How do you measure more than 3,000 miles of water pipes buried in the desert? The Las Vegas Valley Water District looks
to the skies for help.
In supplying water to more than 1.5 million people, the LVVWD operates 3,600 miles of pipes and tens of thousands of valves,
hydrants, meters and other equipment. To maintain and manage it, the water district uses a database of more than 100,000 digital
engineering records and drawings - a document store that grows steadily each year as new construction proliferates in the
Las Vegas Valley.
