2004 UC Proceedings Abstract
 Implementation of a Utility GIS Through the Intranet Track: Water, Wastewater, and Stormwater Author(s): Lance Babbitt, Peter Godfrey Jr In 1999, the Lehigh County Authority, a water and wastewater utility located in Allentown, PA, initiated a study to determine the benefits of a GIS. After the assembly of a Needs Assessment and Implementation Plan, a conversion pilot and application prototype exercise, the full conversion of all assets into a geodatabase, this past year LCA implemented its enterprise-wide GIS through a Web browser. The configuration is defined by the geodatabase stored in Microsoft SQL Server, ArcSDE, and ArcIMS on the desktop. This paper will discuss the GIS environment specifications and configuration, management of both geodatabase and shapefile formatted data, and lessons learned during the implementation. Of particular importance will be a focus on critical aspects of the implementation involving data back-up, modifications of map documents, imports of shapefiles into the geodatabase format, and user documentation for management of all aspects of the applications.
