The Swiss Sanitation System
Background
Wastewater treatment is a capital intensive municipal service. The goal of the project is to perform a systematic analysis of the costs, the condition and the investment needs of the wastewater sector.
Current status
In the first phase of the project a suitable data model was developed and implemented (ArcGIS). Relevant geographical and census data were gathered and included in the database. The kantonal water boards supplied us with information about the catchment area of their wastewater treat-ment plants, so that we now can allocate the individual community within a catchment area.
All communities were categorized so that the data acquisition in the next phase can be planned in a statistically relevant way. The project was finished in Summer 2006.
