This article discusses the development of a measurement system for evaluating and controlling a water utility's maintenance activities. The system involves the development of models to graphically describe and measure the work content of the various jobs. The first set of models, which focuses on task descriptions, comprises the construction measurement system. The second set of models comprises the performance measurement system and is developed at the department level to measure labor productivity.
