The Honolulu Board of Water Supply (BWS) uses geographic information systems (GIS) to manage its water infrastructure data and provide services to over 500 employees. BWS' GIS program started in 1989 and maintains spatial data for over 160,000 service connections and 2,100 miles of pipelines. Key GIS applications include HONU for web mapping, MANO for mobile workforce management, and GISMO for work order integration. BWS shares data with the City/County and other agencies and is developing live data feeds. The GIS program supports asset management, field data collection, and enterprise mapping, analysis, and collaboration tools.
