Drinking Water Systems
Managing a Drinking Water system requires the allocation and manipulation
of a wide variety of resources throughout your service area. For
this reason, GIS is an ideal tool for being able to manage, maintain
and control all the various components under your control. With
a well organized and well managed GIS, a Drinking Water operator
can assess his system by individual components or comprehensively,
depending on his needs.
The beauty of GIS is that everything that is mapped contains data.
For example, the blue line representing a pipe segment is also tagged
with the diameter, date of installation, volume and direction of
flow, street it's under and the type of material it is made out
of.
The staff at Envision Geographics not only has the expertise in
GIS systems but also years of experience providing technical assistance
and regulation of drinking water systems. We thoroughly understand
the important work you do what assistance you could use to increase
you effectiveness.
Some common GIS layers for Drinking Water system management include
the following:
- Distribution System Mapping
- Water Pipes, Hydrants, Valves, Wells, Tanks, Pump Stations,
etc.
- Monitoring Data Mapping
- SOC, VOC, IOC, Bacteria, PCE, Lead & Copper, and everything
else DEP requires
- Cross Connection Device Mapping
- Billing Records
- Lead & Copper Sampling Location Mapping organized by Tier
I, II, and III locations
- PCE Pipe Locations
- Historical Break and Leak Locations
- Tie Card images
- Wellhead Protection Areas (I, II, A, B)
- Flushing Locations and Zones
- Display your water system on the same maps with other utility
data such Utility Poles, Gas Lines, Sewer Lines, etc.
