The condition of the water and wastewater infrastructure is top of mind for water professionals. The primary concern lies in the ability to repair, replace, and add buried infrastructure in a timely, predictive, and systematic way. The importance of asset management and predictive maintenance could never be more significant than it is right now. So, what does predictive maintenance have to do with five stabbings and 36 days of poison? LaFrance uses the analogy of his own recent predictive maintenance experience to illustrate the importance of water infrastructure asset management.
