GIS empowers utilities to build on the system information they have, to better operate their systems - and ultimately, to better serve their customers. </p> <p> Utilities can leverage GIS to link databases of critical infrastructure information to physical locations, such as customer addresses or surveying coordinates. A water utility, for instance, can link billing or work order information to its customer meter locations. </p> </td> </tr> </table> <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5"> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top"> <p> Developing a utility GIS typically involves two project phases: </p> <h3>Collecting GPS Field Data</h3> <p> Field crews use global position satellite (GPS) technology to determine the exact coordinates of field features, such as fire hydrants or manholes. This data is downloaded to a computer, post-processed for increased accuracy, and then imported into the GIS software package. </p> <h3>Developing the GIS Databases</h3> <p> In the office, GIS technicians use record drawings and system schematics to  connect the dots between the point features surveyed in the field. The GIS databases are also populated with other information about the utility infrastructure, such as pipe diameters and materials; maintenance records; and naming conventions. </p> </td> <td valign="top"> <img src="images/brochurepics/gis/HPIM0424.gif" /> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </div> <div id="leftcol"> <div class="text"> <img src="images/titles/gis_mapping_title.gif" border="0"> </div> </div> </div> <div id="maincontainer" style="padding: 0px"> </div> <div id="footer"> <div id="footermenu"> </div> <div id="footertext"> Copyright 2006-2008 Civil Systems Incorporated<br/> ESRI trademarks used herein by license from ESRI. </div> </div> <script type="text/javascript"> var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ?
