Water Supply Asset Management Plan

Orange City Council Page 2

1 Executive Summary

Orange City Council’s intention is to provide the City with a water supply network that is serviced and

maintained to a level which reflects the community’s expectations and operates in a manner that is both

functional and cost effective. The water asset portfolio had a fair value of $317,587,000 at 30 June 2018.

This plan assists Council in the decision making process and is presented at a high level to provide key

information that can be used in the determination of levels of service and funding required.

This plan’s primary objective is to meet the adopted Levels of Service, which cover the following areas:

Water quality, flow and pressure availability and capacity

Water availability during droughts

Response times for system failures

Note that the Levels of Service are the targets which Council aims to meet; they are not intended as a formal

customer contract. Council’s performance in these areas is also presented in Section 12 – Performance

Measures.

Table 1-1 identifies the asset categories in this plan, the thirty year average costs and funding gap if one exists

between the available renewal budget and predicted renewal requirements.

Other 328 307 0 0 0

Total 1,893 1,601 2,715 9,507 81,462

Negative figures indicate a surplus in the first year, which will be required to fund renewals in subsequent

years where there is a funding gap. If the programs are flexible this surplus may be able to be used in other

categories which have a funding gap. The renewal modelling shows that the funding gap is increasing over the

30 years towards 2048.

Figure 1-1 identifies the proposed expenditure over the next 10 years, with an increasing backlog at current

levels of funding for all water supply asset categories. The backlog after 30 years is indicative of current levels

of renewal funding. The proposed Capital Works Program is detailed in Appendix C, including work for

Renewals, Upgrades and New Works.

Alternative funding scenarios are discussed in Section 11 – Financial Plan, including funding the renewal gap.

Figure 1-1: What will we spend over the next 10 years?

The current condition of our assets is shown in Figure 1-2 based on the value of each asset in each of 10

conditions ranging from 1 to 10, with 1 being near new and 10 as a completely failed asset.

2 Strategic Objectives

Council operates and maintains the water supply network to achieve the following strategic objectives:

To satisfy community expectations and regulatory requirements at a reasonable cost.

To have sufficient capacity for community growth.

To provide an environmentally and financially sustainable service.

To develop public confidence in the staff and services.

Orange City Council developed a comprehensive community engagement strategy to ensure a broad range of

opinions, ideas and visions were captured to help shape the Orange Community Strategic Plan (CSP). The

outcomes and strategies supported by that plan are detailed in the Strategic Asset Management Plan,

Strategic Business Plan (SBP) and Integrated Water Cycle Management (IWCM) Strategy.

To assist in the delivery of the objectives in this plan, a number of key documents and systems have been

prepared and should be referred to in considering the findings presented in Table 2-1.

3 Services Provided

Orange City Council provides reticulated water supply to the City of Orange and the villages of Spring Hill and

Lucknow. Council also provides reticulated water supply to the rural residential estates of Ammerdown and

Clifton Grove.

3.1 Orange Water Supply Scheme

The Orange Water Supply provides drinking water to approximately 19,000 connections including residential,

business and industrial customers. Raw water is collected at Suma Park Dam from surface water runoff from

the traditional catchment and supplementary supples of ground water, water transferred from Macquarie

Pipeline and harvested stormwater.

Raw water is then drawn from Suma Park Dam and treated at Icely Road Water Filtration Plant with a capacity

of 38 ML/day, originally constructed in 1959, and subsequently augmented and upgraded in 1966, 1985 and

2001. Treated water is stored at nine service reservoirs around the City, which is gravity fed through

reticulation mains to customers throughout the City.

Orange City Council Page 7

3.2 Spring Hill and Lucknow Water Supply Scheme

The Spring Hill and Lucknow water supply services approximately 150 connections, joined to the Orange water

supply scheme in 2018 with the commissioning of the Orange to Carcoar pipeline. Potable water is sourced

from the pipeline and pumped into storage tank at Spring Hill, where it is then distributed to the villages.

