Commerce Township

The SAW grants have been awarded across several communities in the Detroit Metro area and have allowed communities with no previous GIS data or asset management system to update their technology and to organize their city asset data under one system. Commerce Township, in Oakland County Michigan, is in the first stages of SAW grant management. The GIS team has worked to obtain preliminary data to be used for asset inventory needs estimation. This includes reviewing data provided by Oakland County for accuracy and completeness, bringing attribute information associated with sanitary network as up to date as possible under an established data model, and creating preliminary map products for township officials and engineers to visually understand the scope of work.
