Snow could fall at any time as we move deeper into the fall/winter season. Therefore, we want to remind residents
GIS - Geographic Information System for the City of Nevada
In the early 2020s, the City of Nevada began working with its consulting engineers to develop a GIS system for the City. GIS technology integrates location data (where things are) with descriptive information (what things are like there), that helps City employees and the public visualize and analyze data in a geographic context. Prior to having this capability, knowledge of many underground elements within the City relied on physical maps and longtime employees who “just knew” where things were.
After much “ground work,” the City was ready in early 2026 to introduce these tools to the public.
ArcGIS Online
Utilizing the services of ArcGIS Online, City employees and those working on projects within the City are able to look at the following kinds of information to help make better decisions about the work being done and how it might impact existing infrastructure.
A. Utilities App – utilized to see the location of underground water mains, storm pipes, storm culverts, sanitary gravity mains, sanitary force mains, manholes and more.
B. Sanitary Utilities App – utilized to see underground pieces of the Sanitary Sewer System.
C. Sanitary Utilities Dashboard – a more in-depth look at the City’s Sanitary Sewer Gravity Main system. Did you know the City has 210,836.45 linear feet of main in its Sanitary Sewer system? (as of March 17, 2026)
D. Nevada Cemetery App – Residents have access to this program under the Cemetery Department page. It helps city workers see where all existing gravesites are located, measure distances between, etc.
E. Water Utilities App – a more in-depth look at the City’s Water Mains system.
F. Stormwater Utilities App – a more in-depth look at the City’s Storm Water Mains system.
G. Zoning Editing Application – a color-blocked map that outlines the City’s current zoning.Â
H. Water Utilities Dashboard – a more in-depth look at the City’s Water Utilities Main system. Did you know the City has 266,632.07 linear feet of main in its Water delivery system? (as of March 17, 2026)
I. Stormwater Utilities Dashboard – a more in-depth look at the City’s Stormwater Utilities Main system. Did you know the City has 154,777.87 linear feet of stormwater main? (as of March 17, 2026)
J. Nevada Tree Inventory – used to find out where trees are located in our community, and in some cases, the kinds of trees planted in each location.

Much of the City’s GIS system is available to the public.
