An asset is a resource with economic value and the expectation that it will provide a future benefit.
Facilities• Storage tank
• Well pump stations
• Water treatment plant
What is Asset Management?

Asset Management is a systematic process of operating, maintaining, upgrading and disposing of assets cost-effectively while maintaining a level of service that is acceptable to the customers.“

• District uses online tools like Google drive for record information storage and data collection
• Asset Inventory and condition assessment information on vertical assets included in ELVD CUPSS for asset inventory
• Distribution system assets and attributes included in GIS database
Asset Inventory & Condition Assessment

Level of Service
A Level of Service Agreement (LOS) defines
how the utility owners, managers, operators
and customers want the system to perform
over the long term.

The District chose to create a LOS that covers both vertical and distribution system assets
“Report Card” for the system

Goal Target LevelFrequency of
Measurement
All federal and state water quality regulations will be
met<MCL Annually
Unaccounted-for-Water less than 15% <15% Annually
The system will maintain a minimum pressure of 35
psi and a minimum operating pressure of 20 psi
under all flows
>35 psi Monthly
All customer complaints will be investigated within 1
business days of reporting the complaint.1 day Monthly
Breaks will be repaired within 24 hours of being
reported 95% of the time.> 95% Monthly
Contact the Board of Commissioners at least 48 hours
prior to water main shutdown in planned situations
and ASAP in emergency situations.
< 48 hrs Monthly
No adverse event will cause the customers to be
without water.0 events Monthly
• Interconnection options with Hillsborough
and Henniker (6 options considered)
• Each includes a booster pump station and
meter building
• Water main extension lengths vary from
~10,000 ft to 15,000 ft
• 3 options include crossing Rt 202A
• Conceptual project costs vary from $3.9M
to $4.8M
Analysis – Interconnections

• Supplement current
supply
• Installation of pressure
transducer and
increased monitoring at
existing wells
• Bedrock and sand and
gravel deposits
• Multiple sand and
gravel sites identified for
further investigation
Analysis – Source Water

• Water main
replacements
o Breaks, age
• Storage tank
o Cleaning and inspections
• New zone meters
o Hemlock
o Turtle crossing bridge
• Customer meters
Analysis – Water Main & Storage

• Temporary waiver from
service meter
installation
• Zone metering
o 5 meters
o 2 proposed
o ~90% of system covered after installation of add’l meters
• Service meters

SUBTOTAL $1,155,000
If new source water development is successful,
interconnection may not be necessary or can be delayed.
Project costs should be transitioned to water main
replacement or service meter installation.

Next Steps: Asset Management Maintenance Plan
19
Revise asset information as
inspections, rehabilitation and repair
projects are completed.
Continue collection of missing assets
and asset characteristics.
Add asset information assessment
information to GIS and CUPSS.

Revise CIP and FIP annually as
part of the budget development
process.
Provide training to staff members
who will be maintaining data sets
and coordinating with GIS and
CUPSS. (Use RCAP)
