"We will definitely be using GPS and GIS technology into the future, I’m sure there are features and benefits of the Trimble handheld that we aren’t taking full advantage of yet. Our goal is to continue to find new ways to use this technology and to continually be more proactive at managing our land and our GIS database.”
The GeoXT handheld allows us to capture high-accuracy coordinates of photo sites which we then can bring into a 3-D software environment to clearly show how, for example, a new 10-story building would fit into its surrounding. By seeing the impact of developments before they’re built, people are empowered to make more informed decisions based on facts, not perceptions.”
"It’s far less expensive to trap pollutants at the catch basin than it is to separate them at the treatment plant."

“With this technology we'll be able to get a snapshot of the network at a particular point in time, whereas at the moment we can’t. It’s physically impossible to read every meter in a town at the same time Currently, meters are read every four months. That means a customer can have a leak for four months and won’t realize it until they get their next bill. This can result in customers paying for water they're not actually using."
“In order to provide the best service possible, our team determined that we needed a comprehensive, enterprise-wide Geographic Information System (GIS) of our power network comprised of one database and one data entry process, We also wanted to ensure that that system could be accessed through the web so all of our employees, and those in related public departments, could benefit.”
“Some of these septic systems date back 40-plus years and we needed a process for making sure they are maintained on a regular basis. This program and our GPS units have given us a better process for following up on outstanding issues and managing septic tank systems now and into the future.”
“When buying, selling, or adding on to a home, residents need to know what is buried underground. We felt an up-to-date septic system database was essential in protecting our rivers and streams and also in helping home owners and our team be more proactive.”
“We currently have more than 30 million mapped acres of crops in the FarmMaps database, for which we can create acreage reports, reports on the crop production each fall, claims packets, maps and more.”
