Asset Management A planning process for maintaining and
replacing your water system’s infrastructure in the most efficient manner
1. Realize that your Public Water System is an asset that depreciates over time
2. Taking care of facilities and equipment is necessary to maintain this asset Developing an Asset Management Plan will
assist in meeting this goal
(EPA Manual)
