Create a manhole and main

A custom construction tool can be used to create a new manhole and connect to the closest manhole by adding a sewer gravity main.

To create a manhole and connect to closest with a main, complete the following steps:

  1. Open the Water Geometric Network Editing and Analysis map.
  2. Start a new editing session and open the Create Features editing window.
  3. Select the Manhole and Connect to Closest sewer manhole editing template.
  4. Add the new manhole to the map. A new main and attribute information will be generated automatically to connect this manhole with the closest exiting manhole feature.
  5. If you require the new manhole be connected to a different manhole than the closest, select the manhole to connect to and hold the shift key before placing the new manhole.
  6. Save your edits and end the editing session.
