Best Practices for Best Practices for Managing AssetsManaging Assets Utilities are an asset to be managed
Predict and plan for use of water, power, steam, wastewater, alternative fuels and stormwater management
Develop Proactive Management Strategies Minimize environmental risk = enhanced
value of assets Develop Predictive/Preventive
Maintenance Procedures Minimize operation costs by reducing
unplanned occurrences thereby increasing productivity
Develop Asset Tracking System to document and manage cost
Integrate Procurement Procedures into Predictive Maintenance and Management Strategies
