An inside look at creating utility coverages through an incremental process. Don't have a budget to hire someone to survey and digitize your city utilities? Then this talk is for you. You will learn how to use and manage the information you have on hand and begin to build a utility coverage that can be useful today, while it is improved and refined over time. This method is not for everyone, but for communities with limited resources that still need to add utility features in their GIS, there are methods available to get the job done.
