Annual Mapping Database Update
One of the responsibilities of utility members is to verify the accuracy of their mapping database on an annual basis. Each November utilities are notified either by email or letter when the participation period begins. This should be completed to the extent feasible, no later than March 31st of each year. This process helps ensure your underground facilities are properly protected.
There are two options available to verify the mapping database:
- IMAP – online mapping application
- Paper maps – hand draw your coverage area
IMAP
MOCS members have the ability to manage their databases online. This application allows the member to make any modifications, additions and/or deletions necessary to their coverage area. Using this option allows each district code to have one person do ALL the edits and verifications OR have two people, one who edits and one who verifies. Making database changes through IMAP eliminates the paper map approval process and gives the member direct control over their database.
If you would like to sign up for IMAP you will need to sign an IMAP User Form. Print out the form, completely fill it out and fax it to the number provided at the bottom of the form.

After your information has been processed, you will receive an email with your requested login information and the IMAP manual. Please refer to the manual for step-by-step instructions. Interactive online training is available upon request.
Paper Maps
Paper maps are available for utility member's who do not have access to a computer with high-speed Internet. Contact the Mapping Database Administrator at 573-636-1550.
