H2M migrated the District’s existing GIS distribution system map from Desktop GIS format to the ArcGIS Online cloud. ArcGIS Online has extended the reach of the District’s GIS map to all personnel, both in the office and in the field. The ArcGIS Online map contains all desktop layers, including water mains, valves, fire hydrants, plant site, water main breaks, tank locations, parcels with account numbers, and boundary lines.
Distribution System water mains, valves, and fire hydrants were all placed into the GIS along with the necessary data attributes, such as main sizes and numbers. Additionally, fire hydrants have been color coded to indicate if they are valved or not. Almost 1,100 valve sketches were scanned and attached to the geographic valve location. The attached features allow District personnel to instantly access and view documents in the field.
