BWS STATUS QUO
at the beginning of new millennium
Aging & Deterioration of infrastructure assets
Unadjusted strategic & tactical planning
Required huge budget for Capital Maintenance
Low price for service (potable w & ww collection)
Lack of coordination between numerous departments
Urgent needs for:
SHORT TERM PLAN
LONG TERM PLAN
remedial measures
WLC approach
WATER UTILITIES capital intensive companies
Managing the infrastructure is the core business
What do you have and where is it?
What is it worth?
What is its condition and expected remaining service life?
What is the level of service expectation, what has to be done?
When do you need to do it?
How much will it cost and what is the acceptable level of risk?
How do you ensure long-term affordability?
HOW TO DEAL WITH CAPITAL OF SUCH SCALE ?
Only systematic approach could yield results!
Asset Management
The way how to keep your system in good health
Management, engineering, financial,
economic, and other practices applied to
physical assets
Providing the required level of service at
acceptable level of risk and in the most
cost-effective manner
AM the art and science of making the right decisions
Asset Management
Step by step approach
State of the assets, inventory of assets
Condition assessment, life cycle
Assets valuation
Level of service target
Risk assessment and analysis
Determine best technical / financial options

- Management IS
(E-business, data management,
. )
ACHIEVED
Top management commitment
IT Infrastructure implemented

BENEFITS
Improved knowledge of own system
Data integration (network, O&M, commercial, etc.)
Better internal coordination within the company
Established sound technical tool for decision making
support
Improved effectives / efficiency
Level of service
Roadmap towards sustainability
Specific starting results:
SPECIFIC STARTING RESULTS
Asset registers available to all stakeholers (under
permission)
Recognized additional 1000 km of distribution network
(mostly illegal)!!!
Recognized 89 PMA (pressure managed area) as a
supplement of traditional 5 altitudinal zones
Decreased pressure level (1 bar) in part of system with
high buildings (7% of network)
Recognized 33 DMA (distict metered areas) enabling
water balance brakedown
Decreased energy consumption (up to 10%) with pumps
frequency control supplement
Established GIS based failure database (last 3 years)

PERFORMANCE INDICATORS (PI)
PI group 'Commercial losses (example)
Operating (activity based) indicators:
number of water meters older than 10 years,
number of water meters with PAADC greater than 5 m3/day,
number of oversized water meters larger than DN 50,
number of water meters without consumption that are not
categorized as hydrants or seasonal consumers.
Required actions:
Changing watermeters,
Installing C class watermeters,
Installing smaller watermeters,
Checking consumer (watermeter stucked or broken?)
NEXT BWS STEPS
Enhancing business processes on missing data collection
and raising data quality (asset hierarchy, rehabilitation and
replacement values, condition assessment rating, etc.)
Business risk exposure and risk assessment for the both
potable water and sewerage systems to be continued (part
of AM plan)
Implementation of 'look forward' concept instead of look
backwards, prediction models, priorities, technical solutions,
long term planning and future scenarios
Financial sustainability, cash flow models for future
scenarios, tariff settings, external funding and budgeting
Long term Asset Management plan
Continuous work on capacity building in BWS on further
integration of AM practices within the company
WB-IAWD Program
Cooperation on implementation of AM
