DistrictWorks puts your district’s stormwater infrastructure on one map: current condition, inspection history, and a 20-year capital forecast your board can actually use. Built by Colorado stormwater engineers.
The inventory lives in a decade of project files, a consultant’s file drawer, and one long-tenured board member’s memory. Nobody has the full picture.
Inspections happen, but the records are scattered across PDFs and email threads. Nobody can pull up a facility’s history without an archaeology project.
The board finds out about a $180,000 pond rehab when it’s already urgent. No reserve planning, no warning, just a special assessment conversation nobody wanted.
Every detention pond, outfall, inlet, and storm line plotted over aerial imagery with a color-coded condition marker. Click any asset and see its type, age, replacement cost, and full inspection history. If your district has GIS shapefiles, import them directly. If everything lives in spreadsheets, we’ll load it for you.
Field mode sorts your assets by inspection priority, then walks you through each one: tap a condition rating, snap photos (GPS location captured automatically), and save. The asset record, the map marker, and the capital forecast all update the moment the inspection is logged. No transcribing notes back at the office.
DistrictWorks projects replacement and maintenance spend for every asset across a 20-year horizon, then draws your reserve balance against it. You see the funding gap years before it becomes a crisis. Each number traces back to the asset’s condition, age, and lifecycle profile. No black boxes.
A print-ready report with the asset inventory, condition summary, capital forecast, and recommended maintenance. Save it as a PDF for the board packet or export the tables to Excel. Board members can also get read-only logins and look at the live data themselves.
Generic asset software applies national averages. DistrictWorks uses lifecycle profiles calibrated to Front Range conditions: expansive clay soils, freeze-thaw cycles, and intense summer storms. Every service life and maintenance interval is set and reviewed by a Colorado PE, and every forecast can be traced back to the data behind it. When your board asks “where did this number come from,” there’s an answer.
Your district accepted these facilities from the developer years ago. DistrictWorks gives you the defensible inventory, inspection record, and capital plan that acceptance implied.
Building a district asset inventory →When the auditor asks for your post-construction facility records, the answer is a filtered export, not a week of digging. Inventory, inspections, and photos in one place.
Asset management for MS4 programs →That detention pond behind the clubhouse is the association’s legal responsibility. Know its condition, its inspection history, and what the reserve fund should be carrying for it.
Why your pond is the board’s liability →Back Eddy Engineering spends its days inspecting stormwater facilities and managing compliance programs along the Front Range. DistrictWorks exists because we kept watching the same failure: good districts with no usable record of what they own, blindsided by replacement costs their engineer saw coming years earlier.
The big asset management platforms are built for cities with GIS departments and six-figure software budgets. Your district needs the same answers without the enterprise overhead. That’s the product we built.
It also pairs naturally with our consulting. If you want Back Eddy performing your inspections, the records land directly in your DistrictWorks account. If your own staff does the inspections, the software guides them through it. Either way, your data is yours.
Annual subscription based on the number of assets your organization manages. No per-user fees, so your board, your manager, and your inspector can all have logins. Request a demo and we’ll give you a real number for your district.
We do the initial data load for you as part of onboarding. Send us your spreadsheets, drainage reports, or as-builts and we’ll build your asset inventory. If your district has GIS shapefiles, DistrictWorks imports those directly.
Anyone you authorize. Your own staff can log inspections from a phone in the field, or Back Eddy can perform the inspections and the records land in your account. Many districts do both.
It maintains the documentation an MS4 post-construction program needs: a facility inventory, dated inspection records with photos, condition ratings, and maintenance history, all exportable when an auditor asks.
Yes. Viewer logins are read-only. Board members see the map, the condition ratings, and the capital forecast but can’t edit anything.
Annual, and your data is always yours. Export everything to Excel or CSV at any time, including if you leave.
A 30-minute walkthrough using your facility types as the example, then sandbox access to explore on your own. No pressure, and if it’s not the right fit we’ll say so.
