City maintenance crews and Water <br />Engineering staff use this digital system to respond quickly to emergencies; collect, store, and <br />retrieve data; and to facilitate routine maintenance on water infrastructure assets in a paperless <br />environment. In addition, users are able to view water data via the Public Works Agency <br />Geographic Information System, facilitating data sharing and records research by other City <br />agencies. <br />On June 1, 2009, City Council awarded a contract to iWater, Inc., for digital water mapping <br />services, computer hardware configuration and installation, professional on -call services, and <br />system service support. On November 19, 2013, in recognition of the proprietary ownership of the <br />iWater software, Council approved an agreement expanding those services to include Global <br />Positioning System (GPS) data collection and processing, and computerized maintenance <br />management system integration. This new agreement will further expand upon the scope of work <br />to include large water meter vault location and data collection, enhanced GPS data collection and <br />processing, as well as continued professional on -call services, and system maintenance and <br />support. <br />These enhancements will improve the quality and accuracy of the digital water system maps, as <br />well as expand upon the existing data by cataloguing water meter vault locations and condition. <br />Additionally, the Water Resources Division will have improved access to information during normal <br />and emergency working environments. <br />25E -1 <br />
