• Enterprise Geographical Information System (GIS) - DC WASA's GIS is a valuable tool that enables employees to look-up information, via the intranet, on our infrastructure; e.g., the exact location of the infrastructure, corresponding street and premise data. This saves time as employees can locate buildings, roads, sidewalks, parks, and assist our field crews and others in locating infrastructure assets. In FY 2009, DC WASA's vision, leadership, and innovative use of ESRl's geographic information system (GIS) technology was recognized by being awarded the Special Achievement in GIS Award from ESRI. DC WASA was selected from more than 300,000 organizations worldwide and recognized for making extraordinary contributions to our global society. In FY 2009, we completed the Water Network Data conversion project and published a first version of this comprehensive dataset for use by our work crews and DC Fire and Emergency Medical Services. We also improved the overall integration of the FEMS Mobile Fire Hydrant Inspection in the business processes to reduce the amount of manual work required to capture, dispatch and track the repairs identified by the survey. In FY 2010, the focus will be to have more customer facing applications leveraging the information collected in our online systems. • Impervious Surface Area Charge System (lACS) - In May 2009, we successfully went live with the lACS, which provided the tools required to determine the amount of impervious area on individual properties. Premise spatial data derived from implementing lACS also allowed us to perform an independent propagation study for the Automated Meter Reading System (AMR) upgrade project resulting in substantial cost saving. In the future, the system will allow us to support new map-centric dashboards for AMR, route-planning tools to help reduce fuel costs, and many other business processes with respect to organization efficiency. Enterprise Records and Document Management System (ERDMS) -In FY 2009, we continued enterprise-wide implementation of Knowledge Link with Document Libraries for eight additional groups. The 24 hour, 7 days a week accessible and searchable online Document Libraries enable quick and easy search and retrieval of records, as well as protecting the safety, security and integrity of the loaded documents. The FY 2009 projects included: • Customer Service Library for Call Center Lead Service Replacement files and Collections files • Biosolids Program Documents Library to assist the Biosolids Division in meeting the rigorous document control requirements of their third party Environmental Management System Certification • Risk Management Library for Workers Compensation, Property/Auto/Liability (PAL), Rolling Owner-Controlled Insurance Program (ROCIP) Workers Compensation, ROCIP General Liability, Insurance Policies, Reports, and General Documents • Fleet Management Library for Title and Registration, Acquisition Information, Work Order and Miscellaneous documents for Vehicles, Carts, Small Equipment and Non-tag Inventory Units managed by the Fleet Department • Safety and Security Library for documents related to the Comprehensive Safety Program, the Comprehensive Security Program, Emergency Management and Response, Investigations, and Hazard Communications • Performance Measures Library for documents related to the Board Strategic Plan, Performance Measures Communications and Departmental and Enterprise Scorecards Budget Overview and Performance II - 10

Water Quality Library, to be deployed shortly, includes documents such as Consumer Confidence Reports, Plumbing Surveys, Lead Profiles, Disinfection/Disinfectants Byproducts Rule (DBPR), Total Coliform Rule (TCR), and various other Water Quality reports and documents • Government Relations Library, in the final stages of development, for documents such as Budget and Appropriations, Legislation, Issues and Initiatives In FY 2010, we plan to continue enterprise-wide implementation of Knowledge Link with the deployment of new departmental projects, such as Water/Sewer service maps. Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) - In FY 2007, the Authority embarked an initiative to replace its 20 year old SCADA. Our main objectives were to address reliability concerns, improve operational efficiency and securing sensitive data. In FY 2009 we have successfully completed the upgrade of the legacy system with the state-of-the-art SCADA solution. The Authority can control and monitor all remote nodes without compromising security while having the added benefit of sharing information between various users of the data. The architecture is highly secure, fault tolerant for real time transmission of command and control data. In FY 2010, we plan to continue with the integration of SCADA system with facilities coming online as part of the capital improvement program. Information Security Program - In FY 2009, we completed a comprehensive Risk Management process for the identification, analysis, and management of business risk according to information asset value. The Information Security Strategic Plan (2009- 2013) was developed to define the Authority's long-term plan for improving its security posture to meet the challenges of evolving technology and the changing threat landscape. Safeguards for the Authority's new SCADA system are almost complete to ensure system reliability and protection of our critical assets. This effort will continue as the system continues to expand to meet new business challenges, including controlled information sharing with other DC WASA business systems. We have developed a Security Awareness and Education Program to ensure users are an active and integral part of our Information Security Program. Field Service Management System (Mobile Computing) - In FY 2008, we successfully deployed a mobile solution for hydrant inspections for DC Federal Emergency Management Services (FEMS). Based on the lessons learned in this project and experiences throughout FY 2009, we will be designing similar applications for the Department of Water Services crews for various core service groups such as the valve crews and the hydrant crews. In 2010, we plan to extend our pilot program to deploy the existing GIS viewer. In addition, we intend to deploy TEAMS-Maximo to the field staff in support of Water Services and Sewer Services investigation, maintenance and repair operations. This will help DC WASA capture information regarding work on the infrastructure more timely and more accurately and will provide critical data to the field so that personnel can make more informed and better decisions regarding the work. Also, field captured data will provide more complete information to office staff for trending and analysis. Budget Overview and Performance II - 11
