Calgary Public Water Service Line Materials and Installation

Data covers public water service lines owned by The City of Calgary. It includes attributes such as BUILDING_TYPE, PIPE_DIAMETER, MATERIAL_TYPE, and INSTALLED_DATE for each service address. The dataset is maintained by data.calgary.ca and was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Predicting pipe failure risk by correlating MATERIAL_TYPE and INSTALLED_DATE with maintenance records.
• Mapping the spatial distribution of lead or other specific MATERIAL_TYPE pipes using the WATER_SERVICE_ADDRESS and line geometry.
• Analyzing infrastructure age and material trends over time by grouping records by INSTALLED_DATE and MATERIAL_TYPE.
• Planning targeted pipe replacement programs by identifying areas with high concentrations of older INSTALLED_DATE and specific BUILDING_TYPE.
• Estimating material inventory for public water service lines by aggregating counts of PIPE_DIAMETER and MATERIAL_TYPE.

Strengths

• Includes geospatial line geometry for mapping and spatial analysis.
• Provides specific attributes like MATERIAL_TYPE and INSTALLED_DATE for each service line.

Limitations

• Row count and total geographic coverage are unknown, limiting assessment of completeness.
• Data excludes private property water service lines, which may have different MATERIAL_TYPE and INSTALLED_DATE.
• Data is subject to change due to redevelopment and maintenance, potentially causing staleness.
