Getting Started with CUPSS
This workbook is designed to give you five easy steps to get
ready for using the Check Up Program for Small Systems
(CUPSS) for drinking water and wastewater utilities—the new
asset management software developed by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). By completing
several pencil-and-paper exercises, you will have a head start
on 'doing asset management' and adding your information into
CUPSS. Let's get started!
For step-by-step instructions on installing and using CUPSS,
consult your User's Guide.
Before you Begin
Before you begin using this workbook, you might have a few questions about CUPSS. Maybe
your state regulator or a technical assistance provider handed you this workbook and said, "Go
for it!" In this section, we'll give you a little bit of information about the CUPSS software and
how you might find it beneficial. We'll even tell you what asset management really means for
your utility.
The first thing you may ask is "What is CUPSS?" CUPSS is 'desktop software,' meaning it is a
program that runs on your PC at no cost to the user. Because CUPSS is desktop software, all
of your CUPSS data will be stored on your computer and is not accessible by EPA. You do not
need an Internet connection to use CUPSS, just a computer to load the software. If you are
connected, the program can use the Internet so that you can register your copy and update
your version when necessary. If you have questions about technical specifications, consult your
User's Kit. The User's Kit is a binder that contains everything you need to know about CUPSS.
It includes the CUPSS Installation CD, helpful fact sheets like the Asset Management Best Practices
Guide as well as the CUPSS User's Guide.
CUPSS is asset management software; its purpose is to help you organize and develop a plan
for the physical and financial health of your drinking water or wastewater utility. If you are
effectively managing your assets, you should be able to successfully meet customers'
expectations at an appropriate cost.
Like other types of computer software, there are two key components—input (what goes in),
and output (what comes out). CUPSS relies on a combination of specific information entered by
the user and general information provided by EPA. The information entered by EPA has been
inserted to provide additional assistance—such as the life expectancy of 6" mains—to provide
simple, eye-opening reports. You only need to enter in a couple of important assets and last
year's financial statement to generate a targeted action plan.
You are likely most intrigued by what CUPSS can actually do for you. We think CUPSS will help
you do these tasks:
• Communicate with the decision makers in your community
-------
• Make more informed, proactive choices
• Improve the efficiency and focus of your operations
• Maximize limited financial resources
Like anything worth doing, integrating CUPSS and asset management into your utility's culture
will take time and effort. These are certainly high goals, but we think taking the simple approach
used in CUPSS will result in great strides forward for your community.
Helpful Tip:
Don't forget to check out http://www.epa.gov/cupss to register your copy of CUPSS,
find training events near you and learn more about asset management.
-------
Step 1 - Why am I here?
Your discovery of CUPSS might have been by accident, on purpose or by recommendation. It
might even have been a condition of a loan or grant agreement. Regardless of the how, it is
time to think about the why. Ask yourself, "Why should I or anyone else use CUPSS? How can
this program help me operate and manage my utility more efficiently?" These exercises will
answer these and many other questions you might have.
Also start thinking about who helps you manage your utility—whether it be with operations or
financial records. Having your team in mind will help you with the exercises included in this
workbook.
Let's begin by identifying what you are doing well. We will start by listing
three areas of your utility where you see yourself already
succeeding. For example, if you have someone, perhaps a town clerk or
someone else, who keeps your accounting records organized and up-to-
date, this would be great to include below. Keeping these strengths in
mind will help you leverage opportunities for making changes as needed.
I.

