Drinking Water Plant Asset Management

Beyond traditional operational and maintenance services, Astbury has developed the Astbury Plant Asset Management Model (APAMM). With this service, Astbury assumes complete responsibility for operating, maintaining, and replacing plant assets for a specified contract term.


This comprehensive service makes Astbury completely responsible for plant operations, enabling customers to focus entirely on their primary business without worrying about environmental compliance.

The asset management model is a simple arrangement that gives the customer complete ownership and control of the plant assets while not having the responsibility of daily operations and maintenance. There is no “typical” asset management arrangement, but most arrangements have Astbury contracting with the owner of a drinking water plant for a number of years. The longer that the customer can commit; the more economical the arrangement is for both parties. After a contract is agreed upon, Astbury will receive set monthly payments, and in exchange, be completely responsible for daily plant operations, including IDEM reports and fines. In addition to daily operations, Astbury will be financially responsible for normal wear items and assets, including:

  • blowers
  • pumps
  • grinders
  • electrical equipment
  • controls
  • pipes
  • lift stations
  • flow meters
  • valves
  • UV systems
  • diffusers

Before any arrangement can begin, Astbury will inspect the plant and related assets. Some plants cannot be operated under the asset management model, but most plants in decent condition are applicable.

Non-wear items are usually exempted from the agreement such as: in-ground tanks and collection systems. Also, Astbury will not be responsible for past plant violations and liabilities, as Astbury will only assume responsibility for liabilities resulting during Astbury operation of the facility.
