ACT Water Pit Assets with Location and Maintenance Details

ACTGOV Water Pit Assets is a polygon dataset showing locations of water pits in the Australian Capital Territory. Assets are owned or managed by the City Services, City and Environment Directorate and include attributes such as location description, suburb, ownership, and asset sub type. The dataset is maintained by the ACT Government Geospatial Data Catalogue and was last updated on 2026-03-25.

Use Cases

• Map water infrastructure locations based on polygon geometry and suburb attributes.
• Analyze asset ownership and maintenance responsibilities based on ownership and maintained by fields.
• Identify specific pit types for maintenance planning based on asset sub type (Filter Chamber, Meter Chamber, Pump Well, Valve Chamber).
• Assess physical characteristics of pits for safety or engineering studies based on material, lid type, ladder access, surface level, and depth.

Strengths

• Attributes include specific asset sub types: Filter Chamber, Meter Chamber, Pump Well, Valve Chamber.
• Data is maintained through a formal works as executed (WAE) handover process or field audits.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats including GDB, GPKG, GEOJSON, and KML.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to data_gov_au, as assets owned privately or by other government bodies may not be included.