Helpful Tip:
A map will help your utility understand the current service capacity. Use
Internet-based mapping tools (try Google Maps or Google Earth) to
visually designate the boundary of your utility's service area and
important features. You can also do this by hand using a regular or
topographic map!
-------
Now, think about and list three areas in your management strategy that could be improved to
facilitate your customer service interactions and relationships. For example, having a
comprehensive list of aging fire hydrants that need to be rehabilitated or repaired is beneficial
to the safety of a community.
2.
3.
CUPSS will help improve these areas! CUPSS also provides additional information addressing
other potential areas of improvement. These areas can be as simple as improving customer
relations or as detailed as developing a long-term maintenance strategy. What would you like
to improve and how would you do it? Select one of the areas you just listed, create a
target goal and date. What is your first step toward reaching your goal? Think about it
and write it below.
Here is an example: You have an issue area of "leak or break response time" Your
current response time is 24 hours.
Specific Goal: Reduce the leak or break response time by 50%
Goal Date: One year
First Step: Convene a meeting of all utility staff to discuss why the response time
is currently 24 hours
Area Selected #
Specific Goal:
Goal Date:
First Step:
Goal and milestone tracking is crucial in asset management
applications. CUPSS will allow you to establish and keep track of
both while conducting normal activities and following your
established maintenance plan. For now, just keep thinking about
these important issues. When you start using the software, it will
automatically prompt you to formally begin the goal-setting
process.
Helpful Tip:
Get a head start on
data entry by getting
your files organized!
-------
Step 2 - What assets do I have?
Now that you have figured out where you are and why you are here, let's examine your utility's
assets. We will use a drinking water chlorination system as an example. How much do you
know about the chlorination system? Can you answer the following questions about this
chlorination system? Do you know how your responses make the difference between having
safe, disinfected water and potentially health-hazardous water?
• When was it installed?
• How much did it cost?
• When was the last major repair?
• What maintenance will you perform on it this year?
• What and when are the typical routine maintenance actions performed?
• When are the major components scheduled to be replaced?
• Will you be financially prepared to replace a major component if it fails?
If you knew the answers to all these, you are already on the fast track to success. It is more
likely, however, that you knew some of the answers and knew where or how to find the rest.
CUPSS helps you identify your assets; allowing all of your important asset information to be
stored in one place.
While entering information about each of your assets is the most time-consuming part of
CUPSS, it is not difficult. In fact, this workbook has been developed to make it an easier
process. The inventory forms at the end of this workbook are similar to what you will see in
CUPSS within the "My Inventory" section. You can make copies of it, attach it to a clipboard
and start digging out those records. Taking baby steps—like planning 30 minutes every day to
add one of the major assets in your system—will have you in great shape in no time. Once you
have mastered this process, you can start using CUPSS to inventory and manage your assets.
Just copy the information you collected on the forms and putting it into CUPSS. Because
CUPSS contains dropdown features and help tools, you'll find it more efficient to use the
software. But for now, let's focus on thinking about the most important assets you have.
Helpful Tip:
Start with what you know and don't worry about leaving blanks. You can always
come back later!
-------
Once you have a few assets documented, begin thinking about how you'll enter your assets in
CUPSS!
I st Start by entering the most important assets you have. Let's use a chlorination system (like
the previous asset example). You'll type Chlorination System into the box beside Asset Name.
2nd Where is your chlorination system located? You'll type this information in the Location
box on this form.
3rd What is the Asset Category for your chlorination system? Not sure what an Asset
Category is? Any time you're not sure what to type in the form, click the red circle with a
question mark, and help text appears to guide you along the way.
Next Go through the rest of the boxes to enter all the information you have available about
your chlorination system.
Done! Do you want to add another asset to CUPSS? If so, click the "Save and Add Another
Asset" button. If you want to wait to add more assets, click the "Save and Return Home"
button. Whatever you decide, be sure to click one of these buttons! You want to save all the
information you entered.
Wasn't starting your inventory list easy? You'll be ready for CUPSS in no time!

