Health department to map septic systems in ESRI using grant-funded WTH data
Summary
Dubois County Health Department will move property record cards and property data into an ESRI mapping system using WTH mapping data and grant funds to create a septic system layer; the board approved the transfer unanimously.
Health Administrative Director Shawn Werner and WTH consultant Shawn Scott asked the commissioners to approve the use of WTH mapping data with an ESRI program to create a septic system layer for the Health Department. Werner said a grant will cover the expenses. The board approved moving property record cards and property data to the ESRI mapping system to assist with septic systems, and the motion carried unanimously.
Commissioners and staff said the GIS layer is intended to centralize records and help identify properties served by septic systems for planning and public-health response. No dollar amount for the grant was provided in the transcript.
