1. Using GIS for Utility Mapping and Asset Management Sanitary Sewer, Storm Sewer, and Water Distribution City of Mason City Jessy Willadsen - Mason City GIS Analyst

2. First Question: Why include utilities into your GIS? View information graphically. View different layers together. Store attribute information about features. Link features to scanned records. You only have to store the location of features once. 80-90% of data maintained by government has a spatial component.

6. Where do you start? Went to each department to evaluate what their GIS needs were. Features requested Attributes needed Potential use of data (use this for prioritization) Planned source to collect the features and what method will be used to create the data.

7. Needs Assessment What GIS layers should be created. What data will be needed to create these GIS layers. Where is this data located. Prioritize what GIS layers will be created first.

9. Creating data GPS Data collection: Collect features by GPS and import them into the GIS system. Aerial photography interpretation: Example, you can see manholes in the aerial photography. Measurements from known locations: Example: Measure water valve from the center of the road or from property corners.

10. Purchase of Survey Grade GPS In 2008, the City purchased survey grade GPS equipment. The Leica GPS 1200 unit utilizes the Iowa Real Time Network. Using a cellular modem, the GPS controller receives correction data from the internet in real time.

34. Water Distribution Evolution No Usable CAD files to import GPS collected valves and hydrants Draw mains using water book as reference. Used database as reference also which contained measurements from the center of the road and sidewalk.

40. Water Distribution Future Development/Ideas Maintain existing advancements. Migrate the microsoft access database to an enterprise database such as postgre. Scan service records for each water service and link to GIS. Continue GPS collecting Valves, Hydrants, and Water Cutoffs. Link service data to cutoffs.
