UTILITY GIS WORKSHOP APRIL 4, 2001 SPONSORED BY SEMCOG
TODAYS AGENDA • SO YOU WANT TO BUILD A UTILITY GIS ? • LET’S SEE WHAT WORKS (and what does not) • WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH THE UTILITY GIS ?
WHAT IS THE GIS GOING TO BE USED FOR ? • MAPPING • Looks Good; Annotation • MODELING • Connectivity; Extended Attributes • ASSET MANAGEMENT • Feature Identifier; Costs • MAINTENANCE MANAGEMENT • Connectivity; Feature Identifier
MAPPING • Standard Maps for Community DPW • Title Blocks / Fonts / Symbols • Annotation / Text (Attributes) • Little or no Attributes in Database • Examples

Integration of GIS and Water Modeling Becky Cheadle, EIT
GIS / Water Model Integration • Water distribution model requires the following information: • Pipe diameters • Pipe ages • Pipe layout and intersections • Select ground elevations • Pipe material • Community zoning information • Extra information: • Project identification number
Information in Existing GIS Without a complete GIS there is extra time to complete the model and…….extra time = extra $$$$$$$ for clients
Hydrant Info from GIS Fire hydrant testing is necessary to calibrate the water model – with the use of the GIS we’re able to identify the exact location of the hydrants what size mains they are on and their ID number to be able to give the DPW a complete list to use during testing
GIS Import to H2ONet (con’t) Map GIS attribute table columns to H2ONet table descriptions
Summary • A complete GIS eases construction of a water model • Helpful to consider the necessary information for water models when initially building a GIS • Reduces time needed to gather information to populate model database and therefore reduces cost! • Extra information added to the water model can be exported to GIS to maintain a working system • Our Auburn Hills model is currently used by engineers to reference water mains for projects
