Transcript Asset Management - vdoe

Overview
• Asset Management (AM) is a systematic
process of operating, maintaining,
upgrading and disposing of assets costeffectively while maintaining a level of
service that is acceptable to the
customers.
• Asset management is the practice of managing
infrastructure assets to minimize the total cost of
owning and operating them, while delivering the
service level customers desire. Asset
management is a framework to pursue and
achieve sustainable infrastructure. Asset
management can open communications and
help move systems from crisis management to
informed decision making, facilitate more
efficient and focused system operations and
improve financial management to make the best
use of systems’ limited resources.
Benefits of Asset Management
•

•
Better operational decisions
Improved emergency response
Greater ability to plan and pay for future repairs
Increased knowledge of the location of the assets
Increased knowledge of what assets are critical
More efficient operation
Better communication with customers
Rates based on sound operational information
Capital improvement projects that meet the true needs of
the system

Develop a Long Term Funding Strategy
Grant Program
• The New Hampshire Department of
Environmental Services (DES) is pleased to
announce the Public Water System Asset
Management Planning Grant program. This
grant is intended to assist community water
systems in developing an asset management
plan. The program will provide a 50% matching
grant up to $15,000 for water systems to
conduct asset management initiatives for
drinking water infrastructure.
Projects funded by the Grant Program
must include the following
• Asset inventory - with condition
assessment and risk analysis
• Financial review - rate analysis and/or
cost of service study
• Implementation plan and -community
outreach strategy

NHDES Grant Proposal Created & Awarded
Funding Option
Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF). The
DWSRF makes funds available to drinking water systems
to finance infrastructure improvements. Systems
performing asset management will be well positioned to
understand their short- and long-term capital needs, and
the DWSRF is available to help fund these systems’
efficient and cost-effective projects. As a result of the
asset management process, systems will have strong
Technical, Management & Financial capacity and thereby
will be better able to effectively manage DWSRF funds.
CWSRF Currently allows for Principal Forgiveness
Conclusion
• The NHDES grant supports the VDOE
Asset Management Program
• Asset Management will provide the VDOE
with cost effective planning for our future
• Cultural change to a proactive approach
• Team building – commissioners, water
operator, engineers, and residents work
together
