Maps & Records Section
The primary functions of the Maps and Records Section is to maintain construction project records and map information in the City's Geographic Information System for infrastructure that is the responsibility of the Department of Municipal Development, such as storm drain lines, roads, traffic signals and some City facilities. Most inquiries are received from consulting engineers and contractors. The section also receives inquiries from other City Departments and outside agencies.
The public is sometimes concerned with finding the locations of water and sanitary sewer service lines that are servicing their properties. For these requests, they should contact the Albuquerque Bernalillo County Water Utility Authority Maps & Records at (505) 768-3608.
Inquiries from consulting engineers are usually for new project designs in order to connect new subdivision infrastructure or rehabilitate existing infrastructure.
