NJMC District municipalities need to know the geographic locations of their infrastructure for both emergencies and for planning. This program helps the municipalities to create an online inventory of their existing utility infrastructure, from manholes to fire hydrants
Through this program, towns are able to go online to map and to view sewer and stormwater systems — including lines, catch basins, outfalls and manholes — in order to understand such key information as pipe diameter and flow direction before going into the field. The program is currently developing the datasets and the effective methods and tools needed to visualize these municipal assets.
NJMC staff is already mapping the manholes and the sewer and stormwater lines that they visit because of blockages or safety concerns as part of the current Municipal Assistance Program. District towns wishing to join in this program should contact Dom Elefante (201) 460-4669 or Dominador.Elefante@njmeadowlands.gov
