Abstract:
Flathead County Water and Sewer Districts are obtained from individual districts, recorded with the Flathead County Clerk and Recorder Office, then digitized and adjusted to the ParcelPoly dataset by the Flathead County GIS Department.Flathead County Water and Sewer Districts will be updated as annexations and new districts occur, and adjusted as needed to the Flathead County GIS Department parcel polygon data.
Purpose: This dataset is used for general mapping and query purposes.

Data Quality Information:
Completeness report:
After extensive auditing has been conducted to find any missing annexations, this layer is considered complete. It is updated promptly after any new annexations occur.


Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report:
This data is built upon the Flathead County Parcel layer, which was created from a least squares adjustment of existing survey data representing the Public Land Survey System (PLSS).Field surveys of the parcel layer were conducted on a sampling of 10 townships, which revealed an average error of 11.36 feet, with a maximum error of 26.69 feet and a standard deviation of 7.86 feet.
