The Tennessee Infrastructure Scorecard is designed to assist utilities and agencies benchmark a water infrastructure system’s financial, managerial, and technical performance. Results from the Scorecard highlight critical system needs. Utilities should use this information to prioritize projects based on the Scorecard results.

The Scorecard is divided into sections covering general system information, finances, asset management, optimization, system compliance, and performance sections. A Scorecard should be completed for all water infrastructure systems managed and operated by the City, County, or Utility District.

Communities can use this assessment to demonstrate critical needs, develop a business action plan, address management issues, identify simple cost effective actions, and improve optimization and performance of a system.

Any community seeking grant dollars through the State Fiscal Recovery Fund grant program must complete a Scorecard as part of their grant application.
