Developing an Efficient and Practical Asset Management Model for Small Utilities
Register NOW
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

how the project originated
the process of securing sponsorship from the IFA
collaborative efforts involved in its development.

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.

Webinar Abstract

Asset management is a system utilities can use to anticipate when key assets must be replaced. It helps utilities serve their customers better and remain in compliance with regulations. Asset management, however, is only useful if utilities use the results to make proactive asset replacements. Replacing assets is a long and expensive process. Utility governing boards need to give their consent for capital projects, but these governing boards often don’t understand the importance of individual assets nor the terminology of asset management. This webinar will describe how utility staff can “translate” the results of asset management into language that governing boards will understand and act upon.

TESTIMONIAL

6 Years of Experience vs. 3 Days of Training
We often think that time in the field is the only teacher. But sometimes, the right training can condense years of learning into a single week. Meet D'Angelo. He has been in the industry for six years. He knows the job. Yet, after attending the ASCE UESI/BAMI-I Utility Investigation School (UIS), his feedback was clear: "I learned more in these 3 days than I probably did in the last 2 years." This is the power of the UIS curriculum. We don't just cover the basics; we dive deep into ASCE 38-22 standards, advanced geophysics, and risk management strategies that even experienced professionals might miss in their day-to-day work.
