GOAL: KEEPING THE NETWORKS UP-TO-DATE! WATER NETWORK WASTEWATER NETWORK

Why are we doing this? NPDES Permitting GASB 34 MNGWPD EPD Audit Checklist CMOM More…… Might want to expand on all these a little. Some the developers will be familiar with others they will not be.

Why Electronic As-Builts The “Best” Way More efficient than paper Review process can be automated Imports into GIS making data more timely Our Authority? Section 4.2.3, ~ C-4 of FC Subdivision Regulations Final Plat Remove Satellite; remove vertical bar

How did we develop the standard?

Modeled on CCWA Standard Already is proven and accepted Builds standardization in the Metro Area for development community to follow Other communities are also looking at this model

Defining the Standard

Work with Development Community Hold educational workshops for easy transition to new standard Make standards available online Have easy to use templates available Incentives 1) Sharing of GIS data (aerials, contours, etc.) 2) Increase approval turn-around time

County Staff Hold training workshops for County staff Have automated review system to reduce review errors and misunderstanding Have an appeal process if submission fails

About the Templates Created for basic & advanced CAD packages including AutoCAD, AutoCAD LT, TurboCAD, IntelliCAD and so on Includes DWG, DWS, DWT, & DXF Working on Microstation seed files & cell libraries
