US EPA free CUPSS software is pretty good at keeping track of utility asset values, replacement costs, and finances and showing based on rate structures if a utility will be operating in the red or black in future years with a 20 year forward analysis including water rate planning.

64 Seconds WaterPoint Network is a GIS and Asset Management mobile app that can keep a geographic inventory of assets and also export the asset inventory, status, and condition data out to CUPSS for the long term 20 year financial analysis.