Step 3 - What do I do every day?
Do you often feel like saying, "I barely remember what I did yesterday, let alone two years
ago!" You are not alone! Recalling the service history of important parts of your utility is as
critical as planning how you will get things done in the future. CUPSS allows you to do both. It
is important to develop habits that make and keep record-keeping super easy.
Reminder! For help with record-keeping procedures, see Record Keeping Rules: A
Quick Reference Guide. September 2006, EPA 8I6-F-06-033.
Let's practice developing a service record to see how easy it
can be. When maintaining a service record, you must begin by
entering in all necessary information into the task list shown at
the end of this workbook. Use it over the next few days to plan
and track both routine and unexpected maintenance tasks. You
can print this form from the "My Inventory" section. Don't
forget that you'll be entering your information into CUPSS
when you're done! Pretty soon, you'll be using CUPSS without
relying on these paper versions. But for now, let's get started
with tracking the tasks you can think of right now.
Helpful Tip:
Institutional knowledge is
valuable! If you already
keep service records, it is
well worth spending time
each week entering them
into CUPSS!
Remember the bigger picture!! We understand that operating a water or
wastewater utility is a tough job that requires a lot of brain power. To get ahead
of the curve, it helps to plan. What preventive actions do you routinely take?
Write down three important tasks you complete routinely, say, every quarter.
2.
3.
Are these written down anywhere else? Is there a record of these tasks? How do you ensure
that they are completed? The next form looks very similar to CUPSS. Begin filling it out,
starting with the three tasks above.
-------
You can take these tasks that you've listed on the last form and enter them into your CUPSS tasks list. Just
select "Add a Task" in the "My O&M" section. Enter the Task Name and specific details about the task For an
asset-specific task, such as pressure testing your pipes, you can pick from one of the assets you've already
entered into CUPSS or you can enter a new asset. It's best to put as much information as you can into the
system because it saves it for you. Now your tasks are in your CUPSS calendar! CUPSS recommends many
preventive maintenance tasks and allows you to enter your own, all on this central calendar.
This screen allows you to schedule one-time and recurring tasks within
the 0&M section. J

Step 4 - Where is the money
going?
As you've been learning, CUPSS is intended to make your job
easier. Financial decisions are one of the most important and
most difficult aspects of managing a utility. Do you know what
you will need to spend in the next 5 years? CUPSS will help.
However, before CUPSS can give you indicators of your future
financial health, it needs some information from you.
Use the next form to summarize last year's financial statement
or this year's budget. You can use the revenue and expense
categories listed or add your own.
Helpful Tip:
Customer rates and
service related fees
should recover the full
cost of service, offset
by any grants the
system receives for
capital improvements.
Using "My Finances" keeps track of all your budgeted and actual revenues and expenses that you
expect to occur this year. It also keeps track of what your revenues and expenses were for past years.
You'll even be able to graphically display how your finances change each year by simply clicking the
"Graph It" button at the top right of this section. In addition, you'll be able to see your actual expenses
and revenues in relation to your current interest rate—without having to figure out any tough
calculations. This is a simple, yet crucial, preparation step for understanding how to recover the full
cost of doing business. Coupled with several completed asset records, you will be well on your way to
harnessing the full powers of CUPSS and long-term success of your utility.

Step 5 - What now?
It is likely that you needed to do some searching for the
information we requested in this workbook. Maybe you
needed to ask others for help or sell your decision makers
on the process. Before you open the User's Kit, take a few
moments to list potential members of your CUPSS Team.
Most members of your team will not use CUPSS on a day-
to-day basis but will need to be kept informed of your
progress. You might not have the ultimate authority to
make decisions, especially financial ones. Anyone who
does should be a member of your team.
List names and phone numbers of three key team
members you would like to recruit. Bonus points for
already bringing them on board!
Helpful Tip:
Don't forget to include
any administrative
personnel as team
members. If you are
lucky to have these
professionals in your
water utility, you've got
a leg up on many
others!

