Developing an Efficient and Practical Asset Management Model for Small Utilities
This presentation will provide an overview of a newly launched project aimed at creating a practical and efficient Asset Management Plan (AMP) for small utilities in Indiana.
Sponsored by the Indiana Finance Authority (IFA), this initiative is led by BAMI-I in collaboration with the Alliance of Indiana Rural Water (AIRW), focusing on helping small communities like Switz City meet state regulations and manage their water and wastewater infrastructure effectively.
We will walk through
The presentation will also outline the next steps for implementing the project, detailing its future goals and long-term potential to create a replicable asset management model for utilities across the USA.
