Abstract
From Data Migration to Information Communication
Track: Database Design, Automation, and Management
Author(s): Chris Way, Betty Antebi-Taylor
Dallas Water Utilities services about 1.9 million people and covers about 699 square miles. In the last two years, the Utility Automation Integration Program has successfully completed the data migration from CAD DGN format to an ArcSDE geodatabase using the ArcFM model for 4,566 miles of water mains; 4,021 miles of wastewater mains; and numerous features such as hydrants and fittings. GIS not only serves as an efficient data integrator but facilitates inter-departmental communications, supports real-time database management, and allows updating by field personnel. The spatial characteristics of GIS provide unique perspectives for engineering, design, and administrative uses.
