STATE OF THE ART OPERATIONAL MANUALS

摘要

Goulburn Valley Water (GVW) provides water and wastewater services to over 105,000 people in 56 towns and cities covering a geographical area of some 20,000 sq. km in north central Victoria. The systems include 1450 km of water mains, 42 water treatment facilities, 27 wastewater management facilities, 253 sewer pump stations and 900 km of sewers. In April 2000, GVW undertook an operations review with the aim of identifying key issues facing its Operations Group. The review followed a period of significanr investment in new infrastructure and technology, requiring the Authority to increase its focus on the operation and maintenance of these assets. The review identified several factors that could impact on the ability of GVW to continually deliver high quality water services to customers. One of the main factors identified was the lack of concise operations and maintenance (O&M) documentation.
