In Asset Management, levels of service (LOS) describe the outcomes customers experience through the services Town assets provide. Every day people use Town assets to travel safely, get clean drinking water, and many other services. Typically, customers are more focused on the services they receive (e.g. customer LOS), but behind the scenes the Town is making investments, delivering operations and maintenance, and weighing tradeoffs between cost and risk that ensure the customer receives this service (e.g. technical LOS).
The LOS measures in each asset management plan have been compiled into tables, beginning with the corporate goal of the assets/service followed by customer and technical measures. For some measures, a preliminary observation about what direction the data is trending in has been made. Trend observations were not always possible with only two years of data, and not all LOS metrics would even have a trend attributable to Town performance or service outcomes.
It is important to know that LOS measures do not have endorsed targets. Trend observations are made on the basis of general best practice related to the sustainability of assets, services, and finances. Trend observations do not indicate how close or far away the Town's LOS is from any hypothetical LOS target.
