Water utilities face the dual challenge of maintaining critical aging infrastructure while adapting to climate change impacts and evolving regulatory requirements. This session examines strategies for prioritising renewal investments, implementing condition-based maintenance programs, and developing resilience against extreme weather events. We'll explore approaches to managing distributed assets with limited resources, balancing preventive and reactive maintenance, and implementing effective risk management frameworks. Participants will share experiences in deploying remote monitoring technologies, addressing workforce transition challenges, and developing stakeholder support for necessary investments. Join utility colleagues to develop practical approaches for enhancing service reliability.
