Understanding the map

The Connections estimator map is composed of three main areas:

• map: displays an overhead map with coloured lines displaying an indicative availability of water, recycled water, sewerage and fire connections including the approximate location of water meters.
• map navigation controls: use the controls to zoom in and out, toggle between street map or satellite views, reset the map orientation, enter a full screen view, share your map results or download a copy of your map view.
• additional tools: extra tools to explore the map include;
  • Find address: address search field
  • Choose services: list of connection services to select including a legend to explain what type of pipe the coloured lines refer to
  • Measure distance: a measuring tool to measure distance
  • List View: a list view of your search results if you are having trouble reading the map.

You can reveal or hide additional information by clicking on the arrow at the bottom of the pane.

Using the map

The map helps you to find the approximate location of our water, wastewater, recycled water, and fire service mains and water meter points.

The map begins as a view over Adelaide CBD and by default, the map will only display locations of water mains and meter points. To display sewerage, recycled water, and fire service pipes, use the ‘Choose services’ tab on the top left of the map and select the services you would like to display.

1. Compass: The compass points due north. Clicking it will reset the map orientation back to due north.
2. Zoom: Zoom in and out.
3. Full Screen: Increase the size of the map to a full screen view. To exit from this view, click the button again “Exit fullscreen’ or press ‘esc’ key on your keyboard.
4. Download: The download button captures a screen shot of your map view. This can be saved as a jpg file.
5. Share: The share button generates an email enabling you to share your map search result via an email link.

Navigation:

When using a computer, move around the map by clicking and dragging with your mouse or touchpad. You can also zoom using the scroll wheel on your mouse or the scroll function on your touchpad.

If you are using a mobile device, move around the map by touching and dragging. You can also zoom by using two fingers in a pinching gesture.

Search for an address

The search field uses a predictive address finder and will attempt to provide address options for you to select as you type.

Click the magnifying glass icon or press ‘enter’ to execute your search.

The map will locate your address and drop a red location pin at the destination.

Choosing which services the map displays

By default, the map will display the approximate location of drinking water mains and their associated meter connection.

Using the "Choose services" option, you can also view sewerage, fire services, and recycled water mains by selecting or deselecting the checkboxes next to each service.

Each type of connection service is represented by a different coloured line.

• Drinking water – blue line
• Sewerage – green line
• Recycled water – purple line
• Fire Service – red line
• Drinking water meter points are represented with a blue ‘M’

List view

The map’s “List view” provides users with a text alternative for their map results.

Clicking on the “List view” tab will let you know if a service may be

• Connected to the location you searched.
• In the vicinity of the location you searched.
• Unable to be identified for the location you searched.

You can toggle back to the map view by clicking on the “Map view” tab.

Measure distance

The “Measure distance” option enables you to measure the distance between two points on the map or the area of a property.

Measure the distance between two points

To measure the distance between two points, select the “Measure distance” tool and click on the map where you want to start your measurement; this will drop a red pin at your starting point.

Move the measuring tool to the end point of your measurement (a red line will show you where you are measuring). To stop measuring, double click/tap. This will drop the final pin and complete the measurement.

The distance you are measuring is recorded on the left in the Measure distance pane.

You can continue your measurement and measure around corners by clicking once and continuing to measure from the second point.

Click 'clear' to reset the measurement and measure a new distance.
