About the Service:
Expect issues with the feature service. The Map Service performs better at this time due to know bugs and issues with Portal 10.9.

The abandoned water device layer is a point feature class that contains information about devices that are still on the ground but not in use within the water distribution system of the City of Houston, Texas.
The locations and attributes of the abandoned Water Pipe dataset are digitized from the Plan and Profile Engineering drawings that come from the following sources: Block Map, As-Built, Field Verified with Control Number, Taps and Meters, Metro, Field Verified Fire Department, Field Verified Fire Line, Construction Drawing (Layer), Fire Department, and Capital Improvement Project.
The GIS Services Group of Houston Water, Houston Public Works currently stores and maintains the dataset in a Relational Database Management System.

METRORail Lines was created using METMap. METRO's street centerline map is a version of Star*Map as created and maintained by the Geographic Data Committee of the Houston-Galveston Area Council. The METRORail Main-Fannin Corridor heading South from Downtown Houston was created as a centerline between the existing tracks as shown on January 2010 Aerial Photography. The North, East End and Southeast Corridors were created as a centerline track reprsentation as drawn over January 2010 aerial photography using engineering drawings and field work. These lines are under construction and are not depicted on the aerial photography.
Bus routes are color coded by frequency:
Red - Frequent all day service (Goal every 15 minutes or less)
Blue - Frequent Peak service, less frequent non-peak service (15 minute peak, 30 minutes or less non peak)
Green - Less frequent all day service (31 plus minutes all day)
Orange - Frequent peak express serice, less frequent non peak express service (15 minute peak, 30 minutes or less non peak)

Ponding areas associated with the overland drainage analysis. These areas do not represent actual ponding from a given storm, but the minimum depth of ponding required to produce overland flow when a storm sewer is absent or rainfall is above the storm sewer's designed capacity. Based on the 2008 LIDAR data.
