Create a new valve

The editing tools included with Water Geometric Network Editing and Analysis can be used to add a new system valve, curb stop valve, or control valve. Optionally, the construction tool Add Point and Split Intersecting Line can be used to split the main.

To create a new valve, 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 a water control valve, water curb stop valve, or water system valve editing template.
  4. Before adding the new valve, select the Add Point and Split Intersecting Line construction tool in order to split the main. To control splitting behavior and how IDs will be assigned to the split main, see the Splitting lines workflow.
  5. Add the new valve. When created, attributes will be populated based on the template.
  6. Save your edits and end the editing session.
