Explanation
The Department of Public Utilities entered into a contract with Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. for Geographic Information System (GIS) Sewer Lateral Data Conversion Services for the Division of Sewerage and Drainage, which was authorized by ordinance 2520-2013. The intent of this project is to use existing sewer permits to create a sewer lateral layer for the GIS which will provide more analytical capabilities for the GIS, as well as create a more efficient method for displaying the sewer permits via the GIS which is not currently available. This project supports the directives of the Department of Public Utilities Technology Master Plan dated August 2004.
