 Classification and Inventory of
Stormwater Assets
• Proposed asset categories:
1. Drainage assets: Pipes and culverts,
inlets, channels, ditches, and cross
slopes.
2. Water quality treatment assets: Basins
and ponds.
Ditch
• Agency to collect geographic and linear
referenced storm sewer asset inventory.

• Assets are weighted based on:

1. Cost of construction and maintenance.
2. Effect on flooding and pollution of water
bodies. Detention pond

 Work plans
• Maintenance actions are to be broadly classified as routine,
preventive, minor or major repairs.
• Maintenance manager or designated employee to act on
inspection results.
• Immediate repairs are carried out soon after needs are
reported.
• Prioritization and alternative evaluation are to be
conducted routinely
• Short and long range plans integrating agency wide needs
to be developed.

 Benefits of Implementation using
AgileAssets Stormwater Manager
• Conserves resources and improves efficiency in
business process.
1. Provides integrated decision level support
2. Inspection results are available immediately.
3. Requests are received and scheduled faster.
4. Process is paperless.
