This will represent a major advancement forward in our mapping capabilities. However, it will also mean that our online mapping capability will be unavailable for the foreseeable future. A. Vitale and S. Cusick offered that this outage could last 1 – 3 months. Water & Sewer Atlas Redevelopment A. Vitale has been working with J.
