This webinar will demonstrate how water utility professionals can use Cartegraph Asset Management to improve valve exercising and hydrant flushing programs. Attendees will learn how an asset management approach helps streamline maintenance processes, minimize operational risks, and boost system efficiency. Designed for water utility managers, public works directors, and field crews, this session will showcase how Cartegraph Asset Management tracks maintenance activities, predicts potential issues, and supports regulatory compliance. Implementing these practices leads to better service reliability, extended asset lifespan, and more strategic resource allocation.

Key learning objectives:

1. Learn how to effectively manage valve exercising and hydrant flushing schedules to prevent costly failures.

2. Discover how Cartegraph Asset Management simplifies field data collection, tracks estimated vs. actual costs, and integrates with GIS for real-time asset updates.

3. Understand how to use data-driven insights to plan, prioritize maintenance, and trigger automated follow-up tasks.
