Abstract
Utilizing ArcGIS, Hansen, and Cues to Manage Storm Water System Track: Water, Wastewater, and Stormwater Author(s): Ray Steiger, Xiaoning Jiang The city of Kirkland, Washington, established its storm water utility in 1998 and began to provide funding to the City's newly formed enterprise GIS. The major emphasis was on highly accurate survey, cadastral, and orthophotographic layers using the ArcGIS platform. A collaborative effort between GIS office and utility field personnel developed highly accurate field maps with correspondingly accurate metadata. Centrally maintained maps are updated on a frequency that supports an additional element of the city's technology--maintenance management software. In 2000, the city selected Hansen as its maintenance management platform. Information gathered through field mapping for storm water was used to populate Hansen records. The final element of the storm water inventory management has been the utilization of CUES software with the 2004 purchase of the city's first video truck. This element allows storm water utility personnel to record, analyze, and store video and condition information consistent with the Hansen and ArcGIS database.
