The Water Directorate is very pleased to have developed an Operations and Maintenance Manual for Water Reticulation on behalf of our member councils.

This Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Manual is the fourth to be prepared by Asset Design Services of Albury City Council. It forms part of a series of O&M Manuals being developed to assist local government in delivering a reliable and cost-effective operations and maintenance regime. The user of this manual will be those local government authorities throughout NSW responsible for the operation and maintenance of water reticulation activities.

It is presented in a template format so that any Council can easily use it to suit their specific local installations and conditions. It is divided into several sections with each section concentrating upon a different aspect of implementing a best practice O&M regime.

Forthcoming O&M manuals will concentrate upon wet and dry well sewage pumping stations, water pumping stations (including river offtakes, bores and inline booster installations) and water supply service reservoirs.

The Water Directorate welcomes any feedback you may have about the content, structure or usefulness of the O&M Manual. A feedback form has been included for your convenience.
