At its April 21 meeting, Nassau Suffolk Water Commissioners’ Association hosted a presentation on GIS for Water Suppliers by Christopher Kobos, Director of GIS Services for H2M Architects and Engineers. Mr. Kobos shared how Geographic Information Systems can provide a number of benefits and efficiencies for water districts, including improving customer service, increasing productivity, supporting regulatory compliance, providing better record keeping, and visualizing trends in complex information.

“Streamlining district operations is always important, and the response to this presentation was overwhelmingly beneficial to our members,” said NSWCA President Michael Mazzola. “Some members were able to share their own experiences utilizing the system, and others were able to ask specific questions on its benefits and implementation. We thank Mr. Kobos for his time.”
