This dataset contains the necessary information to compute the average cost of a utility locate in the Mesa and/or Magma Service Areas (see Service Area maps). A utility locate involves identification of all underground utilities prior to excavation in a specified area. A utility locate is initiated, usually by a homeowner or excavator, by calling 811 or contacting Arizona’s 811 center’s website and providing the address, county and nearest cross street of where they’re planning to dig, as well as the type of project they’re completing and the exact area on the property they’re planning to dig. 811 then contacts the city’s utilities so they can mark the presence of any underground utilities in the proposed project area. Utility locates can contribute to increased safety to people and property and can eliminate unexpected costs due to accidental damage of buried utilities. A locate can be initiated by either a homeowner or an excavator. Data being reported may have a 14 day lag.

This is the cumulative sum of expenditures for each accounting string (EECAF & PNGCAF) by fiscal year and accounting period. The accumulation starts in the first accounting period for each fiscal year and ends on the last accounting period for the fiscal year.

This version redacts sensitive information including personnel assigned and responding to the service request. This dataset allows for the calculation of the Arizona 811 Tickets submitted in the Mesa and/or Magma Service Areas. An 811 locate ticket is generated by a homeowner or excavator contacting Arizona’s 811 service and informing them that they have a project that involves underground excavation. The ticket is assigned a ticket identification number and forwarded to the appropriate utility that assigns department various staff (gas, water, electric, etc.) to identify and mark any existing underground utilities in the specified project area.

This version redacts all sensitive information including the person making the report, street number, longitude, latitude, geolocation, and name of excavator. This dataset contains information necessary to compute the number of reportable incidents occurring per month on Mesa’s natural gas system and determine the cause of any damages that may occur.

This dataset allows for the monthly computation of the System Average Interruption Duration Index (SAIDI) for the City of Mesa’s electric utility. The System Average Interruption Duration Index is commonly used as a reliability indicator by electric power utilities. It measures the average outage duration for each customer served and is calculated by taking the sum of the total customer minutes of service interruptions and dividing that by the total number of customers served. Data reporting may have a lag of 14 days.

Monthly electric consumption data in kWh and customer counts within the City of Mesa's electric service territory broken down by Rate Classification (i.e. Residential, Commercial, Other Public Authority, Interdepartmental). Consumption totals are for the month in which they are billed to the customer (“Billing Month”). Due to the constant reading of utility meters throughout the month, much of the consumption occurs in the month prior to the Billing Month. Data reporting may have a 14 day lag.

This dataset allows for the monthly computation of the System Average Interruption Frequency Index (SAIFI) for the City of Mesa’s electric utility. The System Average Interruption Frequency Index is commonly used as a reliability indicator by electric power utilities. It measures the average outage frequency per customer and is calculated by taking the sum of the total customers interrupted divided by the total number of active customers. Data reporting may have a 14 day lag.

Monthly natural gas consumption data in Therms by Rate Classification (i.e. Residential, Commercial, Other Public Authority, Interdepartmental) and customer counts within the City of Mesa natural gas service territory.  Consumption totals are for the month in which they are billed to the customer (“Billing Month”). Due to the constant reading of utility meters throughout the month, much of the consumption occurs in the month prior to the Billing Month.
