The water industry over the years has primarily focussed on upgrading and investing in clean water provision. However, as research into the science and management of clean water services has progressed rapidly, wastewater provision and services has been slower. Focus, though, is now shifting within Industry and Research into wastewater services. The water regulator, Ofwat, for England and Wales demands the Sewerage Undertakers demonstrate efficient management of wastewater systems in order to obtain funding for Capital Investment projects. South West Water, a Water Service Provider and Sewerage Undertaker located in the South West of England, identified a need gap in their asset management strategies for wastewater catchments. This paper will introduce the production of a Decision Support Tool, DST, to help SWW proactively manage their Wastewater Catchments, examining Sewage Treatment Works, Pumping Stations and Networks. The paper will discuss some concepts within the DST, its production, testing and a brief case study. The DST provides a framework for prioritising catchments to optimise investment choices and actions. The Tool ranks catchments utilising Compromise Programming, CP, as well as AHP Pair-wise comparisons for preference weights. The DST incorporates Asset models, a Whole life Costing Module, as well as a Decay and Intervention Module.

Abstract—Water is an important element that becomes the need of every human being, in the service provider company Clean water control of water usage is still a problem because there is no system that provides information on the use of water on the customer side, especially in the BLUD UPT SPAM Musi Rawas. Customers also find it difficult to see the amount of bills in realtime so that if the billing information has been presented then the customer can adjust the use of the water. This system will use a Waterflow Sensor to read the water flow which will then be converted to Digital data in the form of computer bits that will be processed by Arduino and then sent to the Server to be seen by the Clean Water Service Provider in this case the BLUD UPT SPAM Musi Rawas and customers. Intisari—Air merupakan unsur penting yang menjadi kebutuhan setiap manusia, pada perusahaan penyedia layanan Air bersih kontrol penggunaan air masih menjadi masalah karena belum ada sistem yang menyediakan informasi penggunaan Air pada sisi Pelanggan khususnya di BLUD UPT SPAM Kabupaten Musi Rawas. Pelanggan juga kesulitan untuk melihat jumlah tagihan secara realtime sehingga jika informasi tagihan tersebut sudah tersaji maka pelanggan dapat mengatur penggunaan Airnya. Sistem ini akan menggunakan Waterflow Sensor untuk membaca aliran air yang kemudian akan di konversikan ke data Digital  berupa bit komputer yang akan di proses oleh Arduino kemudian di kirimkan ke Server untuk dapat di lihat oleh Penyedia Jasa Air bersih dalam Hal ini BLUD UPT SPAM Kabupaten Musi Rawas dan Pelanggan.

Infrastructure Asset Management

Abstract Water utilities collect, store and manage vast data sets using many information systems (IS). For infrastructure asset management (IAM) planning those data need to be processed and transformed into information. However, information management efficiency often falls short of desired results. This happens particularly in municipalities where management is structured according to local government models. Along with the existing IS at the utilities' disposal, engineers and managers take their decisions based on information that is often incomplete, inaccurate or out-of-date. One of the main challenges faced by asset managers is integrating the several, often conflicting, sources of information available on the infrastructure, its condition and performance, and the various predictive analyses that can assist in prioritizing projects or interventions. This paper presents an overview of the IS used by Portuguese water utilities and discusses how data from different IS can be integrated in order to support IAM.

Concerns over the condition of water and sewerage networks and their facilities are especially topical as several countries, including Finland, are approaching a stage where their aging and deteriorating pipelines will demand extensive repair, renewal and replacement. Solving the problems related to the construction and, in particular, the maintenance of water service infrastructures requires the methods of long-term planning and strategic decision-making, which are often referred to as water utility asset management. Since maintaining the operational capacity of water service systems has a crucial role in preventing hazards to human health and to the environment, the policy-level consideration of issues related to asset management planning seems well justified. A review of the institutional governance of asset management and investment planning in countries that are facing similar challenges provides several replicable principles for the water sector in Finland. A combination of legal requirements and professionally established norms could be expected to set an appropriate balance between securing adequate service levels and allowing utilities to decide autonomously on additional improvements.

