Nobel was awarded the GIS implementation project for the Water and Sewer facilities by the East Valley Water District (“District”). District provides retail water to a service area of 28.5 square miles and for a population of approx. 65,000 residents.

The District’s vision for GIS as covered in the GIS Strategic Plan of 2008 is to increase the efficiency of it’s engineering and operations functions. The GIS implementation will improve customer service, meet competitive challenges, and achieve key performance levels established by key stakeholders.

The scope of work includes scanning of the entire Atlas and Asbuilt sheets, creating a document inventory system, design the Water and Sewer Data Base Design UML Model and finally perform the GIS Data Conversion as the first step towards the implementation of the District’s GIS vision. Data Conversion will not only create a current, accurate, attributed and complete dataset, but will also provide connectivity to various databases and systems that the District in the future wishes to implement and provide a digital topologically sound geometric network. GIS will be a great tool for the District in seeing advancements in Data Quality (regular updates, accuracy, completeness, accessibility, usability and maintainability), Planning, Operations and Safety, Construction, Design, Analysis and Reporting.
