Storm Pipes

This feature class represents current stormwater conduits within the City of Los Angeles. This conduit is used in conjunction with a pumping station. 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.For a complete list of attribute values, please refer to (TBA Stormwater data dictionary).<br /><br />Stormwater conduit lines layer was created in geographical information systems (GIS) software to display the location of stormwater drainage pipes. The layer consists of spatial data as line features and attribute data for the features. The lines are entered manually based on stormwater maps, and information about the lines is entered into attributes. The Stormwater Network dataset is a geometric network, with a collection of conduit lines and inlet points having a connectivity relationship. Thus, editing the location of an conduit line affects the location of the connected inlet point, and vice versa.  Conduit plans and specifications proposed under private development are reviewed and approved by City of Los Angeles, Department of Public Works, Bureau of Engineering.
