Edgecombe County, North Carolina, likes to be known for its charm,
hospitality, and environmental stewardship. A few years ago, the state
informed the county that the freshwater aquifer was drying up. To
better safeguard the water supply, Edgecombe economic developers
set their sights on attracting environmentally friendly companies that
would not pollute the freshwater aquifer. That motivation led to a
$40 million engineering and construction project that will eventually
replace the entire water and wastewater system in the 505-square-mile
county. Using mobile GIS, the county decided to map the entire water/
wastewater infrastructure, both old and new, and have this database
reside inside the county’s existing GIS.
