The SSWD Preventive Maintenance Program Team (PM) inspected more than 48 fire hydrants and over 81 valves in May and made numerous repairs and improvements. The PM Team discovered a number of inoperable valves and fire hydrants, which are being scheduled for repair/replacement.

The PM Team will continue their work in June, updating infrastructure maps, expanding to large meter testing at well sites, and capturing Geographic Information System (GIS) Data for each asset in the DPMSA. GIS is an integrated hardware and software system that allows for the layering of different data sets. It is a vital tool for mapping water system infrastructure, and helps staff quickly locate assets in an emergency.