Low Coverage

Low coverage of clean water in Indonesia leads to minimum consumption of clean water with proper health requirement. Increasement of clean water coverage is undergoing an effort from independent community in society. This research aims to find a service model of clean water for group based rural communities. Type of this research is descriptive qualitative, with research object is clean water independent provider group, Oyo Wening Santosa community, in a village called Bunder, district of Patuk, Gunung Kidul. Data was gathered by document utilization, parsitipatory observation, in-depth interview, and focus group discussion. Data was analyzed with qualitative method. This research shows that clean water coverage organized by communiy Oyo Wening is a model of sinergy for organization that was established by concern from society and government support, emerge in a program called “Sistem Penyediaan Air Minum Ibu Kota Kecamatan” (SPAM IKK). There are 1170 households channel subscribers spread across four villages. The service procedures are applied based on local conditions. This service has some drawbacks, namely the limited knowledge of the officer, the legality of which is not owned by the organization, facilities and infrastructure, and the relatively low tarrif, Rp 3,500 per m3. In conclusion, rural water services with the model applied in Oyo Wening Sentosa showed a changing trend in people's access to clean water and the local economy has increased. The legality of the business management of water services should become a priority for the stakeholders to ensure the realization of excellent service in providing clean water.

Low Coverage

PDAM Tirta, Meulaboh, West Aceh District, WTP Lapang, is a regional company which gives clean water service to the people of Meaulaboh, West Aceh District. The capacity of production of PDAM Tirta, Meulaboh, West Aceh District WTP Lapang, was 80 liters/second, but during the system of distribution, it lost water at the average of ± 47.95% and the coverage of service of 39.06%. This condition was still under the ideal condition, that is, the loss of ≤ 20 and the coverage of service was ≥ 60%.The aim of the research was to find the design of increasing the production capacity in order to increase the coverage of service and formulate the strategy to increase the production capacity in water distribution system. Based on the analysis, it could be concluded that the low coverage of service occurred because the people’s need for water at Meulaboh increased along with the increase in population. Another factor was the facility of distribution network and the production installation was already old so that a lot of water got lost.Based on the projection of the number of population, using Geometric Method, it was found that the number of population at Meulaboh in the early of the current year of 2012 was 58,645 and at the end of the current year of 2021 was 71,894 with the level of the growth rate was 2.29%. The total need for water by the people of Meulaboh in the early current year of 2012 was 5,499,731 liters/day (63.65 liters/second), and at the end of the current year of 2021 was 9,920,712 liters/day (14.82 liters/second). Based on the data analysis, it was found that the increase of the planned production capacity was 115 liters/second. The strategic planning in supporting the increase of the production capacity of PDAM Tirtanadi, Meulaboh, West Aceh District, WTP Lapang was the strategic planning for decreasing the loss of clean water, the developing strategy for clean water supply system., the strategy for increasing production capacity, and the strategy for increasing the quality of water.Keywords: Water Treatment Plan, Production Capacity, Increasing the Capacity, Population Projection.

The Impact

This study develops an implementation framework for asset management strategic planning of water distribution networks to meet sustainable infrastructure, socio-political, and financial targets over the life cycle of the infrastructure. The proposed framework is comprised of three decision-making layers: (1) Visions and Values, (2) Function, and (3) Performance. The asset management strategy framework is implemented and validated by demonstrating functionality and value by using data from three water utilities in Canada. The Visions and Values layer is set to meet the needs of the water utilities' stakeholders. The Function layer uses an advanced system dynamics model to simulate and forecast the system's future behavior. The Performance layer benchmarks, compares, and graphically illustrates the situation and performance of water utilities against each other regardless of their size. Benchmarking results indicate that all three water utilities can sustainably meet the strategic targets established in the Visions and Values layer of the asset management strategy over the benchmarking period. The impact of the desired cash reserve on infrastructure and financial benchmarking performance indicators is also investigated to explore the “optimal” combination of allowable fee-hike and rehabilitation rates using the contour plots developed over the benchmarking period. The results indicate that the optimal combinations of allowable fee-hike of ~8% per year and rehabilitation rate of 1.3% per year along with a 1–4% cash reserve, depends on the network condition, will allow water utilities to have sufficient funds to meet their strategic targets. The performance modeling and simulation approach presented in this study represents a powerful tool for other utilities to develop optimal strategic and operational plans for their networks and thus better service to their stakeholders.
