We've begun an extensive, 2.5-year project to map out 40,000 curb stop service valves across our service area with high-accuracy GPS. This initiative will help enhance our maintenance efficiency and emergency response times with precise locations of critical water infrastructure. Easily accessible valves reduce the guesswork due to overgrown landscapes, building renovations, and changes over time! Pictured below is PWD’s recent GIS Intern David DelVecchio testing a GPS receiver as he prepares to verify data points in the field. Learn more about this project and how we are improving our operations to serve you better here: https://lnkd.in/g8fz_FQH.
