Green Bay Water Utility Migrates to ArcSDE Geodatabase
Track: Water, Wastewater, and Stormwater
Author(s): Jean Urbancic

The Green Bay Water Utility, Green Bay, Wisconsin, recently migrated their existing water utility data from an ArcInfo 7.x/BaySys platform to an ArcSDE geodatabase. This presentation will describe the need and resulting benefits of converting to an ArcSDE geodatabase, as well as the major aspects of the migration process which included system setup and configuration, using both the client and contractor servers for production in two locations, geodatabase design, data projection and rubber-sheeting to a newly acquired land fabric, the use of custom tools to create and load feature linked annotation, converting four years worth of mapping updates, updating attributes from valve and hydrant cards, hyper-linking scanned documents, complete QA/QC of the data, hosting of an ArcIMS and project web site, application development, ArcFM implementation, and client training. Water/Wastewater utilities interested in the new geodatabase model will learn important concepts for data migration and conversion in an ArcGIS environment.