Orange City Council Page 8

3.3 Non-Potable Water Supply Scheme

Orange City Council also operates a dual water supply system for the Ploughmans Valley and North Orange

(PVNO) development areas, which will ultimately supply non-potable water to 4,500 connections in the north

and west of the City.

The extension of water supply services to new areas is dependent on a range of factors, detailed in the

Integrated Water Cycle Management Strategy, the most important of which relate to our Levels of Service:

Servicing new residential areas with adequate pressure available.

The impact on existing customers and firefighting capacity.

Water security.

Impact on water quality.

Affordable Typical Residential Bill (TRB).

Growth and Demand

In addition to assets constructed by Council, new water supply assets are also acquired from land

developments. In the last 5 years (2013/14 to 2017/18 FY):

Council’s total mains network has grown by 12.8%, from 624km to 704km (2.6% p.a.); and

The number of water assessments has increased 7.3%, from 17,190 to 18,439 (1.5%p.a.).

Acquiring these new assets commits Council to fund the additional operating, maintenance and renewal costs

associated with the assets.

Council has undertaken hydraulic modelling to determine what infrastructure would be required in the next 30

years to service new development and maintain levels of service for existing customers. This analysis was

collected in the “30 Year Infrastructure Strategy”. The projects included in the Infrastructure Strategy are

included in the Capital Works Program for growth.

Opportunities for Non Asset Service Delivery

Council has pursued a number of non-asset service delivery options which are detailed in the Strategic

Business Plan and IWCM. These include Backflow Prevention Policy, Water Loss Management program,

Demand Management Programs (showerhead replacement, rainwater tank rebates, water restrictions and

consumer education on saving water), and energy efficiency programs.

4 Levels of Service

One of the basic principles of sound asset management practice is to provide the level of service the current

and future community want and are prepared to pay for, in the most cost effective way (NZ NAMS 2007).

Water assets have been categorised into classes to assist in the determination of Levels of Service (LOS) which

are grouped into:

Community LOS – relates to how the community receives the service in terms of safety, quality,

quantity, reliability responsiveness, cost efficiency and legislative compliance; and

Technical LOS – the technical measures of performance developed to ensure the minimum community

levels of service are met.

Table 4-1 outlines what the community desires for each asset Category and how Orange City Council will

deliver it. The Community desires have been determined in line with the Community Strategic Planning and

Strategic Business Plan processes.

5 Condition of Our Assets

Council maintains a Condition Assessment Manual that details the frequency of inspection and condition

rating to be used for all assets. This data is recorded in the Council Asset Management System and used to

predict the timing of renewal / maintenance requirements in the Long Term Financial Plan.

Assets are rated on a 1 (Near New) to 10 (Completely Failed) scale consistent with the Maloney model and

advanced asset management practices as outlined in the IPWEA International Infrastructure Management

Manual. Details on how Council assesses condition and further information on the rating scale are contained in

the Condition Assessment Manual.

The intent of Council is not to undertake renewal on an asset until it reaches its ‘Intervention Level’, that is the

condition at which the community has determined renewal is required based on the LOS analysis. Typically

assets will be renewed by condition 8.

Asset Deterioration

Deterioration profiles have been developed that track the rate of deterioration expected over time for each

material type in each asset group. This information is used in our models to determine when an asset is

expected to be due for renewal, noting that assets will only be renewed when they reach their intervention

condition, not based on their age.

Figure 5-1 provides examples of several deterioration profiles used with the vertical column showing the years

remaining at a particular condition. For example, an AC main at condition 3 will last 56 years until complete

failure at condition 10.

Asset Condition Assessment

Using the information from the deterioration profiles and the intervention level set for the class of an asset we

can determine the expected useful lives of our assets as detailed in Table 5-1 below.

