2004 UC Proceedings Abstract
Modernizing a Water/Wastewater GIS Track: Water, Wastewater, and Stormwater Author(s): Jason Sparks, Alan Foley Gainesville Regional Utilities (GRU) is a midsized utility serving approximately 55,000 customers in North Central Florida. The GRU Water and Wastewater (W/WW) Engineering Division began the process of GIS implementation seven years ago with conversion of hardcopy maps to AutoCAD drawings. Over time islands of data and redundant processes emerged. GRU wanted to consolidate its facility information to streamline internal mapping, modeling, and work management processes. Jones, Edmunds, and Associates, Inc. recently assisted GRU W/WW Engineering in implementing ArcGIS 8.x, ArcFM 8.x, and upgrading to Cityworks 4.x. ArcGIS and ArcFM tools are used with an Oracle SDE W/WW geodatabase (GDB) to support internal mapping and analysis and with Cityworks to support work management. This presentation will provide an overview of GRU's experiences before, during, and after the software upgrades and GDB implementation.
