EFS GeoTechnologies is excited to see our technology being shared with the public. EFS has been working with Craighead County and the City of Jonesboro, Arkansas for several years.  This year they decided that along with Aerial Photography they wanted to start working with our EDGE GIS to make their GIS data available to City and County users the instant it is created or updated.  The article below is from the Jonesboro Sun Newspaper.  To see the Craighead County EDGE public viewer go to www.efsedge.com/craighead.

Deteriorating Water System: Where Do I Start?Leak1

Upon election the Mayor of Monticello, Allen Maxwell, quickly realized the issue he inherited with a deteriorating water system.  For many years Monticello Water Department Employees were tasked daily with patching the leaking water system.  Mayor Maxwell envisioned a system where he could quickly and easily visualize where the water leaks were occurring so he could make a case for the replacement of the old deteriorating pipes.  Through a partnership with a local GIS company, EFS GeoTechnologies, the two entities began developing the system below. The Monticello Water Repairs database was developed with the EFS’ EDGE GIS.  EDGE allows for quick, easy visualization and analysis of the water leak locations mapped by Monticello Water Department Employees using EFS’ EDGE for Field Data Collectors solution.  This allowed the visualization of the data for replacement of pipes instead of patching and ultimately led to making a case for the replacement of Monticello’s old water system.
