SEWER SYSTEM MAPPING

The Sanitary Sewer System Mapping project also plays a vital role in maintaining the infrastructure of DeKalb County.  The GPS / GIS / Data Management Department field locates, verifies, and surveys all of the sanitary sewer manholes, cleanouts, lift stations, etc. to create a highly accurate and comprehensive sanitary sewer system map.  All of the features of this map are accurate to the nearest centimeter.

The sanitary sewer system map is essential when planning future development as well as a valuable resource when natural disaster or other emergencies arise.  The sewer system map replaces 65 years of paper records and as-builts that are difficult to maintain and analyze.

The sanitary sewer system map is also built with modeling nodes in place.  This allows an easy integration into sewer modeling software so DeKalb County can plan for a bright future and continues to handle DeKalb’s wastewater in an environmentally conscious and effective way.
