The City of Asheville, North Carolina Water Resources Department serves approximately
48,000 residential, commercial, industrial and wholesale accounts in the City of Asheville and
the counties of Buncombe and Henderson in western North Carolina. The water system dates
from the early 1900s and includes approximately 1,200 miles of pipe and three water treatment
plants. In response to aging infrastructure concerns, the Department undertook the development
of a comprehensive Asset Management Program beginning in mid 2003. This multifaceted
program, currently being implemented, includes elements for enhanced preventative maintenance,
development of asset plans, development of an integrated asset database, asset condition
monitoring programs and development of a refurbishment and replacement (R&R) funding plan.
The initial efforts have resulted in adoption of an asset management culture in almost all
aspects of the operation. Includes figures.
