# Sewer Connection Information Support System (SCIMS)

The SCIMS is a core module that enables the city to maintain information on new sewer connections established between a building and sewer network within the city. This module provides a native mobile application (android) that allows the collection of the unique ID of both the building and the corresponding sewer network through a field survey. The collected building ID as well as sewer ID are maintained by this module, and once approved it is reflected in the BIMS, which updates the sanitation system and utility information of the building.

The Building Code (BIN) and Sewer Code are collected via mobile application; after submitting the sewer data from the mobile app, the data is then sent to the web which is displayed in the Sewer Connection module. For detailed instructions on the sewer connection information collection process, refer to the [**Sewer Connection Information Collection Mobile App User Manual.**](http://152.42.244.158/knowledge-product/books/sewer-connection-information-collection-mobile-app-user-manual "Sewer Connection Information Collection Mobile App User Manual")
