topic Creating laterals in Water Utilities Questions https://community.esri.com/t5/water-utilities-questions/creating-laterals/m-p/378807#M770 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Is there a geoprocessing tool that would create a line from a point to the closest line?<BR />Here is my situation. I have about 14,000 meters in Service Connection layer and they were created by geocoding to an address point, then <BR />snapping that point to the front of the parcel. I would like to have a python script (or any other way you can suggest) to create a line from the<BR />meter point to the closest point on the closest water main. I realize that this can be done one at a time using the "Add Laterals at Connections"<BR />tool in the&nbsp; Water Utility Network Editing toolbar in ArcMap, however I do not know how to use this tool to perform this function on 14,000 meters at once.<BR />Thank you<BR />Katy </P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 09 Jun 2015 00:45:37 GMT KathleenWallis 2015-06-09T00:45:37Z Creating laterals https://community.esri.com/t5/water-utilities-questions/creating-laterals/m-p/378807#M770 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Is there a geoprocessing tool that would create a line from a point to the closest line?<BR />Here is my situation.
