As various parts of a community's water utility infrastructure (which includes above ground as well as underground structures) wear out and fail, utility managers must choose repair, rehabilitation, replacement, or abandonment. Good management of infrastructure requires answering these five questions: What and where will infrastructure break down; how and when will the breakdowns be addressed; and who will pay? This highly researched volume provides accumulated data, knowledge, and wisdom to help utility managers in answering those questions. It gives managers guidance in all aspects of water utility infrastructure management - technologies for assessing component reliability and pinpointing critical areas; assessment of replacement, rehabilitation, and repair methodologies; planning ongoing prioritization of infrastructure upgrades; maintaining customer service; and funding mechanisms.