Electrical 8 15-40 years

Mechanical 8 5-60 years

Condition inspections for above ground assets are conducted annually by competent operational staff who

maintain the assets being inspected, with a member of the asset team to determine the condition of the asset

being inspected. The method of condition assessment for underground water supply assets is detailed in the

Condition Assessment Manual and is broken up as follows:

Level 1 assessment – a preliminary condition rating based on the asset age, material and pipe

diameter where no other information is available

Level 2 assessment – utilising operation and maintenance records (e.g. main break information) to

gain an understanding of asset condition. Assets that are identified in a condition close to or exceeding

the intervention level are scheduled for a Level 3 assessment.

Level 3 assessment – formalised condition assessment, e.g. hydrant flow testing. Inspections are

undertaken by competent operational staff who are qualified to conduct hydrant tests.

Orange City Council Page 15

Asset Register

The asset register captures the asset data and condition data in a hierarchical structure. The adequacy of the

data and information captured is comprehensive, although is due to be reviewed to ensure the relevance of

the data captured. This includes making sure that data is not captured for data’s sake, and that resources are

available to keep the data up to date. The review of the data is included as an action in Section 13 –

Improvement Plan.

Each asset’s condition is maintained in the Asset Register and Figure 5-2 gives the condition profile based on

the dollar value of assets in each condition.

An overview of the assets that are recorded in the Asset Register is provided in Table 3-1.

6 Operational Plan

The purpose of the Operational Plan is to ensure that service objectives (Levels of Service, statutory &

regulatory requirements and obligations) are achieved at the least cost and that the impact of any breakdowns

or outages is minimised. Operational Performance Indicators are shown in Section 12.

The operations plan is based on knowledge of the system assets and as such, there are ongoing requirements

for maintaining an appropriate asset register and for investigating the condition of key elements of the

systems that affect the ability to deliver the desired level of service. Contingency operations plans (emergency

response plans and business continuity plans) are being developed where the consequence of failure is

significant.

Existing operational systems, processes and procedures routinely deliver services that comply with levels of

service and regulatory requirements. Rapid changes in the operating environment in terms of customer

expectations, improved environmental outcomes, resource conservation, and higher regulatory standards will

require commensurate improvements in operations.

Key operational issues include the following:

Asset condition and monitoring program.

Monitoring of operational performance.

Review and documenting of operating procedures.

Implementation of mains and reservoir cleaning program to maintain water quality as part of ongoing

operations procedures.

Ongoing review of energy usage and reduction opportunities.

Operational activities are those regular activities that are required to continuously provide the service

including asset inspection, electricity costs, plant and overheads. Table 6-1 outlines the split of our operational

costs on an annual basis.

Routine Operations

Normal operational procedures are documented in Council’s Drinking Water Management System, and include

routines and procedures for water quality testing, telemetry & SCADA systems, periodic operational

inspections and flushing.

Council has also developed a Recycled Water Management System for the procedures in the Dual Water

reticulation network.

Emergency Response

Council has documented response procedures in place in the Drinking Water Management System for a

number of incidents including Boil Water Alerts, disinfection after main break and reporting requirements for

abnormal water quality results, pump breakdowns and main breaks.

Council also has a suite of Dam Safety Emergency Plans for each prescribed Dam under its control. The DSEP

include procedures for inspections, white/amber/red alert levels and contact for response in the community

for each alert level.

Business Continuity

Emergency operational procedures are being developed by Council into a suite of Business Continuity Plans

where service fails at critical facilities. The Water Supply facilities that are being considered under the BCP

process are:

Suma Park Dam (sole direct water supply storage).

Suma Park Pump Station and Rising Main (sole supply to the Icely Rd WTP) .

Future Operational Expenditure

Increases to operations and maintenance expenditure occur when new assets are acquired through new works

and developer contributions. These extra costs would be identified at the project stage when undertaking a

life-cycle cost analysis of the asset to be built and included in future operational budgets. For example:

Operation of the Orange to Carcoar Pipeline and Macquarie Pipeline.

New water pump stations in new development areas.

