Infrastructure Readiness & Workforce Verification Platform · Prototype
Confidential · May 2026
SC-WIIC · South Carolina · Prototype
Infrastructure readiness and workforce verification for South Carolina water systems.
Five questions TORBU makes answerable
1. Who had authority? 2. What was executed? 3. Who reviewed and approved it? 4. Who is accountable for the outcome? 5. Is there a complete audit trail?
Roles and governed workflows
Roles define authority. Workflows happen inside it.
How TORBU defines authority
1. A role defines authority. What you can see, approve, and be held responsible for. 2. A workflow is the sequence of actions that happen within that authority. 3. No single user sees the full system.
Prototype navigation
Five readiness tracks. Three reference screens.
How to use this readiness prototype
1. Pick one track. Follow the black bar. Open Context for additional detail. 2. Return to Journey Start before beginning another track. 3. Use reference screens for roles, authority, board oversight, and funding readiness.

Funders determine consequences.
Why SC-WIIC carries institutional weight
Standards authority. BAMI-I defines and owns the CTAM curriculum and readiness methodology. SC-WIIC certifies utilities against those standards. TORBU governs the evidence record. Funding alignment. SC RIA and USDA Rural Development use readiness posture in funding and technical assistance decisions. Certification through SC-WIIC connects utilities to that process. Institutional backing. SC-WIIC is organized under the governance of BAMI-I, SCSU, and South Carolina Rural Water Association. No single state agency controls it. No utility can be certified by its own staff.

TORBU makes those questions answerable with a governed, auditable record for every action in the system. Pick a track to see how.
Six tracks. Pick one. Follow the black bar. Open Context for additional detail. Return here before starting another track.
Track A vs. Track F: Same five questions. Same governed record. Same governance structure. Elloree (268 residents, Orangeburg County) has manual entry, a lapsed certification, and no AMA in-house. Orangeburg Department of Public Utilities has connected systems, a full CTAM cohort, and an authorized AMA on staff. Both run through the same submission chain. AMA: Authorized Management Advisor — a SC-WIIC-recognized technical reviewer authorized to validate asset, workforce, and funding-readiness evidence.

BAMI-I/CTAM/Methodology & Certification Framework
TI
CTAM Methodology Framework
BAMI-I defines, versions, and publishes the CTAM curriculum and certification standards. TORBU operationalizes them statewide.
v3.2 · Live v4.0 · In development
What CTAM is
A four-course curriculum that teaches operators, engineers, and managers to assess, prioritize, and fund buried asset systems. Completing all four courses qualifies staff for AMA certification.
What CTAM produces
Governed workforce evidence. Every completion, assessment, and field exercise is attributed to a participant and attached to a utility readiness record. BAMI-I owns the standards. TORBU governs the record.
Why it matters for SC-WIIC
CTAM completion is the workforce evidence SC-WIIC needs to issue a certification. A utility without trained staff cannot demonstrate managerial capability — regardless of infrastructure condition.

CTAM Upgrade · v4.0 — Authorized by BAMI-I Board
CTAM is undergoing a thorough revision to both content and process. CTAM-100 becomes a self-paced virtual intro. CTAM-200 and CTAM-300 are being rebuilt as one-day live or virtual instructor-led courses, each split into gravity pipe and pressure pipe modules. CTAM-400 becomes a live course for utility managers, accountants, and government officials. The upgrade adds explicit emphasis on pressure pipe assets (water mains, force mains) alongside gravity pipe (wastewater, stormwater). All courses are organized around eight foundational asset readiness questions.
Eight Foundational Questions · Spine of the Upgraded Curriculum
Every asset readiness plan must answer these questions. The upgraded CTAM courses are organized around them explicitly.
Q1
What assets do we have?
CTAM-200 · Inventory & mapping
Q2
What is the asset's location?
CTAM-200 · GIS mapping
Q3
What are the conditions and remaining useful life?

