Originally created by Claunch & Miller, Inc. (part of HDR Engineering as of 2008) in 2002, this file has been maintained in-house since then. Updates are provided through a combination of as-builts, field verifications, and word of mouth from employees who have worked on a particular feature.<\/SPAN><\/P>

Field breakdown: <\/SPAN><\/SPAN>POINT_ID [Valve ID] <\/SPAN><\/SPAN>contains the unique identifier for each valve, with the first digit references the fire district in which the valve is found. <\/SPAN>ASSETID [Asset ID] <\/SPAN>is the randomly assigned, unique identifier used by VUEWorks (Public Works' work order system)*. <\/SPAN>LID [Lid Condition]<\/SPAN><\/SPAN>uses the ValveLid domain to rate the condition of the valve<\/SPAN><\/SPAN>\u2019<\/SPAN><\/SPAN>s lid (note that this field has not been updated since the valves were originally entered). <\/SPAN><\/SPAN>PHYS_LOCA [Physical Location]<\/SPAN><\/SPAN>uses the ValveLocation domain to describe where the feature is located (e.g., street surface). <\/SPAN><\/SPAN>TYPE [Type]<\/SPAN>u<\/SPAN>ses the ValveType domain to denote the type of valve (e.g., gate valve). <\/SPAN><\/SPAN>OPEN_DIREC [Open Direction] <\/SPAN><\/SPAN>designates the direction (left or right) the valve must be turned to open it. <\/SPAN><\/SPAN>DIAMETER [Diameter (in)]<\/SPAN><\/SPAN>uses theWLineSize1 domain as a dropdown to record the diameter (in inches) of the valves. <\/SPAN><\/SPAN>POSITIONTYPE [Position Type] <\/SPAN><\/SPAN>categorizes the valves by their relation to other water infrastructure. The <\/SPAN><\/SPAN>GPS_DATE [GPS Date] <\/SPAN><\/SPAN>and <\/SPAN><\/SPAN>GPS_TIME [GPS Time]<\/SPAN><\/SPAN>fields contain information about when the feature was originally shot into the system. <\/SPAN>The <\/SPAN><\/SPAN>NORTHING [Northing (Y)]<\/SPAN><\/SPAN>, <\/SPAN><\/SPAN>EASTING [Easting (X)] Z [Elevation (Z)] <\/SPAN><\/SPAN>fields contain coordinate data. <\/SPAN><\/SPAN>DEPTH_HEIGHT<\/SPAN><\/SPAN>is the below or above Z, the surface elevation. <\/SPAN><\/SPAN>The following fields were populated by Data Transfer Solutions in 2017: <\/SPAN>IMAGE [Image]<\/SPAN><\/SPAN>contains the file name of a picture of the feature; <\/SPAN><\/SPAN>STREET [Street]<\/SPAN><\/SPAN>contains the name of the street on which the feature is located; <\/SPAN>CONDITION [Condition] <\/SPAN><\/SPAN>and <\/SPAN><\/SPAN>CONDITIONINDEX [Condition Index] <\/SPAN><\/SPAN>are condition ratings; and the <\/SPAN><\/SPAN>INSTALLYEAR [Installation Year] <\/SPAN><\/SPAN>and <\/SPAN><\/SPAN>CONMMENTS [Comments] <\/SPAN><\/SPAN>fields should be self-explanatory. <\/SPAN><\/P>

To derive the actual elevation of a feature = Z + <\/SPAN><\/SPAN>DEPTH_HEIGHT<\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>

All Z values are in feet. All Elevation data is Surface Elevation.<\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>

Due to VUEWorks, care must be taken when deleting features. The IDs cannot be reused and must be retired after a deletion. The retired IDs for this feature class are: 1681, 1700, 1735, 2240, 2241, 3781, 5292, and 6871. (The retired Valve IDs are: 10640, 10812, 10863, 10864, 11229, 50502, 50503, and unknown.)<\/SPAN><\/P>

* The reason for two different IDs is that VUEWorks uses randomly assigned IDs; it cannot handle IDs that have meaning.<\/SPAN><\/P><\/DIV><\/DIV><\/DIV>", "summary": "This file contains information about the water valves in The City of Galveston\u2019s water system.", "title": "Water Valves", "tags": [ "utilities", "water" ], "type": "", "typeKeywords": [], "thumbnail": "", "url": "", "minScale": 50000, "maxScale": 5000, "spatialReference": "", "accessInformation": "Claunch and Miller, Inc.\nCity of Galveston \nData Transfer Solutions", "licenseInfo": "
