The Metropolitan Sewer District has one of the most aggressive user programs among the consortium participants. Staff in seven different departments has been trained in the use of LOJIC. Several major applications have been written for use by untrained staff, furthering the daily use of the system. In addition, MSD has taken a strong position in outsourcing application development to external engineering and consulting firms. This has helped grow local GIS capabilities within the community, and expanded the overall user base of LOJIC.
- The Stormwater Revenue Impervious Area Measurement System (SRIAMS) is a semi-automated application designed to measure impervious surfaces on commercial and industrial parcels within MSD’s Drainage Service Area. The application is designed to assist MSD Revenue staff in assessing accurate drainage fees for commercial and industrial properties. The application was developed by Skees Engineering of Louisville.
- The Flood Determination Application is used by the MSD Stormwater Division to respond the nearly 300 weekly requests from the public for floodplain determinations as a means of verifying the need for flood insurance. This application is a menu-driven tool that allows rapid determination of a given property’s proximity to the floodplain, generation of a letter of reply and a reference map that are provided to the property owner.
- The Drainage Complaint Work Order Map application allows a user to identify a parcel by address, owner, or parcel ID number; displays ownership and political district information about that property from two different databases; and then allows the user to select one of three graphic outputs in standard 11"x17" format showing the parcel centered in plan and topo base data, floodplain data, or at a larger scale for field work and notation.
- The MSD Board Map application is a graphical interface that is used to produce an 8 1/2"x 11" map used for presentation in all capital and mini-project Board packages. The application allows the user to enter project and management information and select a pre-set scale. It also allows the user to select overlays from a list of 23 different PTD layers.
- LOJIC staff developed the Sewer Conversion Production Area Selection application, which was used to define production areas based on the calculated length of street centerlines, intersected with the MSD service area boundary, and overlaid with the MSD sewer atlas grid. This application simplified production area definition, and facilitated amazingly accurate conversion mileage calculations.
- The Sewer Facilities Conversion Project outsourced development of query, maintenance and map generation applications specifically designed to take advantage of the dynamic linkage inherent in the IMS/GIS data model used in the sewer conversion project. Hansen Information Technologies designed IMSARC, their commercial GIS application product, directly from specifications generated from the sewer conversion requirements.
- The Customer Response System (CRS) is an ArcView application used primarily by MSD Customer Service staff to query, display and report status of service requests and generate standard maps of specific problem sites. Users may query by address, property owner name, service request number and status to provide reference information for customer calls. The CRS also contains detailed databases of current/planned MSD projects that may be reported by political and administrative districts.
- The Political Reporting Application, a menu-driven ArcInfo application, creates maps and charts about complaints received by MSD within political districts in Jefferson County. This maps and chart as well as letters are sent to the political representative of these districts on a quarterly basis, keeping them informed about possible problems in their district in a meaningful and easy to understand way.