For more information on creating your asset management team, see Building an Asset
Management Team Factsheet. December 2007, EPA 8I6-F-07-OI3.
To gain decision makers' interest in being a part of your asset management team, set up a
meeting to view the CUPSS and Us presentation available in the User's Kit.
For more information on asset management and CUPSS, see http://www.epa.gov/cupss
Your CUPSS User's Guide, the CUPSS Training Module, and any in-person training will
complement this workbook and provide additional tips and tricks. However, completing the five
easy steps in this workbook should give you the confidence to add CUPSS to your utility's 'best
practices.' Ready? et! Go!

savings or future draws from capital savings accounts.
A component of a facility with an independent physical
and functional identity and age (e.g. pump, motor,
sedimentation tank, main).
Where the asset best fits within your system (e.g.,
source water, distribution or collection), for
organizational purposes.
A list of assets with details about each one (installation
date, original cost, condition, and such). Also known as
an asset register.
A process for maintaining a desired level of customer
service at the best appropriate cost.
The name of the technology or equipment that is used
for your system to properly function (for example, "5th
Street Pumping Station"). See Asset.
This is how your utilities view an asset. Assets can be
active (most assets), not in use or a future investment.
You would designate an asset a "future investment" if
you would like it added to your capital improvement
plan.
The asset's functional purpose for a specific asset
category (for example, intake structure, pumping station,
transmission main, storage tank, and the like).
Assets that are directly related to a primary asset's
function.
A location that complements an associated asset.
Funds required for the future purchase, repair and/or
alteration to or for an asset, structure, or major pieces
of equipment.
A plan that projects and assesses which projects
(including asset improvements, repairs, replacements,
and such) need to be completed in the future.

The amount of cash that is available to the system within
a 24 hour period.
The current condition, in your opinion, of an asset based
on age and physical functionality (ranging from poor to
excellent).
The real or hypothetical results associated with the
failure of an asset.
The dollar amount that must be paid each year toward
paying down or retiring existing debt.
Debt Ratio =Total Liabilities / Total Assets
The debt ratio measures the amount of debt being used
by the organization. A ratio of 0.6 means that 60% of
operations have been financed with debt and the
remaining 40% has been financed by equity.
Funds set aside for unexpected repairs and
replacements. CUPSS recommends that utilities work
towards an emergency reserve balance of 25% of its
annual operating expenses.
The average amount of time, in years, that a system or
component is estimated to function when installed new.
Money spent by the utility to continue its ongoing
operations.
Expense Ratio = Operating Expense / Total Expense
The expense ratio measures the amount of operating
expenses compared to total expenses. A high ratio
indicates that most expenditures are for operations -
leaving the remaining balance for non-operating costs
(such as debt service, capital improvements, etc.). If the
non-operating balance is small, then the utility is not
likely to meet all of its capital-related expenses, which
may cause the system to deteriorate more rapidly.
Intangible assets such as cash and bank balances.
The amount, as a percent, a community's demand for
water or wastewater treatment has increased or
decreased. This value will be used to adjust future
revenues and expenses.
The anticipated rate of increase in the price level of
goods and services.

the system's service.
The financial obligations for which the utility is
responsible.
The frequency of routine maintenance as recommended
by the manufacturer.
Total annual cost of operating and maintaining the water
or wastewater utility service. This does not include
savings or future funds withdrawal from capital savings
accounts. Operating expenses include maintenance,
equipment, salaries, wages, benefits, supplies, chemicals,
contracts, utilities, monitoring, testing, emergency, rent,
mortgage, insurance, services, training costs, billing costs,
fees, and security costs.
Operating Ratio = Operating Revenue / Operating
Expense
The operating ratio demonstrates the relationship
between operating revenues and operating expenses. A
high ratio indicates that the organization has operating
efficiency by keeping expenses low relative to revenue.
The amount paid for the initial purchase of an asset.
The chance an asset will fail based on the percent of
effective life consumed and redundancy.
Spare assets that have the ability to do the same job, if a
failure of the primary asset were to occur.
How much will it cost to replace the asset, if required
today?
Funds earned by the system through the sale of water or
by other means.
The difference between the total cost of doing business
and the funds received from fees, loans and grants, and
interest earned from any accounts. If the result is zero
or greater, the utility is taking in enough money to fully
recover its costs and have a surplus. If the result is less
than zero, the utility will not cover all costs and
therefore will have a deficit.
The potential for realization of unwanted adverse
consequences or events.
