Introduction to Sewer Utility Network Foundation

Sewer Utility Network Foundation can be used to accelerate sewer utility network implementations.

Sewer utilities must provide safe and efficient wastewater management services to the communities they serve. This includes conveying wastewater through a network of pipes, manholes, pumps, and other equipment. To maintain a reliable and safe network, utilities must have an accurate representation of their assets and how they are connected. This knowledge can decrease sewer overflows and increase network reliability.

The first, and most critical, step a utility must take to manage its network is to create an inventory of its sewer assets. A sewer utility cannot effectively manage their network and plan improvements unless they know what and where their assets are. Representing that asset inventory as a utility network provides a richer understanding of connectivity.

The Sewer Utility Network Foundation enables you to configure a utility network as either a separate sewer system or a combined sewer system. Separate sewer systems carry only wastewater while combined sewers can carry both wastewater and stormwater through the same network.

Information products

Sewer Utility Network Foundation includes the following information products:

Item	Description	Minimum user type
Sewer Utility Network Essentials	A zipped file with an ArcGIS Pro project package, asset type map, style files, sample data and an essentials asset package geodatabase that supports a separate sewer system.	Professional
Combined Sewer Utility Network Essentials	A zipped file with an ArcGIS Pro project package, asset type map, style files, sample data and an essentials asset package geodatabase that supports a combined sewer system.	Professional
Sewer Utility Network Expanded	A zipped file with an ArcGIS Pro project package, asset type map, style files, sample data and an expanded asset package geodatabase that supports both combined and separate sewer systems.	Professional

When you deploy this solution in your ArcGIS organization, you also get a solution item that organizes the key information products and summarizes all the ArcGIS items (applications, forms, projects, maps, feature layers, feature layer views, and so on) included with the solution. The solution item also illustrates any dependencies items have on each other.

Release notes

The following are the release notes:

Version	Description
3.0	The Sewer Utility Network Foundation now supports combined sewer systems. The Sewer Expanded data model includes the following changes: Combined sewer features and capabilities have been added to the model to represent combined sewer systems. A configuration file that modifies the asset package to represent separate sewer system has been included. Cathodic Protection Traceability and P:Device Status network attributes have been added as inline to improve performance. Generate Asset ID and Symbol Rotation attribute rules have been removed; Template Attribute Rules are now recommended because they offer greater user customizability. New attribute rules have been added using ArcGIS Data Reviewer. These new rules replace previous custom Arcade attribute rules. Flow Valve has been renamed Check Valve to align with other models. Controllable Valve has been renamed System Valve to align with other models. The Sewer Essentials data model includes the following changes: Dropshaft has been added to the SewerJunction feature class to properly model dropshafts. Asset group and asset type codes have been aligned with the Sewer Expanded model for easier expandability. Upstream and downstream elevation network attributes have been removed because the Sewer Essential model doesn't support full 3D. New attribute rules have been added using ArcGIS Data Reviewer. These new rules replace previous custom Arcade attribute rules. The following general updates have been made: The solution now includes Combined Sewer Utility Network Essentials, which provides a fundamental schema to help model combined sewer systems. The Utility Data Management Support (UDMS) toolbox has been removed from the solution and can now be downloaded from the GitHub page. Data dictionaries have been removed from the solution and are now available through the Data dictionary links provided earlier in this topic.
2.2	A data migration tutorial was added which includes sample data to guide users through the workflows. The Utility Data Management Support toolbox has been updated to version 3.3.2. The Create Simple Data Mapping tool had the following changes: A new option has been added that includes all target classes in the workbook to support mapping source data to target classes not controlled by the utility network. Notes were added to the Data Mapping workbook header columns to provide inline help. The C_ tables from the asset package are exposed as targets for data mapping to support mapping data to the controller and association tables. A new worksheet was added to the Data Mapping workbook to support creating associations related records (via spatial or relationship class) as part of the Create Migration Workspace process. The Source Types and Data Loading Mapping table were added to the Data Mapping workbook to provide a single file that stores all required details for Create Simple Data Mapping and Create Migration Workspace. A info worksheet was added to the Data Mapping workbook to provide information about each of the worksheets. A new tool, Convert Subtypes to Classes, has been added to create a class for each subtype in the input class. A new tool, Combine Classes, has been added to merge a series of classes into a single class that combines domains and fields. A new parameter, Output Geodatabase Name, was added to the Summarize Utility Network Errors tool.
2.1	The following updates have been made to the Utility Data Management Support toolbox version 3.3.1: An issue was resolved with the Simple Data Mapping tool that was caused by running the tool in a cloned python environment. A new option to generate a terminal pop-up was added to the Configure UN Layers tool to visualize terminal information. A new tool was added called Copy Fields and Domains From Mapping which uses the Data Mapping workbook to copy fields from the source workspace to the target asset package.
2.0	The solution now includes the Sewer Utility Network Essentials ArcGIS Pro project with a fundamental schema. The Sewer Utility Network Foundation ArcGIS Pro project has been renamed to Sewer Utility Network Expanded. The Utility Data Management Support toolbox has been updated to support ArcGIS Pro 3.3. The Sewer Utility Network Expanded asset package now includes the following enhancements: Editor tracking fields have been updated for consistency across solutions. Subnetwork summaries and associated fields have been removed to improve performance. The CP Only category has been removed from Anodes. The domain values for the Lifecycle_Status, Lifecycle_Combined, and Construction_Status domains have been updated for consistency between Utility Network foundations. Laterals and CP features have been removed from aggregate lines to reduce the complexity of the aggregated geometry and increase performance. The operable field assignment has been changed to accommodate appropriate devices. Domain has been removed from normalstatus and presentstatus for Relief Valve and Flow Valve on SewerDevice because they are not operable valves.
1.2	A new Utility Data Management Support toolbox to support ArcGIS Pro 2.9 and ArcGIS Pro 3.1. Revised Condition Barriers in subnetwork definitions. Changed S:Activate Value Network Attribute to be Nullable. Changed SewerDevice activevol field to allow null values. Changed SewerDevice presentstatus field to allow null values.
1.1	Name changed from Sewer Data Management for ArcGIS Enterprise to Sewer Utility Network Foundation.
1.0	The first release of Sewer Data Management for ArcGIS Enterprise The data model in the solution has been updated to version 4. For a full list of updates, refer to the change log.
