GTS’s Mission Statement:
OUC’s Geographical Information System (GIS) will accurately represent the Commission’s Distribution/ Transmission systems, and provide mapping, database information and services for operations, engineering and other groups within OUC as well as their customers. The GIS will be a useful and reliable tool that can be efficiently updated, managed, viewed and interfaced with other Enterprise applications.
Water Distribution Crew rely on the GIS system maps to maintain and construct water pipes on Anderson Street and Division Avenue
GIS Technical Service Group continues to support Info Water hydraulic pipe model software along with performing day to day editing and maintaining
of the existing water distribution assets.
