Water asset management is the process of understanding what assets make up your water, sewer, or stormwater infrastructure and then proactively planning and prioritizing repairs, maintenance, renewals and replacements based on risk.
Improve operational, maintenance, and capital effectiveness using digital tools to monitor and prioritize replacements and repairs of various assets within a water system, increasing sustainability and community resilience by reducing downtime and prolonging the lifespan of water assets.
Water asset management software provides tools to help improve the efficiency and accuracy of complex processes such as inspection management, condition assessment, risk and rehabilitation planning, and data tracking.
Access CCTV inspection data in a cloud environment to review inspections and evaluate asset condition.
Assess business risk exposure of water assets using the most accurate data points such as condition data.
Prioritize capital decisions for effective and cost-effective rehabilitation management.

Water distribution assets are individual components that are built to pump, divert, transport, store, treat and deliver safe drinking water through utilities services. Some examples are:
A few best practices can help guide asset managers to effectively operate and maintain wastewater systems and address problematic assets:
To store, manage, and easily locate inspections, associating them to the relevant asset which can be seen on a map of the system or can be found by querying the asset location. By keeping all inspections, historical and current ones, the asset management system provides you with the entire history of inspection and condition for an asset.
Linear asset management is the process of life cycle management of assets typically defined by their length, such as roads, rails, pipelines, power lines, etc. Linear asset management software helps you monitor asset conditions, identify damage or defects, manage asset maintenance, and optimize asset performance, availability, and safety.
Risk and rehabilitation planning for water asset management is the process of prioritizing the risks associated with water infrastructure assets and informing asset decisions. Risk management helps to prioritize which individual asset needs addressing first and to understand the overall business risk exposure for the system. Rehabilitation planning helps planners decide the best actions to repair, renew, replace or keep monitoring water assets based on asset and inspection data, their condition, previous asset interventions, and action cost to determine the most effective approach.
The two elements of risk assessment for water asset management are likelihood of failure (LoF) and consequence of failure (CoF). Depending on an asset's condition, age, performance, and other factors, LoF determines how probable it is for it to fail. CoF is a gauge of how seriously an asset failure might have an impact on the economy, society, and environment. Risk can help to prioritize decisions regarding asset renewal or replacement by applying weighing factors for each Lof and CoF components as well as combining LoF and CoF.
GIS data is used for water asset management to visualize and spatially analyze important information about water utility infrastructure by integrating with digital and specialized tools like capital planning software. GIS data can be used for: identifying leaks and inefficiencies, optimizing water infrastructure distribution networks, predicting repairs or other operational issues, and planning for future infrastructure expansion and maintenance.
