GIS Services at the Facilities Management include an ongoing survey for the U of A utilities and infrastructure. The project started in the summer of 2003 and consists of surveying all the utilities on campus using a GPS grade unit. The collected data are used for creating a geo-database that includes the following features:

Sewer System: Sewer Manholes; Storm Water Management System: Storm Manholes, Culverts, Curbsides, Ditches, Outflows, Storm Grates, Water Meters; Fire Hydrants; Fire Stands; Utility Tunnels;
Light Poles; Senior Walk.

These features are being used within a GIS system in relation with other data for the campus to aid in developing a campus storm water management system.
