Guidelines for the management of assets of water supply and wastewater systems — Part 1: Drinking water distribution networks

Abstract

This document specifies guidelines for technical aspects, tools and good practices for the management
of assets of drinking water networks to maintain value from existing assets.
This document does not apply to the management of assets of waterworks (including catchment and
treatment, pumping and storage in the network), which are also physically part of the drinking water
system and can influence the management of assets of the pipe network.
NOTE 1 The drinking water network is taken to include both pressurized and non-pressurized (i.e. containing
free surface flow) conduits and accessories such as valves and control or metering equipment.
NOTE 2 The management of assets of drinking water pumping stations and storage in the network will be
included in another part of the ISO 24516 series.
This document focuses on the assets typically owned or operated by drinking water utilities (networked
drinking water systems) that are expected to meet customer needs and expectations over longer (multigenerational)
periods.
