Stormwater Utility GIS Tools Creating a GIS Extension to Manage Stormwater Utility Information and Billing System Integration
Agenda 1. Introduction 2. Scope of System 3. Application Vision 4. SUMS Design 5. Data Management and Migration 6. SUMS Development 7. SUMS Demonstration 8. SUMS Future Development
1. Introduction + Columbus background Regional utility, master meter communities 270,000 Customers/Serve over 1M in Central Ohio + Stormwater utility Existing situation Multiple applications separately managed AutoCAD, FoxPro, MS Access, Files: Spreadsheets, Document, etc. + Desired to Streamline the maintenance of information Be more compatible with City s ESRI Environment
2. Scope of System + Charges Stormwater Fee Only City of Columbus residents Clean Rivers Surcharge All Sewer Customers regardless of locality + Residential ERU 2000 sq ft, all residential billed 1ERU + Non-residential Actual measured impervious area
3. Application Vision + Integrated directly with CUBS (CIS) system + Esri GIS-based solution + Manage related information + Seamless editing, maintenance, and reporting environment + ArcInfo editing Only a handful of users Other potential access
3. Application Vision + Needs and Requirements Presently Ultimately Consider individual management of residential + Data Preparation AutoCAD + Verification of Existing Data LiDAR Automated feature extraction
4. SUMS Design + Functional requirements Big investment up front + Complexity of situations supported Master/Sub Condominiums Master meters + Scalable Residential could be added + Data model Logical and intuitive
4. SUMS Design + Deployment Desktop or Web? + Users Primarily Maintenance + Desktop extension + SDE deployment + Billing System Independent Universal/unique Adapt as environment changes
5. Data Management and Migration + Safe Software s FME Excellent CAD conversion + Account Types Land parcels vs. Premises 1:1, 1:M, N:M + Scripting Automated account creation + Validate, audit and improve the data LiDAR, CIR, Orthophotos Automated feature extraction Full review completed by team
6. SUMS Development PK UCBPREM CODE *AREA_IMPERV UCRSERV PK,FK1 PREM_CODE PK NUM *NUM_UNITS CISLink PK CISLinkID Credit Document ImperviousArea FK2 FK1 CISKey ERU SUMSID PK FK1 CreditID SUMSID PK FK1 DOCID SUMSID PK FK1 ImperviousID ParcelID SUMS Parcels PK SUMSID PK ParcelID FK1 SUMSID
6. SUMS Development + SUMS Table The glue that associates the key objects + CISLink Table CUBS = Columbus CIS Premise is the main billing feature Some accounts have multiple premises Need to assign partial ERU s to each Used to detect changes in CIS Allows user to synchronize between SUMS and CIS
6. SUMS Development
6. SUMS Development + SUMS Editing Toolbar + SUMS Management Toolbar + CAD Layer Management Toolbar
6. SUMS Development + SUMS Editing Toolbar + SUMS Management Toolbar Split feature Remove parcel from SUMS Group Assign Parcel to SUMS Group Remove impervious area from Parcel + CAD Layer Assign Management Impervious Area Toolbar to Parcel
6. SUMS Development SUMS Management + SUMS Editing Parcel Toolbar Search Parcel Information Premise Search Premise Information + SUMS Management Toolbar + CAD Layer Management Toolbar
6. SUMS Development + SUMS Editing Toolbar + SUMS Management Toolbar + CAD Layer Management Toolbar Turn all layers on Turn all layers off Turn off selected Display only selected Impervious only
7. SUMS Demonstration + Scenario #1: CAD Layer Management Assists in using data from CAD Source files Helps in transition from old system (AutoCAD) to new ArcGIS-based system Turn all layers on Turn all layers off Turn off selected Display only selected Impervious only
7. SUMS Demonstration + Scenario #2: Build new SUMS Group Assign impervious area to parcel Assign parcel to group Review parcel information
7. SUMS Demonstration + Scenario #3: Review and Enhance SUMS Group
7. SUMS Demonstration + Scenario #3: Review and Enhance SUMS Group Associate Customer Information System link Links tab and Premise tabs Add Credit to SUMS Group Add Document to SUMS Group Print SUMS Group exhibit
7. SUMS Demonstration
7. SUMS Demonstration Technical Details +.NET C# + CUBS (Oracle) Attached tables as ODBC connections + Impervious features Enterprise SDE + XML Configuration nothing hard-coded
8. SUMS Future Development + ArcGIS 10 Confirm full functionality + Residential accounts Consider management through SUMS + Editing toolbar Enhance with additional tools + Enhanced reporting + Web-based (view only) CSR: reduce calls to SW Utility Team Customers reduce calls to CSR s
