County launches water and wastewater infrastructure mapping effort
Summary
Commissioner Rafter described a consultant-led infrastructure mapping initiative to clarify water district boundaries, customer lists and eventually pipe and valve networks to improve planning and interagency coordination.
Commissioner Owen Rafter told legislators the county will launch a consultant-led infrastructure mapping initiative to inventory water districts, clarify boundaries and identify who receives service versus who falls inside a district boundary but does not receive service.
"When a water district is created, it has a boundary. But within that boundary, the properties may be in the district, but not customers," Rafter said, explaining that the project aims to reconcile legislative records, parcel data, assessor rolls and billing data so operators and planners share a single metadata standard. He said mapping physical infrastructure networks (pipes, valves) is more technically complex and is planned as a later workstream.
