• Districts adopting ad hoc approach
of addressing breakdown
maintenance and facility
replacement

EXPERIMENT : ADOPTING LIFE CYCLE COST APPROACH
TO PLANNING AND BUDGETING
The pilot intends to:
– Provide a framework for comprehensive
planning and budgeting for water
services
– Provide a framework for predicting facility
breakdown and planning for
maintenance, rehabilitation and
replacement
Duration: Feb. 2013 – June 2014
