Abstract
 Improving Utility Maps, Locations and Maintenance with Custom Tools Track: Water, Wastewater, and Stormwater Author(s): Jim VanOstenbridge, Trevor Feagin The City of Tamarac, Florida, with a population of 59,430, has an enterprise GIS with a broad user base. Planimetric and Utility maps are in a custom geodatabase and served via ArcSDE and ArcIMS to users in the city. The city with BAE SYSTEMS ADR customized Esri's water and wastewater data model, developed procedures and customized tools in ArcMap to standardize data entry and maintain utility networks. Using ArcSDE, the geodatabases with their domains and rules improved overall quality control and reduced the number and percentage of data entry errors, improved data validation. The data is interoperable with several CMMS packages that the City uses and may use. The result is that the maps are more accurate and interoperable, aiding in daily maintenance of the city's water, sewer stormwater, and road networks. The presentation will discuss the implementation process and illustrate the tools used and identify methods to facilitate long-term maintenance and interoperability.
