6 BENEFITS OF ASSET MANAGEMENT Examples of outcomes that can be realized by utilities through asset management: Prolonging asset life and improving decisions about asset rehabilitation, repair, and replacement Meeting consumer demands with a focus on system sustainability Setting rates based on sound operational and financial planning Budgeting focused on critical activities for sustained performance Meeting service expectations and regulatory requirements Improving responses to emergencies Improving the security and safety of assets Reducing overall costs for both operations and capital expenditures Reduced Loan Interest Rates saving customers money. All evaluation / report efforts are paid for by the Drinking Water and Clean Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF & CWSRF) Programs

7 CHALLENGES FACED BY UTILITY MANAGERS Determining the best (or optimal) time to rehabilitate/repair/replace aging assets. Increasing demand for services Overcoming resistance to rate increases Diminishing resources Rising service expectations of customers Increasingly stringent regulatory requirements Responding to emergencies because of asset failures Protecting assets

8 Key Role for Local Officials: Building Community Support Successful implementation of an asset management program means overcoming potential barriers by including the community in the process. Local officials are key players in obtaining community support towards a successful asset management program. Barriers to implementing an asset management program may include: Expecting to see immediate results Changing from a focus on operations to a focus on assets Paying for short-term costs to achieve long-term savings Reconciling a short-term focus (ie., rate adjustments) with longterm view of system sustainability

9 Community Support In order for your system to gain community support, your customers should: Understand what you do Believe that your work has value See that the way you work meets level of service expectations Asset management helps you: Share information with your customers Describe the risks of not maintaining system components Communicate your system s condition and needs Justify rehabilitation, repair, and replacement project priorities Justify your long-term financial plan to the public

23 Have AMFS action items been addressed? Have known deficiencies been addressed? If yes, note these as completed. If no, consider setting interim timeframes for critical elements and accomplishing high priority actions. Are any AMFS elements prepared as a stand-alone document? If yes, has any information changed that needs updating? Update: Annual Review and Update AM Team LOS Goals Asset Conditions and other statuses Critical Assets Priority Capital Improvement Plan Financial Projections.

24 Asset Management and Fiscal Sustainability An Asset Management Plan is intended to be a living, breathing document. As such, it must be: Developed with clear Level of Service goals in mind Specific Measurable Attainable Reachable Trackable (SMART) Implemented to reach those goals Maintained regularly using software such as Diamond Maps or CUPSS Updated annually at a minimum to reflect current status and goals Set new, higher goals next priority project, rate sufficiency, (SMART) Asset Management is a TEAM EFFORT In order to slay the dragon it is imperative to have buy-in from management as well as operations, maintenance, finance, engineering and all support roles.
