Configure Lead Service Line Inventory

Lead Service Line Inventory can be used to develop a lead service line inventory and monitor the replacement of service lines required to comply with the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Lead and Copper Rule Improvements.

The Lead Service Line Inventory solution can be configured to meet specific needs in your organization. The sections below outline some administrative tasks to update and manage the solution to fit your organization's needs.

Load Data

In some cases, you may need to load existing data into the solution before sharing the maps or applications. Review the maps or applications provided with the solution and determine what, if any, source data you want to load.

Note:

For ServiceLine layers with attachments and the Service Line Self-Assessment feature service, use the Data Loading toolset.

Load data from Lead Service Line Inventory v3.0 to v4.0 using Data Pipeline

The Lead Service Line Inventory solution includes an ArcGIS Data Pipelines pipeline that can be used to load service lines from version 3.0 of the ServiceLine feature layer to version 4.0.

To load service line data, complete the following steps:

  1. In a browser, sign in to your ArcGIS organization, and then browse to the Lead Service Line Inventory v3.0 to v4.0 Data Pipeline pipeline.
  2. Click Open in Data Pipelines.

    The data pipeline editor opens and you can edit your diagram.

  3. Click the input ServiceLine feature layer on the canvas.
  4. On the panel under Feature layer click ServiceLine.

    The item browser opens.

  5. In the item browser, find your ServiceLine feature layer from the 3.0 version of the solution, select ServiceLine from the Select Layer dropdown and click Confirm.
  6. On the canvas, click the Map fields option. In the panel, click Edit field mapping and ensure your fields are mapped correctly and make any necessary adjustments.
  7. Click Save on the editor toolbar.
  8. At the bottom of the pane, click Preview and review the data.
  9. On the action bar at the top of the canvas, click Run.

    The data pipeline is now running and the Latest run details console appears. Once the process is complete, the feature layer is shown on the Output Results tab and the features from the original layer have been loaded into the v4.0 ServiceLine feature layer.

Use the Data Loading toolset

The Data Loading toolset contains tools to streamline data loading from a source schema to a target schema. The tools help reduce the time and complexity of migrating to a new data schema.

  1. Open ArcGIS Pro.
  2. Click Tools in the Geoprocessing group on the Analysis tab of the ribbon.
