Water & Sewer Utilities

With mounting pressure on local governments to perform, water and sewer departments are becoming front-line participants. With regulatory pressure growing and infrastructure deteriorating, these organizations must meet the dual challenges of keeping customer happy and increasing operating efficiency.

Accurate and up-to-date information is critical in meeting these challenges. Because of the locational and spatial nature of so much of this information, GIS plays a prominent role in these utilities' IT infrastructure. While traditional information management was departmentalized, the emerging integrated information architecture requires that information be integrated and shared. GIS affords the ability to integrate maintenance management systems, customer information systems, and other information assets.

PlanGraphics' staff members have worked with many water and sewer utilities. As a result, they are uniquely qualified to assist not just in planning, but in the detailed, hands-on work of implementation that makes a project truly effective.

Whether your project calls for applications development and customization; stringent montoiring and quality control of data conversion; or on-site staffing and outsourcing of specific skill sets, PlanGraphics offers IT solutions that work.
