Utility Network model for reclaimed water?

[Joshua-Young]

Which existing utility network model lends itself to being adapted for reclaimed water? Is there any benefit to trying to fit our reclaimed water system into one of the existing models or would it be better to use the new Utility Network Migration toolset for now?

@Joshua-Young Thanks for the post!

A good place to start may be the use case. As in this graphic, there are several.

Depending on the use case, you may start with one of the existing solutions listed below. There are tools and documentation around making model changes, as needed.

• Reclaimed Water Data Management
• Water Utility Network Foundation
• Sewer Utility Network Foundation
• Stormwater Utility Network Foundation

I think for the time being I am going to move our reclaimed water into the schema of the Reclaimed Water Data Management solution and then use the Utility Network Migration toolset to turn that into a basic utility network until an official Esri reclaimed water utility network model is released.

Thank you for the information.
