West Virginia Infrastructure and Jobs Development Council (IJDC)◦ Created by the West Virginia Legislature
in 1994◦ Clearing house for State and Federal
Funds for water and wastewater projects◦ Established a revolving loan fund◦ Authorized to issue revenue bonds◦ The Legislation requires an update every
3 years
West Virginia Water Development Authority (WDA)◦ Provides loan processing and
administration to West Virginia’s water and wastewater projects

PROJECT OVERVIEW Enhance the funding process for public
utility projects◦ More projects to construction quicker
Develop financial tools to assist in effective utilization of funds for utility projects
Collect information and mapping for utilities in West Virginia◦ Create a Geographic Information System
(GIS) to assist in identifying areas in the state which are served, unserved, or underserved

DATA COLLECTION Over 600 water, sewer, and storm
sewer regulated utilities Developed a process to collect data and
mapping Two Primary Sources◦ Retrieved electronic data from online
sources and State Agencies◦ Contacted utilities to collect data and
mapping for systems

DATA COLLECTION CONTINUED Mapping provided in different forms◦ GIS◦ Record Drawings◦ Highlighted on USGS Quad or County
Highway Map◦ Drawn on a napkin

DATA COLLECTION CONTINUED Mapping collection items consisted of:◦ Served Area◦ Service Area◦ Office Location◦ Treatment Plant Location◦ Master Meter Locations
Mapping was loaded to GIS Completed maps were sent to utility
operators for review

DATA COLLECTION CONTINUED 95% of al utilities with over 500
customers have been collected and mapped.◦ Quality Control Maps have been sent to
utilities. Most utilities with less than 500
customers have been collected and mapped.◦ Quality Control Maps have been sent to
utilities. Still Chasing Stragglers

GIS TASK OVERVIEW Data will be assembled and
implemented in a central GIS data environment
A series of WebGIS applications will be developed to support data access
Sustainable policies and procedures will be developed
Manage physical location of data Camp, Dresser McKee will provide
support throughout duration of this project
