Abstract

Given the tough economic environment, many water agencies are experiencing the challenge of maintaining constant level of service with fewer resources. One solution to combat this situation is through IT integration and automation. South Coast Water District has implemented mobile GIS solution with integrated media management system to allow operation crews to be just as effective as office staff. This presentation is an extension of previous talk of implementation of Underground Service Alert solution. Mobile solution for Valve Turning and Hydrant Flushing will be discussed as well as sharing the challenges and lessons learned for CMMS integration.
