Facing an operating budget shortfall, the City of Milan hired Wade Trim Operations
Services to provide operation, maintenance and management of the City’s water and
wastewater treatment plants. We also oversee ten sewage lift stations and two storm water
lift stations. Wade Trim provides all personnel. We also provide emergency response
to water and wastewater operational problems, assist with equipment warranties, prepare monthly
operating reports and propose capital improvement projects to the City.
Key to controlling the costs of operating the City’s water and wastewater treatment
plants, is the implementation of an Asset Management Program and Computerized Maintenance
Management System (CMMS). The Asset Management Plan uses an Enterprise Asset Management
approach that recognizes that maintenance dollars are limited or scarce. This approach develops
priorities for maintenance and capital replacement. Good recordkeeping is also important
for controlling costs at the plants. The CMMS will be used to track labor and materials
costs for maintenance activities, schedule work, and provide detailed instructions to
operating personnel.
