This dataset provides the average water network capacity (2023) within 200m x 200m hexagons, in Litres/second, for the City of Edmonton. The following colours describe the capacity of the city block area water system under computer-simulated conditions using EPCOR-owned hydrants: Red: 0-50 L/s Yellow: 50-100 L/s Light Green: 100-150 L/s Dark Green: 150-200 L/s Teal: 200-250 L/s Blue: 250-300 L/s Purple: 300 L/s and up No Data: No EPCOR-owned hydrants in Area Important Considerations: * EPCOR provides this data for information purposes only. EPCOR makes no guarantee, representation or warranty, express or implied, including that the data is true, accurate, complete, fit for a specific purpose or non-infringing, and no responsibility of any kind is accepted by EPCOR or EPCOR representatives for the completeness or accuracy of the data. EPCOR and its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees and other representatives shall not be liable to any person or entity as a result of the use or other handling of the data. * The hexagon grid utilized to present the average water network capacity data has been updated by EPCOR. As such, this version of the dataset should not be directly compared to previous versions of this dataset. * The average water network capacity is intended to be understood in a relative manner: e.g. a blue area is anticipated to provide higher flows on average than a green area. * Any city block area that indicates 0-50 L/s water network capacity has been evaluated by Edmonton Fire Rescue Services (EFRS). EFRS does not associate any significant risk with these areas and can adapt a response to a fire event in these areas given the small geographical area and buildings affected. * The results presented in this data were determined using computer modelling software that represented the distribution and transmission water network current in EWS's digital records as of February 16, 2023. Modifications to the water system after this date may change the water network capacity at any given time or place. * The results presented in this data represent the overall average water network capacity in an area during computer-simulated conditions at EPCOR-owned hydrants. Other factors may change the water network capacity at any given time or place. *The results presented in this data are not representative of lot-level available fire flow as outlined in the Volume 4 Design and Construction Standards. * The average water network capacity ranges are only indicative of average system capacity and not indicative of EPCOR-owned hydrant spacing. A development may still require infrastructure upgrades to meet minimum hydrant spacing requirements. * This map is not a substitute for directed engineering inquiries regarding infrastructure improvements to support development.
