Drain Connection Coordinate system: 4269 - "NAD83" Abstract: This data set is a point coverage that can be used to identify an artificial structure that allows water to move from one drainage feature to the next. This data set captures the location of drain connections that are part of drainage systems and describes the type of drain connection, construction, as well as the type of supplying or receiving feature. For example, a tile drainage area drains via a drain connection (i.e. a gravity outlet) into a constructed drain. Please note that this data set may contain features that were constructed prior to 1983. Use caution when interpreting data and results. Supplementary tables can be used and are available for download from the additional documentation section. Supplementary look-up table descriptions are available in the data description document, which is available for download from the additional documentation section.

  Purpose:

  Potential users and uses of the data include: 1) Tile drainage contractors - information on drain connections could be helpful in construction of adjoining sites. 2) Consultants/researchers - examination of natural and artificial drainage patterns. 3) Drain superintendents - locations of drain connection outlets into municipal drains could help prevent damage to these outlets when drains are being cleaned.
