Asset Management Guide for
Wastewater Utilities
Train-the-Trainer Toolkit
Welcome to the Asset Management Guide for Wastewater
Utilities Train-The-Trainer Toolkit. This page is a road map to help
you more quickly navigate the downloadable files on Asset Management.
The toolkit is
organized to allow instruction in the principles of asset
management and, where applicable, the corresponding section of
TEAMS.
The modular format of the presentation materials allows the
principles and the corresponding section on
TEAMS to
be given sequentially or individually as two distinct
offerings. The toolkit was prepared in this manner to allow
flexibility in instruction. The toolkit can be downloaded and
placed in a binder using the Tabs to organize the content.
Training Medium: This toolkit is designed for instructor
delivery to a group of participants, or as a self-paced
interactive presentation for use by an individual. Each
module has a PowerPoint presentation and a trainers guide.
Module Length: Each module shall run approximately one hour.
Pre-requisites: Module One - An Asset Management Overview, should
be completed first. All other modules can be completed in any
order.

The toolkit consists of five sections:
Preface:
The preface contains credits, an
introduction, and table of contents for the manual. It is in .PDF
format.

modules, each designed to be presented in fifty minutes.
The instructor is free to tailor presentations by adding additional
slides to the presentation. Handouts may be made by printing directly
from the presentations by selecting “Print” and then choosing
“Handouts.” This allows the instructor to choose the number of slides
appearing on each page.
Each presentation has a corresponding set of instructor notes.

the Total Electronic Asset Management System (TEAMS)

Handbook for
Local Officials:
As a bonus, your Asset Management Toolkit
package includes the publication, “Drinking Water and Wastewater
Handbook for Local Officials.” This handy reference is filled with
“need-to-know” information and is very useful in explaining the legal
and technical requirements for the treatment, storage, and distribution
of drinking water and the collection, treatment, and discharge of
wastewater.
We trust that you
