GMS (Global
Mapping Solutions) is still contracted by CCPPD to capture GPS (Global
Positioning System) information for all CCPPD electrical structures including
poles, meters and transformers. They will be working in the southeastern area
of the CCPPD service territory. This includes parts or complete townships of
St. Charles North & South, Sherman North & South, Cuming, Garfield,
Logan, Neligh in Cuming County, Pebble & Cuming in Dodge County and
Everett, Oakland, and Pershing in Burt County.
Cuming
County Public Power District is gathering all of this information for our GIS
(Geographic Information System) mapping system. This will allow us to use any
electronic device to view all of the equipment and locations of the equipment
in our entire system.
This
GIS system is tied into all CCPPD customer data, billing and accounting
software. This will allow the linemen to pinpoint the problem before going out
to repair an issue as well as helping them know exactly what material is
needed. For outages, it helps with planning for system improvements and shows
what customers are affected. For staking and planning, it allows for correct
quantities to be ordered and material needed prior to construction.
GMS
will be in the CCPPD service territory for several months completing their
work. They will have signs on their vehicles stating they are contracted by
CCPPD. We will notify customers by social media, the CCPPD website, press
releases, public postings, newspapers and radio on what sections they will work
on next. See the map below to view where they are currently working. Please
tune in to one of these platforms to stay informed.
If you have questions or concerns,
please contact us at 402-372-2463 or 877-572-2463.