Workbook · Riverbend Case Study Active
Workpage 3 of 4
Workpage Prompt
Using the CTAM risk method (Risk = LoF × CoF), score asset P-101 (Gravity Main · Riverbend District 3 · vitrified clay · est. 1962 · 1,240 ft). Enter your likelihood and consequence scores. Attach supporting field evidence. Explain your scoring rationale.
Response type: Open Ended · Field evidence required · Supervisor attestation required before submission
Asset P-101 is a 1,240 ft vitrified clay gravity main installed in 1962. Based on CCTV inspection results and operator field notes, I am scoring LoF at 7 of 10 due to age, material brittleness, and observed joint displacement. CoF is scored at 8 of 10 — this segment serves a high-density residential zone with no bypass routing available. Risk score = 56. I recommend priority rehabilitation in the next capital cycle.

Founding Premise
SC-WIIC Founding Premise · Illustrative
States that establish a centralized, governed accountability platform gain real-time visibility into water infrastructure condition, funding readiness, and readiness posture across every utility — consolidating data that today sits in separate systems, spreadsheets, and paper files. This screen illustrates what that platform looks like in practice — utility-by-utility AMP submission status, readiness opportunities, and statewide readiness posture in a governed, auditable record.

Platform note · Cybersecurity governance
The governed operational record produced by this platform is also the infrastructure for cybersecurity accountability. The five questions — who had authority, what was executed, who reviewed and approved it, who is accountable, is there a complete audit trail — are exactly what a cybersecurity incident response requires. Access control attribution, immutable audit trails, workforce credential governance, and vendor oversight records are byproducts of accountability governance. EPA Water Sector Cyber Risk Assessment requirements and CISA critical infrastructure performance goals point toward mandatory cybersecurity governance for water systems on the same governed-record trajectory. The governed record is the same infrastructure. The entry point is different.
Authority Model: SC-WIIC defines roles by accountability, not just platform interaction. Click any card to enter that role's workflow.
Reference/Authority Model
JM
Authority Model
The governing body member carries fiduciary obligation. The reviewer issues readiness certifications. The utility manager submits the governed record. TORBU enforces those authorities through workflows, approvals, and audit trails.
Five questions every regulator needs to answer
1. Who had authority? 2. What was executed? 3. Who reviewed and approved it? 4. Who is accountable for the outcome? 5. Is there a complete audit trail?

Meeting-Ready Board Packet · Q2 2026 For governing body review · May 15, 2026 meeting
This packet summarizes Orangeburg Department of Public Utilities's accountability posture for governing body review. It is not the full evidence register. Board members review posture and acknowledge oversight — they do not review raw operational data.
Items for acknowledgement
! Submission under SC-WIIC review — no renewal recommendation issued
! Financial capability attestation pending board sign-off
! 4 board members have not completed governance training
✓ 18 high-priority assets linked to CIP — no new certification pathways
Upcoming obligations
Jul 1, 2026 — Submission readiness certification due
Jan 1, 2027 — Governing body training deadline
Ongoing — CIP review and capital plan alignment
2030 — Next renewal cycle opens · TMF certification becomes a readiness priority
Fiduciary Oversight Attestation · Required
As a governing body member, you are required to attest that you have reviewed the utility's accountability posture summary and acknowledge your fiduciary responsibility for plan oversight. This attestation is recorded and attributed to your account. It is included in the utility's readiness record visible to SC-WIIC review staff.
Attestation statement
"I, P. Santos, governing body member of Orangeburg Department of Public Utilities, confirm that I have reviewed the accountability posture summary for the current quadrennial cycle and acknowledge my fiduciary responsibility for oversight of the utility's asset readiness program."

How the signal is used
SC-WIIC certification does not replace funder judgment. It gives funders a governed record: who submitted evidence, who verified it, what gaps remain, and whether the utility is ready for grants, loans, technical assistance, or workforce support.
SCSU role
SCSU can anchor the workforce side of adoption: CTAM cohorts, student pathways, operator credential records, and rural technical assistance tied directly to utility readiness.
