# ASSET MANAGEMENT STRATEGY

## MUNICIPAL UNDERGROUND SEWER ASSET MANAGEMENT

The PAUSE Program is a cost-effective and environmentally sustainable underground sewer asset management strategy for municipalities

Use this long-term, systematic approach to manage your municipality’s underground sewer assets.

##### MINIMIZE RISKS, MAXIMIZE RESOURCES

Better Manage Your Growing Infrastructure Needs With The Progressive Assessment Of the Underground Sewer Environment (PAUSE) Framework

### **Save the Environment**

Use non-toxic smoke testing and non-toxic dye, instead of chemicals, to find broken manholes, sump pumps, stormwater drains and more.

### **Prevention Is Better Than Cure**

Learn how municipalities can effectively eliminate preventable sanitary sewer overflows and sewage pollution with a proactive ongoing maintenance program.

### **NASSCO-Certified Inspections**

Get a thorough inspection of your sewer main lines, service laterals and utility pipelines using CCTV video and comprehensive report done by NASSCO-Certified professionals.

### **Long-Term Focused**

This approach helps municipalities be agile in response to internal & external changes and servicing the community more consistently, while keeping risks at bay.

**Practical & Lower Cost Approach**

Leverage on No Dig sewer technology for point repair or replace main underground sewer lines, drains and water pipes – without doing a full pipe relining!
