Magna Water District GIS Services

Over nine years, Ardurra transformed Magna Water and Sewer District's fragmented infrastructure documentation into a comprehensive, integrated GIS platform. The district required modernization of legacy AutoCAD drawings, paper maps, and survey records to support efficient asset management across three separate water systems.

Key Accomplishments:

• Digitized and integrated 326 as-built documents, creating a unified database of 26,388 culinary water features, 22,756 sewer features, and 5,026 secondary water features

• Developed custom web-based GIS applications for each water system, providing desktop browser access to detailed asset attributes and linked as-built PDFs

• Deployed mobile field solutions using ESRI Field Maps and Survey 123, enabling real-time asset identification, verification, and data collection by district crews

• Established automated workflows connecting field edits through mobile devices to management approval and database updates, with progress tracking via an online GIS Dashboard

• Delivered ongoing in-person and virtual training programs with comprehensive documentation for field and office personnel, supporting seamless onboarding and system adoption

The integrated GIS platform revolutionized Magna Water District's infrastructure management capabilities, replacing manual paper-based processes with real-time digital workflows. District employees gained immediate field access to critical asset information while maintaining data accuracy through streamlined update procedures. This system provides the operational foundation for effective long-term infrastructure planning and maintenance across the district's expanding service area.
