Asset Management

The goal of asset management is to provide a framework and tools to make informed decisions on infrastructure spending choices in an environment where accountability is demanded and varied interests are competing for a share of scarce resources. Asset management practices consider corporate objectives and customer levels of service to establish service-to-asset hierarchies and spending priorities, reduce risk, improve system reliability, and sustain valuable community services.
