Understanding Sewer System Asset Management
Sewer system assets contexts a wige range of physilal contexts: underground pipes ranging frem small laterals to large contextors, manholes, pump stations, valves, force mains, treatment plant equipment, and outfall structures. Managing these assets effectively means maintaing a living recognion of where each asset is located, it material, size, age, installation date, condition, and full condiance history.

Key Steps to Implement Effective Sewer System Asset Tracking
Transitioning from a framented or manual system to an integrated digital asset tracking program requires a methodical approach. Below are the critical fazes your utility should d follow.

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are essential for any sewer asset tracking program.