New reticulation mains in new areas adding to the overall network requiring inspection and flushing.

More water being treated at the Water Treatment Plant, resulting in more chemical use and electricity

use.

Impacts of Demand Management (e.g. water restrictions).

Impacts of Water Loss Management Programs (reducing water losses and other non-revenue water).

Future operational expenditure is forecast to trend in line with the growth in the water supply network.

Forecast operational expenditure levels are detailed in Section 12 – Financial Plan.

7 Maintenance Plan

The purpose of the Maintenance Plan is to support the Operation Plan by ensuring that the actual outputs,

reliability and availability of the water systems, facilities and components, as specified in the Operation Plan,

are achieved in the most cost effective manner.

Maintenance is the on-going work that is necessary to keep assets operating to ensure they reach their useful

life. It includes work on an asset where a portion may fail and need immediate repair to make it operational

again. It may be either planned where works are programmed in, cyclic in nature or reactive in response to

storm damage, vandalism etc.

Planned or scheduled maintenance is normally used for critical items where a breakdown would be

costly and would cause large interruptions to service. Scheduled maintenance can be fixed-time

interval or condition-based interval (e.g. every 10,000 pump run hours). These programs should be

documented in a Scheduled Maintenance Plan.

Reactive or breakdown maintenance is generally reserved for less critical assets, or for situations

where scheduled maintenance is not possible. These are usually carried out in response to service

requests.

Maintenance Programs

Current maintenance programs are designed to maintain water assets at their target levels of service and

minimise risk of future failure. Maintenance expenditure levels are considered to be adequate to meet

required service levels.

Future revision of this asset management plan will include linking required maintenance expenditures with

required service levels in the Community Strategic Plan. The level of service and standards of care for

maintenance is carried out in accordance with Council’s Asset Management Policy.

The maintenance programs are detailed in Appendix A, summarised in Table 7-1.

Figure 7-1: What is the breakup of our Maintenance Costs?

Future Maintenance Expenditure

Increases to the operations and maintenance expenditure occur when new assets are acquired through capital

works and developer contributions. These extra costs would be identified at the project stage when

undertaking a life-cycle cost analysis of the asset to be built and included operational budgets. For example:

Maintenance of the Orange to Carcoar Pipeline and Macquarie Pipeline

Maintenance of new pump stations in new development areas

New reticulation mains in new areas adding to the overall network requiring response when breaks

and leaks occur.

Future maintenance expenditure is forecast to trend in line with the growth in the water supply network.

Forecast maintenance expenditure levels are detailed in Appendix D.

Deferred maintenance, i.e. works that are identified for maintenance and unable to be funded, present a

higher likelihood of failure. This can happen if maintenance budgets do not increase in line with asset growth.

8 Capital Renewal Plan

Renewals works are Capital Work on an existing asset to replace or rehabilitate it to a condition that restores

the capability of the asset back to an acceptable level of service. The intervention level and estimated useful

lives are contained in Table 5-1.

Renewal will be undertaken using ‘low-cost’ renewal methods where practical. The aim of ‘low-cost’ renewals

is to restore the service potential or future economic benefits of the asset by renewing the assets at a cost less

than the full replacement cost. For example, pipe bursting existing mains where possible instead of re-laying

mains.

This Asset Management Plan contains an analysis based on broad assumptions and best available knowledge

to date. Modelling is not an exact science so we deal with long term averages across the entire asset stock.

Work will continue on improving the quality of our asset registers and systems to increase the accuracy of our

renewal models.

Details of planned renewal activities proposed over the next four years are contained in Appendix B for each

asset category. The first year of the program will be considered in the development of the next Operational

Program and the remaining three years of work will be assessed each year to confirm that the asset has

reached its intervention level prior to the work being scheduled.

Prioritising Renewals

Assets requiring renewal will be generally identified from estimates of remaining life and condition

assessments obtained from the asset register and models. Candidate proposals will be inspected to verify the

accuracy of the remaining life estimate and to develop a preliminary renewal estimate. Verified proposals are

ranked by priority and available funds and scheduled in future works programs.

