A Lack of GIS Context Slows Reviews and Complicates Asset Management
Water and wastewater teams are critical to keeping our communities running safely, maintaining critical water infrastructure, and protecting clean waterways that sustain community health. Their work is fundamentally spatial. Every decision depends on understanding how water moves across the land and how critical water, wastewater, and stormwater assets are placed on a site.

Without GIS-integrated plan review or connected field tools, reviewers are left stitching together information across PDFs, maps, and hand-drawn notes. Important details get missed, rework increases, and compliance becomes harder to maintain. These gaps compound risks over time, delaying approvals and increasing community frustration.


Lack of Spatial Context Hides Risk and Slows Reviews

  • Plans are reviewed without full awareness of nearby drainage systems, floodplains, or watershed impacts.
  • Reviewers must toggle between GIS maps and PDFs, wasting time and increasing the risk of missed conflicts.
  • Small grading or runoff errors discovered late cause costly redesigns and schedule delays.

Disconnected Reviews Increase Compliance and Audit Risk

  • Separate systems for plan review, permitting, and inspections make it hard to prove MS4 compliance.
  • Missing or outdated BMP documentation creates risk during state or federal audits.
  • Lack of consistent digital audit trails complicates enforcement and creates non-compliance exposure.

Manual, Disjointed Processes Complicate Field-to-Office Workflows

  • Field inspectors rely on printed plans and handwritten notes that must be re-entered later.
  • Photos and compliance evidence live on personal devices and are not linked to official plan records.
  • Limited mobile access prevents teams from verifying corrections or updates on-site in real time.

Limited Transparency Frustrates Applicants and Erodes Trust in the Process

  • Engineering consultants and developers can’t see where plans stand or who’s reviewing them.
  • Conflicting comments or missed markups result in unnecessary re-submittals and project delays.
The Result? Critical drainage and utility conflicts are caught late, compliance risks rise, and community growth slows down—forcing teams to react to issues instead of advancing resilient, well-managed water systems.
