Abstract
Creating a Water Utility GIS from the Aquifer Up
Track: Water Distribution, Wastewater, and Stormwater
Author(s): Robert Czaja, Sandy Elder, John Schiebold
Tucson Water is a water utility that maintains 190,000 service connections over an area of 375 square miles. Working together with Esri and EMA, Tucson Water is creating an enterprise GIS using ArcGIS and the geodatabase model. The GIS is being created by converting 1,500 atlas maps currently maintained using AutoCAD or paper. Integration with the utility's Maintenance Management System, Customer Information System, and Hydraulic Model are three essential requirements of the GIS project. This paper discusses the processes and procedures being used to help ensure successful completion of this project.
