significant role in the overall financial performance and sustainability of the water system. With proper planning, emergencies can be avoided, and overall costs can be reduced.

Asset management planning includes inventory, evaluation, forecasting and budgeting for capital outlay and is an integral part of the utilities budgeting and rate-setting process for even very small water systems.

Participants will learn:

• What is an AMP and how it coordinates with other planning documents 

• Why a water system needs an AMP

• The Five Core Questions 

• The basics of Google Earth Pro for asset mapping

• How to complete an asset inventory

• Resources available
