Michigan's Water Asset Management Council (WAMC) was created to lead, guide, and assist communities in the development and/or enhancement of their drinking water, wastewater, and stormwater asset management programs. The WAMC is legislatively charged with the development of asset management templates, as well as annual reporting to the Michigan Infrastructure Council on the asset condition and investment of water infrastructure across the state. The WAMC is considered a 'sister council' to the Transportation Asset Management Council.
This year's day and a half long event, "From Silos to Synergy: Infrastructure Asset Management in Action," will showcase sessions about the transformative power of a unified, integrated asset management approach from infrastructure asset owners across various types of infrastructure and disciplines. Don't miss this opportunity to connect, learn, and advance your asset management practices alongside stakeholders from across the state and country!
Wednesday, September 23, 2026 (12:00pm-4:30pm ET) & Thursday, September 24, 2026 (8:00am-4:00pm ET)
Schoolcraft College Vistatech Center, 18600 Haggerty Rd, Livonia, MI 48152
Registration will not be accepted after 9/7/26 For more information about the event, please contact Tiffany Hall at Tiffany@EdgePartnerships.com or Emilee Madison at MIC@Michigan.gov. This event is brought to you by the Michigan Infrastructure Council (MIC), the Michigan Transportation Asset Management Council (TAMC), and the Water Asset Management Council (WAMC)
Part 50, Water Asset Management Council, 2018 PA 324 , required the WAMC to develop a template that contains requirements for information to be included in an Asset Management Plan (AMP) submitted under section 5004. The statute also establishes a schedule for submission of AMP templates that ensures 1/3 of asset owners submit an asset management plan each year.
The survey is now closed until October 1, 2026. Please check back in September 2026 for more information on the Year 3 Survey
The list of asset owners and the years they must complete a survey are listed below. All rounds 1-3 are included
