Support Infrastructure Asset Management Within Public Works
In 2010, after the National Capacity Development and Operator Certification Workshop, a State-EPA workgroup was formed to evaluate and report best practices in building and evaluating managerial capacity. This effort included assessing how states were utilizing asset management practices through a detailed state survey of all 50 states and Puerto Rico. The survey results were shared in the 2012 State Asset Management Initiatives Document. EPA then released an updated version in 2018 for states to reference as they incorporated new asset management activities into their capacity development strategies to meet the 2018 America's Water Infrastructure Act requirements. The 2024 document builds upon the previous information by describing states' asset management initiatives described in their revised capacity development strategies. https://www.epa.gov/dwcapacity/state-asset-management-initiatives-documents

Improve the U.S. Infrastructure Report Card through Utility Engineering Asset Management
Many state and federal agencies have policies (e.g., laws, regulations, incentives, practices, procedures, and administrative actions), or are considering policies, to address water infrastructure needs. How will state and federal officials measure the success of such policies? And how will agencies that are considering new policies decide which ones to adopt? This report identifies data and information that agencies can use to better assess water infrastructure needs of utilities of all sizes within their jurisdiction as well as develop, implement, and evaluate policies intended to help meet these need

The Buried Asset Management Institute – International (BAMI-I) is a non-profit corporation whose main purpose is to educate and assist those who have an interest in applying best-buried asset management practices to extend the life and efficiency of their assets. Although BAMI-I has been mainly focused on water and wastewater systems, the principles of asset management apply to all different types of buried assets including for instance gas distribution pipes, and electric cables.
