Abstract

A Change Is Gonna Come – Continual Asset Management through GIS
Track: Water, Wastewater, and Stormwater
Authors: Bentley Chan, Cliff Parker, Jeff Owen

Identifying the need for a more proactive approach in managing their horizontal and vertical assets, the Department of Public Utilities sought to develop a streamlined, targeted, and unified process, supported by GIS architecture, to maintain and upgrade its infrastructure. This was an effort to bring increased intelligence to decision-making, aligning dollars to data, to guide effective stewardship and improved sustainability of a water and sanitary sewer system.