Assets were identified for the renewal program based on the following criteria:

Not meeting the level of service (e.g. for fire flow from hydrants).

Poor condition/performance resulting in high risk to leave in service (identified from asset register)

from assets that have a level 2 assessment level

Assets that have been identified in poor condition/performance rating from a level 1 assessment have

been identified to undertake a level 2 assessment (e.g. water mains that have been assessed to be in

poor condition are scheduled to be tested before being included in a renewal program).

Any other specialist evaluation study commissioned by Council (e.g. Dam surveillance Reports,

Treatment Plant Capacity Studies, Pump Station & Reservoir specialist inspections and studies).

A backlog of works (works that have been identified as required, but not able to be funded), may result in

reduced performance e.g. main breaks, fire flow restrictions and water quality issues.

This risk may be acceptable for some assets, but not for others. A criticality assessment has been undertaken

for those assets at the Water Treatment Plant. The criticality rating is used to identify high risk assets and

prioritise renewals based on their consequence of failure. Assets that have a low consequence of failure that

are a low risk to remain in service are not included in Special Schedule 7 financial reports.

Renewals Expenditure

The costs presented in Table 8-1 identify the current level of funding for the required renewal programs and

the funding required to maintain the asset to what is considered an appropriate standard. The required

funding in that table is based on the intervention specified in Section 5.

For water supply assets, an analysis has been undertaken to determine assets that are already at or above

intervention level that are not able to be funded in the next Operational Plan. This work is quantified in the

‘Backlog’ column.

Negative figures (in red) indicate a surplus in the first year, which will be required in subsequent years or if

programs are flexible may be able to be used in other asset categories which have a funding gap. Overall,

however there is no surplus in renewal funding.

Appendix B details the renewal programs over the next 4 years.

9 Capital Upgrade & Expansion Plan

Upgrade and expansion works are those capital works that create a new asset that did not previously exist, or

works which upgrade or improve an existing asset’s capacity.

Upgrades enhance an existing asset to provide a higher level of service, for example improving water pressure

in an area, improving water quality, and improving water security. These works are identified in Appendix C as

Level of Service works. New assets are those created to meet an additional service level requirement or

increase the size of a network, for example, servicing new development areas. These works are identified in

Appendix C as New Works for Growth.

Works for growth may be funded in part through developer contributions in the form of Section 64

contributions, a Voluntary Planning Agreement, or as part of a subdivision development. These works are

identified in the Capital Works Program for ‘Future Growth’. They are usually not eligible for grant funding.

Upgrade works (Level of Service works) need to be funded from within the existing revenue stream of the

Water Fund. Upgrade works may also be eligible for grant funding.

Project Identification and Strategies

New assets and upgrade/expansion of assets are identified from studies completed by Council. These will be

included into Integrated Water Cycle Management (IWCM) Plan scenarios. The current capital works projects

have been identified from the following sources:

30 year Infrastructure Strategy 2014

IWCM Evaluation Study, May 2013

10 Asset Rationalisation and Disposal Plan

Disposal is any activity associated with disposal of a decommissioned asset including sale, demolition or

relocation. Assets with a condition rating of 9 (poor condition), where Council has received no contact through

the Customer Request System indicating that the community do not require the asset (as they have not raised

concerns or complaints about the asset condition) may be considered to be a redundant asset or not utilised

and therefore decommissioned and disposed unless it is considered critical infrastructure.

11 Financial Plan

This financial plan is based on Orange City Council’s financial statements from 2017/18 (Special Schedule 3 and

4), which are a key component of Council’s strategic business plans for water supply and sewerage.

A 30-year financial plan has been prepared for Council’s Water Supply business. The NSW Financial Planning

Model (FINMOD) has been used for preparing this Financial Plan.

