Create a financial vehicle to facilitate updates as they occur with new development

5. ESRI has developed a prototype water database format

6. ESRI model - Pump Attributes

7. ESRI model – Fittings

8. Process / manage data
ESRI has developed a prototype water database format
Modify existing database
Migrate existing data
Update data
Authenticate data
Publish data

10. Standardization Ordinances CADD standards
Provide revenue stream / methodology to obtain data as it changes
Implement methodology to merge CADD data
Authenticate all data updates

11. With CADD – sorting through all the layers is difficult
With CADD – sorting through all the layers is difficult! No storage of intelligence for the data itself

12. As Built drawings - Engineering precision, GIS problems

13. Conclusions Client desire to develop database Funding sources
Procedures to gather field changes and implement changes to database
Standard methods
Authenticate changes
Make data / training available to client for
use in planning and maintenance
