Overview
Municipal Fixed Assets are permanent stormwater infrastructure, storm drains, detention basins, treatment facilities, bioswales, and other structures that require regular inspection and maintenance. This program tracks each asset's condition and inspection history.

Program features
Municipal Fixed Assets supports these features. Which ones an asset has depends on its Site Profile, and Risk Assessment is available only when it is turned on for your organization:

FAQ
Q: What types of assets are typically tracked?
A: Storm drains, catch basins, detention/retention basins, treatment facilities, bioswales, permeable pavement, green infrastructure, and any other permanent stormwater infrastructure.
Q: Can I schedule recurring inspections?
A: Yes. The Next Inspection Date feature and reporting requirements set inspection schedules for each asset, when they are turned on for the asset's Site Profile.
Q: How does this differ from Structures?
A: Municipal Fixed Assets treats each asset as a standard site with full program features. The Structures program is purpose-built for tracking many individual structures within a single site, with structure-specific deficiency linking.
