Sewer System Maps
Procedures for Viewing
Maps of the JCW sanitary sewer system can be viewed on the Johnson County AIMS Mapping System through this link. Please review the Kansas Open Records Act policy and the data disclaimer and select the “Continue” button. A Security Warning will display regarding redirection to another site. Select “Yes” to continue. The AIMS “Online Mapping” web page will display. The “Layers” menu bar is on the left. This menu bar controls the features that are displayed in the map window. Some of these features are too detailed to be shown on the large scale maps but will display at reduced scales. The map window in the center initially displays the entire County. At the bottom of this window, the “Map Size” may be adjusted, the map may be “Redraw(n)”, or return to the full view of the County map with “Full Extent”. Interactive tools to manipulate the map and to provide specific information on map attributes are available in the menu on the right side of the map.
To begin, select the “Zoom In” button in the menu on the right and select the point of interest on the map. Continue to select the point of interest on the map to zoom in closer. The “Zoom Out” and “Pan” buttons also allow maneuvering within the map. A specific address or cross streets may also be used to locate a point of interest. Type the address or cross streets in the “Search For Location:” box in the right side menu and select “Locate It”.
To display the JCW sanitary sewer system, open the “Utility Layers” directory in the left side menu and select the “JCW Sewer Lines” box. Next, select the “Redraw” button at the bottom of the menu or the top or bottom of the map. The sanitary sewers and manholes are displayed as green lines and dots in the map window. To open the as-built record for an existing sewer main, select the “ID Feature” button in the upper portion of the right side menu. Next, select the “Sewer Lines” option from the “Active Layer:” drop down menu and select the line of interest on the map. An “Identify Results” information “pop up” window will be displayed. Please select “Yes” if your computer security settings or a “Pop Up” blocker request you to allow this web page. Select the “As-built Scan(s)” hyperlink number in the “Identify Results” window to open the applicable plan sheet(s).

JCW District Enlargement
All areas served by sanitary sewer mains under the jurisdiction of Johnson County Wastewater (JCW) must be within the legally created Consolidated Main Sewer District (CMSD). If the project area is not within the CMSD, the property owner will need to petition for enlargement into the CMSD. To identify whether a project area is within a JCW CMSD area, use the AIMS mapping link directions above and select the “JCW Sewer Districts” box under the “Utility Layers” directory, then select “Redraw” to display. The JCW CMSD areas are cross hatched in yellow. If the project area is not within the JCW CMSD, it may be an area that is currently in the JCW planning or design/construction process.
To determine if the project area is in process, please select one of the Status of Proposed Districts and Study Areas Map.
