City of San Marcos Water Reuse System Asset Management Plan 7 Asset Management Implementation This initial San Marcos Water Reuse System Asset Management Plan (AMP) provides the baseline to implement an advanced asset management program for San Marcos Water reuse System. The existing comprehensive asset inventory provided the initial step to track and manage individual reuse facility and pipeline assets, each with a unique identification number. The attribute data in the existing asset inventories or asset registers were expanded to provide key information to manage each asset over its entire life cycle. Key asset management data including age, useful life, remaining useful life, and replacement costs were recorded for each asset. The initial asset condition assessment relied heavily on San Marcos staff knowledge and experience. LOF, COF, and ROF scores are also largely based on top down or desk top data. A reliance on input from the people who really know the system provided a level of assurance that these initial results can be used to target the higher priority assets for routine monitoring, maintenance inspections and repairs. The work completed for this AMP is an initial step in a process to develop a water reuse system asset management initiative to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of each reuse system asset over its life cycle. Asset management is typically developed over time in a process of continuous improvement. Based on the EPA's 10 steps to implement an asset management process, the initial asset management work accomplished is summarized in Table 7.1 along with a summary of the next steps for asset implementation. Policies and business practices associated with document and information management, asset management information systems, operations and maintenance integration, and strategic decision making will need to be developed to support continued implementation and improvement of the overall asset management process. 7.1 Asset Information Management The San Marcos Maximo CMMS is the primary information management system used for the water reuse facility and pipeline assets. The asset inventory in Maximo should be updated to include all reuse system assets with the designated reuse pipeline segments integrated for better management. The additional key attribute data should be added to the Maximo database where applicable. The condition and risk data developed for each asset could be included in the February 2016 Page 37
