The Utilities Data Content Standard specifies the names, definitions, and domains for utility system components that can be geospatially depicted as feature types and their non-graphical attributes. It supports large-scale, intra-city applications such as engineering and life cycle maintenance of utility systems. The components of each utility system described in this Utilities Standard are considered to represent features located outside the foundation of an enclosed structure. This Utilities Standard describes eleven feature classes: compressed air, electrical distribution, electrical monitoring/control, fuel distribution, heating/cooling systems, industrial waste, natural gas distribution, saltwater, storm drainage collection, wastewater collection, and water distribution. The Utilities Data Content Standard was developed through the FGDC Facilities Working Group (http://corpsgeo1.usace.army.mil/FGDC/welcome.html ), chaired by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The FGDC endorsed the Utilities Data Content Standard after it had completed all steps of the FGDC standards approval process (http://www.fgdc.gov/standards).
