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, boundary lines and parcels. Over 1,500 scanned records were attached to the GIS data. The attached features allow District personnel to instantly access and view documents and plans in the field.
Utilizing Esri’s Collector app on mobile devices, District personnel maintain hydrant flushing, hydrant maintenance and valve maintenance logs in the field. District personnel populate data and attach pictures in the field. The maintenance logs are instantly updated to the valve or hydrant layer in ArcGIS online.
