Escondido, CA Uses Cityworks And Esri's ArcGIS® For Its Asset Management System

Escondido, California, has been on a growth trajectory, having tripled the typical rate of development in the past few years.

The city currently distributes water services through 440 miles of 2- to 48-inch pipes to a population of over 150,000 residents and has 11 reservoir sites. Its water treatment plant treats local and imported sources to produce drinking water for its service area of 26,000 connections.

“You need to be able to manage all of that,” points out Rob Van De Hey, Escondido’s director of information systems and deputy city manager. “With new development, comes new infrastructure needs. That has the potential to impact existing aging infrastructure creating the need to monitor, adjust and balance the system. We need the tools and technology to do that.”
