Empowering utilities with data-driven insights, risk modeling, and proactive maintenance through advanced dashboards and field-to-office integration.


“GeoViewer 3.0 represents a transformational step forward in how water districts manage, assess, and protect their infrastructure assets.”

La Habra Heights County Water District (LHHCWD) has officially partnered with Nobel Systems to implement a comprehensive Geographic Information System (GIS) solution, marking a major milestone in the district’s journey toward digital transformation.
Introducing GeoViewer 3.0— our most powerful asset management system yet, designed to help water districts work smarter, faster, and more efficiently.

Nobel Systems is proud to announce the launch of GeoViewer 3.0, the latest generation of its powerful Asset Management System designed to help water districts gain deeper visibility, streamline operations, and make informed, data-driven decisions. Building on more than three decades of expertise in smart mapping and cloud-based GIS solutions, GeoViewer 3.0 introduces a suite of new dashboards, inspection cycles, preventative maintenance workflows, and risk-of-failure models that elevate utility management to the next level.


As communities face aging infrastructure, increasing regulatory pressures, and rising expectations for transparency, GeoViewer 3.0 offers water districts a reliable, scalable, and intuitive system to modernize asset oversight and optimize the entire lifecycle of their infrastructure.


Understanding Asset Management for Water Districts

Asset management is the backbone of reliable water service. Utilities must not only track thousands of assets—valves, hydrants, mains, meters, pumps, tanks, and treatment facilities—but also understand their condition, performance, and risk of failure. Traditional paper-based or standalone systems make this increasingly difficult, often leading to incomplete data, reactive maintenance, and inefficiencies.


GeoViewer 3.0 brings all asset data into one centralized, cloud-based platform. By combining field inspections, spatial analysis, real-time updates, and reporting, the system enables water districts to:

  • Identify water loss and recurring problem areas

  • Improve visibility across infrastructure systems

  • Support preventative maintenance programs

  • Comply with regulatory requirements

  • Allocate resources strategically and efficiently


Today’s water districts face rising operational costs, aging infrastructure, and increasing public service expectations. GeoViewer 3.0 addresses these challenges with an intelligent, simplified, and scalable approach.

 

Core Benefits of Managing Assets with GeoViewer 3.0

“GeoViewer 3.0 turns complex utility data into clear, actionable insights; accessible to every user, from field crews to district managers.”

GeoViewer 3.0 is designed to help water districts transition from reactive maintenance to proactive, strategic management. Through advanced dashboards, mobile tools, and intelligent models, utilities can:


Identify Water Loss More Effectively

With real-time mapping and asset condition visibility, staff can quickly pinpoint leaks, pressure drops, recurring failures, and areas where unaccounted-for water may be occurring.


Reduce Operational Risks

Risk scores and risk-of-failure dashboards provide early warnings for vulnerable assets, helping teams prioritize repairs before costly breakdowns occur.


Streamline Workflows Across Departments

Whether in the office or in the field, teams have access to the same accurate data—speeding up communication, inspections, and reporting.


Enhance Preventive Maintenance Programs

Automated inspection cycles, daily due tasks, and asset scanning capabilities ensure nothing is overlooked and all maintenance work follows a structured schedule.


Support Better Long-Term Planning

Districts can use historical performance data to forecast repairs, plan budgets, and justify capital improvement projects effectively.


Improve Customer Service and Transparency

Accurate, up-to-date maps and reports empower utilities to respond faster and maintain a consistent standard of service to their communities.


GeoViewer 3.0 is more than a software upgrade—it is a long-term digital strategy for water districts seeking operational excellence.

  

New Features in GeoViewer 3.0

Enhanced Dashboards

GeoViewer 3.0 dashboards are fully interactive, customizable, and designed for rapid decision-making. Users can filter, drill down, and export reports with ease, ensuring information is accessible at every organizational level.


GeoViewer 3.0’s new dashboards give water districts a quick, visual snapshot of their system—showing inspection counts, progress, and collected assets on the left, while the live map on the right pinpoints exactly where each asset is in the field.

Inspection Cycle → Preventive Maintenance Integration

GeoViewer 3.0 connects inspection workflows directly to maintenance planning. When an inspection is submitted, the system automatically generates follow-up tasks based on condition, urgency, or district-specific rules.


This ensures consistent maintenance, eliminates overlooked assets, and provides a documented trail of compliance.


Scan Assets Tool

Field staff can scan asset labels to instantly access:

  • Full asset history

  • Latest inspection data

  • Pending maintenance tasks

  • Photos, notes, and documents


This reduces manual entry, accelerates fieldwork, and improves data accuracy.


GeoViewer 3.0’s Scan Assets tool instantly visualizes all collected assets—displaying counts by type in a dynamic chart while mapping their exact field locations—making it easier for water districts to verify inventory, track asset distribution, and maintain accurate system records.

Risk Scoring & Failure Probability Tools

The system’s built-in risk formulas can be tailored to local conditions. By automatically calculating the likelihood and consequence of failure, GeoViewer 3.0 allows districts to plan rehabilitation and replacements strategically rather than reactively.


GeoViewer 3.0’s Risk Condition Score provides a real-time breakdown of asset health—showing how many assets are in excellent, good, or poor condition, along with detailed risk factors to help water districts prioritize maintenance and reduce system failures.

Building a Smarter, More Resilient Water Infrastructure

“GeoViewer 3.0 is more than an upgrade— it is a smarter, more connected approach to asset management.”

With powerful dashboards, automated inspection cycles, risk modeling, and mobile tools, GeoViewer 3.0 enables water districts to operate efficiently, improve service delivery, and make informed, data-backed decisions. It shifts utilities from reactive to proactive management, helping them protect infrastructure investments and improve long-term sustainability.


As challenges such as aging systems, budget constraints, and regulatory requirements grow more complex, GeoViewer 3.0 ensures that water districts are equipped with the tools they need to maintain safe, reliable, and resilient services.


Nobel Systems remains committed to supporting utilities through continuous innovation, expert support, and solutions that evolve with the needs of the communities they serve.
