Municipality Online is an Internet-based mapping service for Prince Edward Island communities. The service is accessible through an Internet connection and has been designed to be a rich source of information. It will enable municipal administrators, council and other staff to view important community data in the office, at council meetings, or from their home.
COMMON ISSUES AND CHALLENGES FACING MUNICIPALITIES:
Not having one comprehensive map of sewer and water lines;
Keeping zoning maps up to date;
Keeping utility mapping current;
Not being able to show sewer and water lines in context of zoning and aerial photos to aid in committee and council decision making;
Inability to provide residents and/or developers with consistent, up to date information;
Limited access to information;
Not having the technical support or software in-house to do this type of work; and
Not having the time and resources required to implement this new technology.
The easy-to-use service is designed to keep track of all municipal infrastructure placement (water and sewer), keep track of new and current additions, and keep zoning maps current. Municipality Online will aid a community and its leaders in making well-informed, timely decisions and will also save money for the municipality.