This Financial Plan sets out the long term price path (Typical Residential Bills) Council will need to levy in order

to fund the recurrent cost and capital investment required for delivering the levels of service set out in this

Asset Management Plan.

A summary of the expenditure projected over the next 30 years is included in Appendix D. Funding for

management of assets can come from a variety of sources as detailed in the table below.

Developer charges, together with the annual charges, are Council’s two sustainable sources of income. In

order to project the annual charges, the income from developer charges needs to be estimated.

For assessing the developer charges for new development, it was assumed that each new residential

assessment will be 1 ET (Equivalent Tenement) and on average, each non-residential assessment will also be 1

ET.

Operation, Maintenance and Administration Costs

As a default, FINMOD assumes no change in the real operation, maintenance and administration (OMA) costs

per assessment, and increases the total annual OMA expenditure in line with growth. These costs are adjusted

annually for inflation.

Non-Residential Income

One of the inputs to FINMOD is the proportion of income from annual charges that will be provided from

residential customers. This input variable has a significant impact on the outcomes, as typical residential bills

are affected by the contribution of non-residential customers to the total income from annual charges.

For the water supply scheme, the historical split between residential and non-residential customers has been

assumed to continue for the next 30 years.

Residential Assessments 26.89% 49.10% 75.99%

Non-Residential Assessments 7.84% 16.17% 24.01%

Total 34.73% 65.27% 100%

Capital Works Program

The water supply business is highly capital-intensive, with capital costs representing about 70% of the cost of

providing water supply service.

Council’s capital works program is divided into three categories:

New Assets for improved standards (e.g. improvements to the drinking water quality).

New Assets for growth.

Renewals – replacement of assets that have reached the end of their useful life.

The 30 Year Capital Works Program is included in Appendix C. A summary is shown in Table 11-7

11.2 Water Fund Model Results

The main output parameter of this financial plan is the Typical Residential Bill (TRB) in current (2019/20 $)

dollars over the next 30 years. The TRB is the annual bill paid by a non-pensioner resident1, using the average

annual residential water supplied.

The purpose of the financial modelling is to identify the lowest TRB that will enable Council to fund the

operation, maintenance and development of the water supply system. The TRB is a measure of affordability,

and sets the price path Council needs to set in order to meet the proposed levels of service.

It is important to note that the financial outcomes (e.g. TRB, cash and investments) are shown in 2019/20

dollars. CPI adjustments are required annually.

Financial Data

The Water Supply Fund at 30 June 2018 had cash and investments totalling $46,822,000 and borrowings of

$2,086,000. According to Council’s loan repayment schedule, the existing loans will be repaid over the next 20

years.

The minimum Cash and Investments modelled has been kept above approximately 10% of business income in

the first few years, or $6,500,000.

Capital Works and Growth

The capital works and growth projections are shown graphically in Figure 11-2

Figure 11-2: Water Supply Capital Works and Growth

Orange City Council Page 32

Typical Residential Bill

The water supply TRB in 2018/19 was calculated as shown in Table 11-8, using Councils 2018/19 Fees and

Charges.

Table 11-8: Water Supply TRB Calculation

Item Charge 2018/19

Access Charge ($/assessment) 264

Usage Charge ($/kL) (175kL/a @ $2.41/kL) 422

TOTAL TRB $686

Over the next 4 years, this represents a Typical Residential Bill of (adjusted annually for CPI):

2019/20 (1.8% CPI) - $698

2020/21 (2.5% CPI) - $716

2021/22 (2.5% CPI) - $734

2022/23 (2.5% CPI) - $752

Results Summary & Recommendations

The results are summarised in Figure 11-3. The main output parameters shown in the figure are (all in 2019/20

dollars):

Typical Residential Bill:

The modelling indicates that the current TRB can be reduced with adjustments annually for CPI. This would

still enable Council to fund the operation and development of the water supply network identified in the

current Capital Works Program, without the need for borrowing.

Cash and Investments:

The cash fluctuates throughout the years. It accumulates in periods when capital investment is low, and

then the reserves are reduced as money is invested in new assets and renewals but is overall increasing

towards 2048.

