ArcGIS ® drives water service analysis. You need to understand problems before attempting to solve them. Water engineers, treatment plant and system operators, and water authority administrators can easily use ArcGIS spatial analysis tools. ArcGIS not only maps assets, but it also broadens operational awareness by integrating customer, climate, and other datasets with your agency's own data. Explore a variety of geospatial data and transform it into actionable intelligence. Use maps, charts, and tables that characterize your infrastructure, measure asset performance, depict maintenance activities, and visualize the risk of asset failure. Lehigh County Authority uses Insights for ArcGIS to identify patterns and trends by looking deeper into data collected during fire hydrant flushing. Staff reviewed flow data from hydrants to identify areas where recorded flows were below the desirable PSI. Low-flow areas were then evaluated in conjunction with water mains, revealing that some low flows were within new construction areas. By performing this comparison, staff were able to identify areas that should be prioritized for leak investigation. This resulted in saved labor by mobilizing teams and equipment in focused areas of concern.
