GIS for Utilities… How can I use this in my job? Ron Householder, PLS

GIS is…. A powerful set of tools for collecting, sorting, retrieving at will, transforming, and displaying spatial data from the real world for a particular set of purposes Source Huxhold, An Intro to Urban GIS, 1991 quoting Borrugh

Organized collection of computer hardware, software, and geographic data designed to efficiently capture, store, integrate, update, manipulate, analyze, create, and display all forms of geographically referenced information. GIS is…. A GIS! HardcopyMap IDName 8Main Street Tabular Data

Accessible on large computer networks Only select few knew how to get information Costly Few Data Sources GIS Past...

Flexible – Network, Desktop, Laptop, PDA Easy of use; Incorporate into daily work flow Several free/low cost data sets to use GIS Today...

GIS is…. A Smart Map

Kinds of jobs that are performed at a Utility

Billing….  Print out bills  Water Usage  Water Shut offs for non payment

Maintenance  New Construction  Inspection of assets  Repairs of broken assets  Shut off service  Meter Change-out

Engineering  New Construction  Modeling

Customer Service  Complaints  Inform customers of new projects  Usage  Advisories

Other Data….  GPS Data  Video  Pictures  Field Inspection Reports  Remote Monitoring Data

Making it come together… To make the points, lines and polygons be intelligent, a common link has to be created
