GIS Setup and ArcGIS Solutions Deployment

In 2023, the City had only outdated, scattered, and incomplete paper-based information on their utilities. Esri’s ArcGIS Solutions were the answer to their problems.

To centralize, modernize, and update their utility information, the City obtained an ArcGIS Online subscription. Then the Water Distribution and Sewer Data Management Solutions were deployed, so the information could be captured and presented in an intuitive and meaningful way.

We collected utility assets in the field with Field Maps, which was used to update and integrate the information in their existing paper mapping and as-built plans. This way, their updated mapping was online for them in their own system from day one of the project.

The City’s next priorities were building a digital and online zoning map (with the zoning ordinance documents attached to their corresponding polygon for easy reference), and creating a map of cemetery burial plots. These were then pushed into public-version web maps; creating these public maps reduced the number of calls to City staff for common questions.

We provided training to the staff to maintain these maps and datasets themselves. We also continue to support them on miscellaneous on-call requests.
