Opportunities and Obligations
State Asset Management
Funding
- The Capacity Development Grant, a funding apparatus in which systems can receive grants for the preparation of documents that will assist them in the maintenance or enhancement, may be used for asset management planning.
- Both system staff and trustees must attend an 8-hour asset management training to receive principal forgiveness. In cases where the system gets principal forgiveness more than once, they are required to go to training each time they receive principal forgiveness.
Assistance

Maine Water Utilities Association, Maine Drinking Water Program, Maine Rural Water Association, and the Environmental Finance Center Network also provide training related to AM.
- EFC network offers remote assistance with mapping and asset inventory data collection.
Other
