City of Kingston, Ontario
Turnkey GIS Implementation
The City of Kingston is located in Eastern Ontario. The City comprises an area of 450 km2 and has a population of 117,207 with 53,838 private dwellings (2006 census) .

Hunter GIS provided comprehensive outsourcing and consulting services, including software, hardware, systems networking, data conversion, data integration, application development and technology transfer, for this multi-year Utility Enterprise GIS Implementation. Work for each major utility theme - gas, electrical, water and sewer, was conducted in stages with Stage I representing the conversion of all existing hard copy and digital documents as made available. Successive stages included linkage to corporate customer databases, exception identification, field inspections, scrubbing and complementary population of databases. The database generated for the former (old) City of Kingston form the basis of the new amalgamated City GIS.
This process was very successful at identifying unbilled service accounts which offset the cost of the work
Work also included modeling of the gas distribution system and support for electrical system restoration after a major ice storm.
