WDM Utility Atlas Map Now Available!


The WDM Utility Atlas is now online! The Atlas, which contains a City map with quadrant grids and grid details, identifies where the City’s fiber optics, sanitary sewer, and storm sewer are located. It is exciting to have this project completed, thanks to the City's Public Works CADD Technicians and the Information Services team. The Utility Atlas can be found at http://utility.wdm-ia.com. You can also find it on the Online Services tab on the City homepage.

Our partners in the construction environment and the various utilities have been asking for this service for a long time. It is fantastic that we can share this information with them, and with our residents, electronically. We expect that it will provide a benefit to the entire City because it will reduce costly repairs and, more importantly, minimize disruption of service to our community.

As a City, we are working to provide more and more Geographic Information Systems (GIS) elements to the public. This is an important first step towards that goal.
