Abstract
 Implementing a Wastewater Geodatabase Solution--the Midwest Way Track: GIS Organization, Management and Implementation Author(s): Michael Zapior, Michael McGing, Michael Adornetto, Monica Day The Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District (NEORSD) is the regional agency responsible for wastewater treatment facilities and interceptor sewers in the greater Cleveland Metropolitan Area, serving more than 1.1 million customers. The system includes 4,800 miles of sewer lines and three major wastewater treatment plants. The system dates back to the early 1900s and includes many combined sewers and unique structures. In 2001, NEORSD embarked on the implementation of a multiphase, enterprise-wide GIS program to manage a comprehensive collection system database. The size, age, complexity, and uniqueness of the NEORSD infrastructure presented many data modeling challenges. The geodatabase needed to address ways to edit, maintain, and add to the collection system data. The geodatabase was designed as part of a multiphase project. Each phase refined the geodatabase to complement the district's desire to sustain the information. This paper describes the challenges and lessons learned in this endeavor.
