About the Program

Category: Information Technology (Best in Category)

Year: 2023

Resiliency Program staff for Miami Dade Water and Sewer (WASD), was tasked to analyze potential septic system vulnerability throughout the County and produce a report to the County, highlighting clusters of potential septic issues. Additionally, WASD staff needed a solution that facilitated collaboration with other County departments such Environmental Resource Management, for researching problem areas in a geographic platform to produce meaningful analytical results as quickly as possible without diminishing accuracy. The project involved creating a web solution in which collaborators use tools for delineating problem areas, creating reports, and selecting from custom queries for summary information within a study area that can be used by Resiliency staff as part of the mandated reports required by the County. Additionally, this process involved producing various derivative data that would feed the analysis, which required information from numerous data sources such as Parcel, Customer Care and Billing (customer information system), and Water and Sewer infrastructure data.
