GIS

Using GIS (Geographical Information Systems) technology, metal detection, and manhole-to-manhole cameras, Wyoming Valley Sanitary Authority (WVSA) is able to locate municipal assets, such as manholes, diversion chambers, sewer pipes, drain pipes, valves and pump stations. Employing GIS technology also helps WVSA maintain access to assets that may be secluded, paved, or covered by debris and vegetation. Identified asset locations are added to a map, enabling WVSA to use remote digital maintenance management. In addition, WVSA uses GIS technology for storm sewer mapping in support of its Regional Stormwater Management Program.
