Two Weeks To Save A Grant
Everyone else failed. CALCAD delivered.
Read Story →
Your GIS Department Since 1987.
Helping California's water, sewer, stormwater districts and municipalities make better decisions, reduce costs, and serve their communities with confidence.
For nearly four decades, CALCAD has helped public agencies modernize operations without unnecessary complexity, excessive consulting costs, or projects that take years to complete.
We don't simply install GIS software.
We become part of your team—providing the expertise, guidance, and technology that helps your agency operate smarter today and remain successful for years to come.
Every Utility Faces These Challenges
We inherited maps nobody trusts.
Poor data leads to poor decisions. We help agencies create reliable GIS information that becomes the foundation for daily operations.
Our GIS expert retired.
Institutional knowledge shouldn't disappear when one employee leaves. CALCAD becomes an extension of your staff.
Our GIS project never seems to end.
Years of consulting. Changing requirements. Growing budgets. Projects shouldn't work that way.
We can't justify spending hundreds of thousands on GIS.
Small agencies deserve enterprise capabilities without enterprise-sized budgets.
More Than GIS Software
We Can Become Your GIS Department.
Technology alone doesn't solve problems. People do.
That's why CALCAD takes a different approach. Instead of selling software and walking away, we partner with your agency from planning through implementation and long-term support.
Whether you need data conversion, asset management, GIS implementation, application development, integration, or ongoing assistance, you'll work with experienced professionals who understand how utilities actually operate.
- When questions arise… Call us.
- When priorities change… We'll adapt.
- When your GIS champion retires… We're still here.
Because we're more than your software vendor. We're your GIS Department.
You don't need another software project.
You need confidence.
General Managers don't measure success by how many GIS layers exist. They measure success by whether:
- Water stays flowing.
- Infrastructure is maintained.
- Crews have the information they need.
- Emergency decisions are made quickly.
- Budgets remain under control.
That's exactly how we measure success too.
What Makes CALCAD Different
Nearly Four Decades of Experience
Since 1987 we've helped agencies solve GIS challenges others considered impossible.
Built for Utilities
Water. Wastewater. Stormwater. Public Works. Municipal operations. That's our specialty.
On Time.
Our reputation has been built on delivering projects when promised.
On Budget.
No surprises. No endless consulting.
Honest Advice
Sometimes the best recommendation costs us money. We'll make it anyway. Because earning trust is more important than making a sale.
Long-Term Partnership
Technology changes. Your mission doesn't. We'll be here when you need us.
Impossible?
That's Usually When We Get The Call.
Many agencies contact CALCAD only after being told “It can't be done.”
Over the last four decades we've built a reputation for solving the problems others couldn't.
- Projects completed under impossible deadlines.
- Legacy systems brought back to life.
- Data recovered.
- Complex integrations made simple.
- Emergency applications developed when communities depended on them.
If someone has already told you “No.” Let's have a conversation.
