Water Utility Maintenance – Checking, Maintaining, and Replacing

We can break asset tracking into three main points of interest: checking, maintaining, and replacing assets. Many of our clients use ShareNet and its abilities to accomplish those tasks.

  1. Checking Assets – First, ShareNet provides a glimpse into assets before you physically arrive at their location. You can go within the software and look on the map for your desired work location. Then, once you locate it, you can click it and view that asset’s specific information. Furthermore, you can decide whether to replace the asset or schedule it for maintenance. It’s helpful to field workers and provides them with insight into the assets before heading out on the job.
  2. Maintaining Assets – Second, A preventative maintenance process is critical for keeping assets running like new. As a result, this can save you untold amounts of capital and funding. In short, imagine having to replace water treatment and distribution equipment due to lack of maintenance. Regular, preventative maintenance reduces the likelihood of unplanned outages for your residents. You can log, track, and set your preventive maintenance schedule for your water utilities in a few easy steps.
  3. Replacing Assets – Lastly, in some instances, you need to replace your assets. Whether it’s due to operator error or the age of the asset, we still have the solution for you.  You can quickly review maintenance history to help you make a replace versus repair decision.  Once the decision is made to replace an asset, simply create a related Work Order to schedule the replacement. Our Water Utility Maintenance software offers you flexibility and can notify you whether your assets need to be checked, maintained, and replaced.
