Case Study: Adams County achieves simpler MS4 inspections with OpenGov Asset Management

Adams County simplifies MS4 inspections with OpenGov and cuts paperless tracking time after 2 weeks of field inspections

Adams County, CO faced a complex challenge in complying with annual MS4 outfall inspections required under the Clean Water Act. The process involved weeks of field work followed by extensive manual data compilation and paper-based record keeping, making it difficult to track and report on inspections from previous years. The county turned to OpenGov and its Enterprise Asset Management solution to streamline this process.

By implementing OpenGov's asset management system, Adams County configured a digital inspection process that integrated with its existing Esri maps, guiding inspectors directly to assets and eliminating paperwork. The solution automatically integrated inspection findings with asset records, enabling easy querying, reporting, and task assignment for repairs. OpenGov provided the county with automated record-keeping and reporting capabilities, putting all necessary compliance information at the staff's fingertips and significantly reducing administrative burdens.
