Sewer Outfall Pipes by Size

This pipe feature class represents current wastewater information of the mainline sewer in the City of Los Angeles. The Mapping and Land Records Division of the Bureau of Engineering, Department of Public Works provides the most rigorous geographic information of the storm drain system using a geometric network model, to ensure that its storm drains reflect current ground conditions. The conduits and inlets represent the storm drain infrastructure in the City of Los Angeles. Storm drain information is available on NavigateLA, a website hosted by the Bureau of Engineering, Department of Public Works.Associated information about the wastewater Pipe is entered into attributes. Principal attributes include:PIPE_SUBTYPE: pipe subtype is the principal field that describes various types of lines as either Airline, Force Main, Gravity, Siphon, or Special Lateral.For a complete list of attribute values, please refer to (TBA Wastewater data dictionary). Wastewater pipe lines layer was created in geographical information systems (GIS) software to display the location of sewer pipes. The pipe lines layer is a feature class in the LACityWastewaterData.gdb Geodatabase dataset. The layer consists of spatial data as a line feature class and attribute data for the features. The lines are entered manually based on wastewater sewer maps and BOE standard plans, and information about the lines is entered into attributes. The pipe lines are the main sewers constructed within the public right-of-way in the City of Los Angeles. The ends of line segments, of the pipe lines data, are coincident with the wastewater connectivity nodes, cleanout nodes, non-structures, and physical structures points data. Refer to those layers for more information. The wastewater pipe lines are inherited from a sewer spatial database originally created by the City's Wastewater program. The database was known as SIMMS, Sewer Inventory and Maintenance Management System. For the historical information of the wastewater pipe lines layer, refer to the metadata nested under the sections Data Quality Information, Lineage, Process Step section. Pipe information should only be added to the Wastewater Pipes layer if documentation exists, such as a wastewater map approved by the City Engineer. Sewers plans and specifications proposed under private development are reviewed and approved by Bureau of Engineering. The Department of Public Works, Bureau of Engineering's, Brown Book (current as of 2010) outlines standard specifications for public works construction. For more information on sewer materials and structures, look at the Bureau of Engineering Manual, Part F, Sewer Design, F 400 Sewer Materials and Structures section, and a copy can be viewed at [http://eng.lacity.org/techdocs/sewer-ma/f400.pdf]. List of Fields: STREET: This is the street name and street suffix on which the pipe is located. PIPE_LABEL: This attribute identifies the arc segment between two nodes, which represents the pipe segment. There could be any number of pipes between the same two maintenance holes and at least one. If there is more than one pipe between the same two maintenance holes, then a value other than 'A' is assigned to each pipe, such as the value 'B', 'C', and so on consecutively. Also, when a new pipe is constructed, some old pipes are not removed from the ground and the new pipe is added around the existing pipe. In this case, if the original pipe was assigned an 'A', the new pipe is assigned a 'B'. C_UP_INV: This is the calculated pipe upstream invert elevation value.
