A storm drain lateral is the underground pipe that connects a residence or business to the storm drain main.Storm Drain Lateral connections were originally recorded as points on the property line, but in 2017 the points were changed to lines instead to accommodate new software. The lateral line begins at the same location on the property line where the existing point was, and then it is drawn straight out to the nearest main. The lines were automatically drawn by the computer, so the actual path of the lateral line from the property line to the storm drain main may differ.Data are updated by city staff as needed, and automatically copied to the Open Data Portal. The "Last Updated" date shown on our Open Data Portal refers to the last time the data schema was modified in the portal, or any changes were made to this description. We update our data through automated scripts which does not trigger the "last updated" date to change.Note: Attributes represent each field in a dataset, and some fields will contain information such as ID numbers. As a result some visualizations on the tabs on our Open Data page will not be relevant.

Named Waterbody is a 1:24,000-scale, polygon and line feature-based layer that includes all named waterbodies depicted on the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5 minute topographic quadrangle maps for the State of Connecticut. This layer only includes features located in Connecticut. Named Waterbody features include water, dams, flow connectors, aqueducts, canals, ditches, shorelines, and islands. The layer does not include the marsh areas, tidal flats, rocks, shoals, or channels typically shown on USGS 7.5 minute topographic quadrangle maps. However, the layer includes linear (flow) connector features that fill in gaps between river and stream features where water passes through marshes or underground through pipelines and tunnels. Note that connectors represent general pathways and do not represent the exact _location or orientation of actual underground pipelines, tunnels, aqueducts, etc. The Named Waterbody layer is comprised of polygon and line features. Polygon features represent areas of water for rivers, streams, brooks, reservoirs, lakes, ponds, bays, coves, and harbors. Polygon features also depict related information such as dams and islands. Line features represent single-line rivers and streams, flow connectors, aqueducts, canals, and ditches. Line features also enclose all polygon features in the form of shorelines, dams, and closure lines separating adjacent water features. The Named Waterbody layer is based on information from USGS topographic quadrangle maps published between 1969 and 1984 so it does not depict conditions at any one particular point in time. Also, the layer does not reflect recent changes with the course of streams or _location of shorelines impacted by natural events or changes in development since the time the USGS 7.5 minute topographic quadrangle maps were published. Attribute information is comprised of codes to identify waterbody features by type, cartographically represent (symbolize) waterbody features on a map, select waterbodies appropriate to display at different map scales, identify individual waterbodies on a map by name, and describe waterbody feature area and length. The names assigned to individual waterbodies are based on information published on the USGS 7.5 minute topographic quadrangle maps or other state and local maps. The Named Waterbody layer does not include bathymetric, stream gradient, water flow, water quality, or biological habitat information. Derived from the Hydrography layer, the Named Waterbody layer was originally published in 1999. The 2005 edition includes the same water features published in 1999, however some attribute information has been slightly modified and made easier to use. Also, the 2005 edition corrects previously undetected attribute coding errors and includes the flow connector features.

The Municipal Sanitary Sewer System, as represented in the Sanitary Sewer Network dataset for the City of Moorhead, encompasses a comprehensive infrastructure that efficiently manages the collection and transport of wastewater within the urban environment. This network comprises various essential elements designed to ensure the proper disposal and treatment of sanitary sewage generated by residential, commercial, and industrial activities. Below, we provide a more detailed description of these elements:1. Main Sewer Lines: These are the primary conduits within the sanitary sewer system, typically consisting of underground pipes of varying sizes and materials. Main sewer lines serve as the central channels through which wastewater flows from its source points to treatment facilities.2. Forcemains: Forcemains are specialized pressurized pipes within the system, typically used to transport wastewater against gravity, especially in areas with challenging topography or when pumping is required to overcome elevation differences.3. Manholes: Manholes are access points strategically located along the sewer network. They provide entry for maintenance crews to inspect, clean, and repair the sewer system. Manholes also serve as junctures where multiple sewer lines converge.4. Structures: Within the municipal sanitary sewer system, structures refer to various components that help manage and control the flow of wastewater. These may include diversion chambers, junction chambers, and other infrastructure designed to facilitate efficient sewage conveyance.5. Valves: Valves are crucial for regulating the flow of wastewater within the system. They allow for the isolation of specific sections of the sewer network, making maintenance and repairs more manageable. Valves also help control flow direction and prevent system overloads during heavy rainfall events.6. Other Major Components: This category encompasses a diverse range of elements necessary for the proper functioning of the sanitary sewer system. It may include items like backflow preventers, lift stations, monitoring equipment, and more, all of which contribute to the overall efficiency and reliability of the system.7. Flow Direction: The dataset includes symbology to indicate the direction of wastewater flow within the sewer network. Understanding flow direction is critical for system operators and maintenance personnel to ensure that sewage moves efficiently toward treatment facilities.In summary, the Municipal Sanitary Sewer System in the City of Moorhead is a complex and essential infrastructure network designed to collect, transport, and manage wastewater. It consists of a variety of components, including main sewer lines, forcemains, manholes, structures, valves, and other critical elements, all of which work together to safeguard public health and protect the environment by properly handling and treating sanitary sewage. The inclusion of flow direction symbology enhances the dataset's utility by providing valuable information for system management and maintenance.

The dataset is a Soil Corrosivity Map for the U.K. based on the BGS DIGMapGB-PLUS Map. The creation of this dataset involves scoring the Soil Parent Material types for five different attributes that contribute towards the corrosion of underground assets. These are (i) high or low soil pH, (ii) general soil moisture, (iii) the likelihood that soil saturated and undergo periods of anaerobic conditions, (iv) the presence of sulphides and sulphates and (v) the resistivity of the soil parent material. The scoring of each of these parameters was undertaken based on the Cast Iron Pipe Association (CIPA) (now the Ductile Iron Pipe Research Association, DIPRA) rating system. By combining the scores of each parameter a GIS layer has been created that identifies those areas that may provide a corrosive environment to underground cast iron assets. The final map has been classified into three categories signifying: 'GROUND CONDITIONS BENEATH TOPSOIL ARE UNLIKELY TO CAUSE CORROSION OF IRON', 'GROUND CONDITIONS BENEATH TOPSOIL MAY CAUSE CORROSION TO IRON', 'GROUND CONDITIONS BENEATH TOPSOIL ARE LIKELY TO CAUSE CORROSION TO IRON'. The dataset is designed to aid engineers and planners in the management of and maintenance of underground ferrous assets.
