Asset Management at Houston's Oldest Water Treatment Plant.

The article discusses the condition assessment and asset management of Houston's East Water Purification Plant (EWPP), which consists of three surface water treatment plants. The plants were built at different times and have undergone multiple upgrades to meet increasing water demand and regulatory requirements. The city conducted a risk-based assessment of the plant's assets to determine their condition and prioritize rehabilitation or replacement. The article highlights the challenges faced by the plant, such as declining filter performance, and the measures taken to improve water quality and filter run times. The project offers insights that can help other utilities make informed decisions about their aging infrastructure. [Extracted from the article]
