How Healthy is your Water Utility Data?


One of the most over-looked components in any GIS implementation is the accuracy of your data. This year at UC, we’re introducing 30-minute “health checks” where our water utility experts can perform a diagnostic on your data to help you assess its overall quality. Using the ArcGIS Data Reviewer extension, Esri staff will run various automated checks on your water, wastewater, and stormwater data in file or personal geodatabase format.
If you’re interested in having your data analyzed, stop by the Geodatabase Management island in the Esri Showcase. Our experts will be available between 9 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, July 12th and Wednesday, July 13th, and between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. on Thursday, July 14th.
To ensure an appointment for your “Health Check” you can schedule in advance by emailing datareviewer@esri.com with your name, organization, contact information, and preferred data and time.