Borrowings:

Loans are required when accumulated cash and investments are insufficient to fund capital works. The

base case includes all new works are funded through accumulated cash and investments, and no

borrowing is used.

Water Fund Model Sensitivity Analysis

A sensitivity analysis was carried out in order to assess the sensitivity of results to the input parameters. The

results of the sensitivity analysis are shown in Table 11-9. Three additional cases were modelled, as described

below:

Minimum Required TRB: The TRB was reduced until the minimum Cash and Investments in over the 30

Year model was at $6.5M. The following scenarios also used this threshold to calculate the TRB.

Slow growth: The growth projections were modified from the figures in Table 11-3, to a growth rate of

0.5% p.a. over the 30 year planning period.

Fully funding the renewal gap: the capital works program was increased to fully fund the renewal gap

identified in Section 8 through accumulated surpluses.

The Cash & Investments at year 30 was modelled to be the same as current 2019 levels ($46 million).

3. Slow growth – Minimum Required TRB

0.5% $ 104,268,000 529

4. No Renewal Gap – Minimum Required TRB (fully funded through accumulated surpluses)

0.9% $ 186,270,000 612

5. No net decrease in Cash and Investments (i.e. $46 million in C&I at year 30)

0.9% $ 104,268,000 541

The sensitivity analysis indicates that the TRB for water is highly sensitive to an increase in the renewals

program, which shows the highest TRB, and keeping a high level of Cash & Investments (reserves), which

shows the next highest TRB.

The sensitivity analysis also indicates that the lowest TRB is found in Case 2, where the renewal program is

kept at current funding levels (and the renewal gap as demonstrated in Section 8 exists), and the reserves are

used to fund the capital works program.

All scenarios show that the minimum TRB in each scenario is less than the current TRB of $686 (2018/19).

The following figures show a comparison of cases.

12 Key Performance Measures

Department of Industry (Water) publishes the NSW Benchmarking Report in May each year for the previous

financial year. Orange City Council’s performance as a water utility is also reported via the Triple Bottom Line

(TBL) report each year. The 2017/18 Report is due to be published in May 2019. Error! Reference source not

ound. shows a summary of the performance indicators included in the annual TBL Report.

Those areas where current performance has not met target performance are addressed in the Water and

Sewer Annual Report.

13 Risk Management Plan

Council is committed to the identification and elimination or reduction of risks associated with hazards that

arise throughout Council operations as far as reasonably practicable. To facilitate this process an Enterprise

Risk Management Plan has been developed which includes the management of risks for each of its assets.

From this Plan the key Risks have been identified in Table 13-1.

Moderate Undertake Criticality Assessment

Asset Inspections

One of the outcomes of this assessment is the determination of Critical Assets. Critical Assets are specific

assets which have a high consequence of failure but not necessarily a high likelihood of failure. By identifying

critical assets and critical failure modes, Council can appropriately target and refine inspection regimes,

maintenance plans and capital expenditure plans.

Page 41: Water Supply Asset Management Plan 2019 - 2048€¦ · Water Supply Asset Management Plan Orange City Council Page 8 3.3 Non-Potable Water Supply Scheme Orange City Council also operates

Water Supply Asset Management Plan

Orange City Council Page 39

Operations and maintenance activities may also be targeted to mitigate critical assets failure and maintain

service levels. These activities may include increased inspection frequency, higher maintenance intervention

levels, etc.

Reservoirs where there is a potential for failure to risk public safety, public health or property have been

identified as critical, as has the Water Treatment Plant, raw water supply system assets, and pump stations

with critical customers.

The following programs are based on best available information with the first year of works expected to be

delivered within budgetary constraints. The following years will be validated each year with a review of the

condition so that assets are only renewed at the intervention level. Works that cannot be funded within the

four years but which are expected to be due based on modelling are grouped as ‘unfunded works’.
