Ensure reliable delivery
Water utilities operate most effectively when asset data, maintenance workflows, and operational systems are connected.
Quartic helps municipal, private, and regional water agencies modernize GIS, establish authoritative infrastructure data, and streamline how information flows from the field to decision-makers.
Water and wastewater utilities must maintain reliable service, respond quickly to issues in the field, and plan for aging infrastructure—all while meeting regulatory and reporting requirements. GIS plays a critical role in supporting these efforts.
Below are the most common GIS challenges we see across water and wastewater operations, and how partnering with Quartic helps utilities reduce risk, improve efficiency, and make better decisions.
Inconsistent or outdated data makes it hard to locate valves, mains, hydrants, and service connections quickly and accurately. Field response slows and maintenance planning becomes difficult. Gaps in asset data increase operational risk, eroding confidence in system records.

When GIS, work management systems, and field inspection workflows aren’t connected, updates from the field are delayed or lost. Asset changes may not be reflected in GIS, leading to inaccurate maps, repeated site visits, and inconsistent records across systems. These breakdowns increase operational costs and slow service restoration.

Many utilities rely on small GIS teams that must support daily operations, maintain infrastructure data, and manage system improvements. When internal capacity is limited, data maintenance falls behind, system upgrades are delayed, and critical projects compete for attention.

Outdated GIS platforms can limit how utilities manage, edit, and share infrastructure data. Poor performance, limited multi-user editing capabilities, and disconnected systems make it difficult to keep data current as field conditions change. These limitations slow work orders, complicate coordination between departments, and increase reliance on paper maps or informal processes.

Real projects, real results. Here's how teams like yours are solving complex challenges with smarter location intelligence.
The City of San Diego’s Public Utilities Department (PUD) serves more than 2.3 million wastewater customers and provides drinking water to 1.4 million residents. The department manages a vast infrastructure network, including nine reservoirs, three water treatment plants, three wastewater treatment plants, 131 pump stations, and over 6,300 miles of pipelines. To support day-to-day operations, thousands of city…
As organizations expand their GIS environments and rely more heavily on web maps, services, field mobility, and integrated systems, performance challenges can surface in ways that are hard to predict and even harder to diagnose. ArcGIS Monitor offers a means to see what’s happening “behind the curtain” by continuously tracking system health, resource usage, service responsiveness, and system bottlenecks; it enables observability for ArcGIS Enterprise deployments. …
Vallecitos Water District faced a common but pressing challenge: their legacy GIS system, built on Esri’s soon-to-be-retired Geometric Network model, couldn’t keep up with the demands of modern water utility operations. With Esri encouraging migration to its new Utility Network framework, Vallecitos needed to upgrade — but without disrupting essential daily workflows. They turned to…
