6. In the Beginning… Utility Management System began 1996. Utilized outside sources for design. Water utility mapping in March 1997. Sanitary mapping in August 1997. Personnel turnover in fall of 1997.

7. Water / Sewer Phase

8. Getting Started System Analysis Know what your users need… A user is the best person to identify a clear set of requirements. In order to define a system, a users terms, definitions, and interpretations must be known.

9. Getting Started Meetings – to determine the users needs Models – to determine attributes and vocabulary

17. Data Entry /Collection Majority of features collected with GPS. Created copies of all valve cards, hydrant cards, miscellaneous info. Ran several check plots and compared to old mylar system sets. Mapping began in all areas of the city. Utilities were not completed in one area/section before moving onto the other.

19. Check Plots

20. GPS and Engineering Plans GPS along with good engineering plans will make your input much easier. Wausau had plans scanned by Master Graphics.

21. Discrepancies

22. …what is the hold up!?

23. There is a demand for immediate and accurate utility mapping in many cities.

24. Maintenance Reports Updating your GIS Fire Flow Tests Maintenance – ie. New O-Rings place in Hydrant or a packed water valve

26. Stormwater System Management

27. What Path Do I Take?

28. Software Choices AML based stormwater management? Geodatabase stormwater management? The choice for Geodatabase based on: –The need to remove reliance of custom aml programming. –Flexibility and functionality of ArcMap editing tools. –The need for speed. –The need for a long term solution.

33. Developing Unified Modeling Language (UML) created in Microsoft Visio Geodatabase generated in Arc Catalog Existing Arc Info point coverages imported into database

34. Main line subsystem class

35. Document Link Table The feature-document relationships are many to many. So you can use the same record for several features.

38. Utilize GPS (Trimble Pathfinder Pro) with a data dictionary. Begin in a quarter section and stay with it until finished. Preferably a section near the city limits. These tend to be newer subdivisions and will have the necessary plans. Run check plots and let the people in the field scrub for errors. Lessons Learned

39. Conclusion Both OS’s have been stable Performance -Arc Macro Language - Slow -Object oriented programming – Fast Next phase… –Convert water and sanitary to a geodatabase –Provide the data via ArcIms
