What are Assets?

3

An asset is a resource with economic value and the expectation that it will provide a future benefit.

Facilities• Storage tank

• Well pump stations

• Water treatment plant

What is Asset Management?

4

Asset Management is a systematic process of operating, maintaining, upgrading and disposing of assets cost-effectively while maintaining a level of service that is acceptable to the customers.“

• District uses online tools like Google drive for record information storage and data collection

• Asset Inventory and condition assessment information on vertical assets included in ELVD CUPSS for asset inventory

• Distribution system assets and attributes included in GIS database

Asset Inventory & Condition Assessment

Level of Service

A Level of Service Agreement (LOS) defines

how the utility owners, managers, operators

and customers want the system to perform

over the long term.

8

The District chose to create a LOS that covers both vertical and distribution system assets

“Report Card” for the system

Level of Service

Goal Target LevelFrequency of

Measurement

All federal and state water quality regulations will be

met<MCL Annually

Unaccounted-for-Water less than 15% <15% Annually

The system will maintain a minimum pressure of 35

psi and a minimum operating pressure of 20 psi

under all flows

>35 psi Monthly

All customer complaints will be investigated within 1

business days of reporting the complaint.1 day Monthly

Breaks will be repaired within 24 hours of being

reported 95% of the time.> 95% Monthly

Contact the Board of Commissioners at least 48 hours

prior to water main shutdown in planned situations

and ASAP in emergency situations.

< 48 hrs Monthly

No adverse event will cause the customers to be

without water.0 events Monthly

• Interconnection options with Hillsborough

and Henniker (6 options considered)

• Each includes a booster pump station and

meter building

• Water main extension lengths vary from

~10,000 ft to 15,000 ft

• 3 options include crossing Rt 202A

• Conceptual project costs vary from $3.9M

to $4.8M

Analysis – Interconnections

• Supplement current

supply

• Installation of pressure

transducer and

increased monitoring at

existing wells

• Bedrock and sand and

gravel deposits

• Multiple sand and

gravel sites identified for

further investigation

Analysis – Source Water

• Water main

replacements

o Breaks, age

• Storage tank

o Cleaning and inspections

• New zone meters

o Hemlock

o Turtle crossing bridge

• Customer meters

Analysis – Water Main & Storage

• Temporary waiver from

service meter

installation

• Zone metering

o 5 meters

o 2 proposed

o ~90% of system covered after installation of add’l meters

• Service meters

Patten Hill Tank Recommendations NHDES Recommendation - $12,000

Patten Hill Control Building Recommendations NHDES Recommendation - $45,000

Meeting House WTP Recommendations NHDES Recommendation - $88,000

New gravel-packed well Inadequate Water Source Production/Water Quality - $280,000

Water Storage Tank Inspection Maintenance - $5,000

Zone Meters WCP Compliance - $20,000

SUBTOTAL $1,155,000

If new source water development is successful,

interconnection may not be necessary or can be delayed.

Project costs should be transitioned to water main

replacement or service meter installation.

Next Steps: Asset Management Maintenance Plan

19

Revise asset information as

inspections, rehabilitation and repair

projects are completed.

Continue collection of missing assets

and asset characteristics.

Add asset information assessment

information to GIS and CUPSS.

3

Revise CIP and FIP annually as

part of the budget development

process.

Provide training to staff members

who will be maintaining data sets

and coordinating with GIS and

CUPSS. (Use RCAP)
