This paper focuses on how the West Valley Sanitation District (WVSD or District) improved
collection system operations though technology and business processes. This effort included the
evaluation of work flow, determination of operational improvements, development of a
performance-based budget, and implementation of multiple best business practices/strategies.
These practices ranged from streamlining work practices to utilizing advanced technology such
as a complete Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) with Geographical
Information System (GIS) connectivity and Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) data linked to a
new maintenance system to develop routine schedules, track work, and improve operations. This
transformation led to improvements in the efficiency and effectiveness of operations with
increased quality as a direct result of the effective application of routine cleaning, improved
work reporting and practices, application of good business tools and integration of automation of
work processes.
This paper begins with a background of the WVSD, outlines the District's previous maintenance
system and work processes, discusses the new system and improved work processes and a
summary of the results achieved as well as discusses future expectations of further improvement
though systems integration.
Includes tables, figures.
