| notes | This data shows Philadelphia Water Department Utility Assets. Its accuracy varies by location. Most of the data is accurate to +/- 1 ft based on the Construction As-Built Drawings it was digitized from. Some areas such as the Philadelphia Naval Business District (Navy Yard) or the Airport are not nearly as accurate as they were derived from other sources. These sources include but are not limited to: old navy construction documents, field surveys, various conflicting maps both digital and paper. The data took three years to create and it is maintained daily by PWD GIS UNIT. The new maintenance edits are of higher spatial accuracy as GPS equipment is available for field surveys. Query the edited_date field after May 2005 to see the newer edits.Data Development: The Inlets layer was constructed based on scanned water as-built and contract plans initially in 2005 and has been updated based on CAD as-built drawings on a daily basis. This layer is updated monthly.KEY ATTRIBUTE FIELDS: SYSTEM - Combined, sanitary or stormMONTHDAY_INSTALLED - Month and day installedYEAR_INSTALLED - Year installedOWNER - Ownership of inletINLETTYPE - Type of inletCOORDINATE SYSTEM: Lambert Conformal Conic, NAD 83, PA South Stateplane Coordinates, US FootTHEMATIC MAPPING: SYSTEM The Purpose of this data is to describe the asset both locationally and via its attributes which are extensive for a GIS dataset and which are maintained. This data will serve as a platform for planning, analysis and research at PWD. - Feature updated: 09/12 - Attributes updated: 09/12 - Metadata updated: 09/12 - Update Frequency: Monthly |
