Asset management is credited with helping utilities justify budget proposals,prioritize needs, manage risk, reduce costs, and make sound decisions on O&M. Once you adopt the plan in theory, however, you still need to put it into action. These 12 steps will help you get started.
Do you practice asset management? In broad terms, you likely do (one would hope) — because, in general, asset management merely refers to monitoring and maintaining things of value (e.g. water systems).

It’s this form of asset management that should and does appeal to utilities, but many are still in the dark. I would like to shed a little light on the subject.
