Webinar - Asset Management/Maintenance
Tuesday, August 10, 2021 - 12:00 PM
Learn about O&M Collaboration Strategies for Better Sevice and Lower Costs
Louisville and Jefferson County Metropolitan Sewer District (MSD) is implementing an asset management program to establish a framework for improving decisions about how and when to acquire, maintain, operate, renew, and dispose of assets. Asset management seeks to bring organizational alignment at all levels and use collaboration across all areas to optimize the life of assets. MSD is increasing the collaboration between engineering and O&M to ensure an O&M friendly design and provide key information to the capital process to reduce costs and provide better service to ratepayers.
