Data Management
Data management is crucial for the effective identification and replacement of lead water service lines, as it allows for the creation of a comprehensive inventory of lead service lines, effective implementation of resident notification, the tracking of progress and completion of replacement efforts, and the monitoring of water quality after replacement, ultimately leading to safer drinking water for communities.
Challenges
When managing the status of each water service line, frequently communities are faced with incomplete or inaccurate data, limited historical records and resources, and feel underequipped with available technology. Oftentimes, communities view data management as over complicated, time-consuming and even expensive.
B&W Solutions
No two communities are alike and Baxter & Woodman’s Spatial Technology team understands that data management is not a one-size fits all. Whether a community is equipped with a Geographic Information System (GIS) or not, our team uses the power of Esri ArcGIS Tools to manage a variety of information for each water service line, streamlining each key step in your Lead Service Line Replacement Program:
- Water Service Line Material Inventory
- Public Water Service Material Web-Map
- Lead Service Line Replacement Plans (mapping requirements)
- Public Notification Tracking
- Lead Service Line Replacements & Required Construction Documentation
