This story is based on the results of a 2016 study, using 2014 data, done for the Edmonton area to determine the vulnerable drainage and sewage areas of Edmonton in regards to a 1 in 100 year rainfall event.

Due to the constant changing of subsurface infrastructure (adding, upgrading, etc.) combined with the constant changing definition of a 1 in 100 year rainfall event (based on historic rainfall amounts), this raster file reflects the results of a study done in 2016 and should neither suggest previous year’s vulnerabilities nor future year’s vulnerabilities.

For a more regional Edmonton area breakdown of the Study’s results:

There are three different colour to the vulnerability of the roadways and the corresponding ponding depth that would occur for that area during a large rainstorm.

Those colours are:

Green (representing the depth from surface that sanitary flows can surcharge from less than 2.5 m)
Yellow (representing the depth from surface that sanitary flows can surcharge from 1.5 to 2.5 m)
Red (representing the depth from surface that sanitary flows can surcharge from greater than 1.5 m)

This Raster file is best viewed overlaid with the 2016 Flood Mitigation Study - Drainage and Sanitation Surcharge Map; as the various coloured areas follow the subsurface infrastructure (and the corresponding roadways if you are also viewing the street map as a layer).

This dataset is based on 2014 information and will not be updated further. The model is based on a theoretical, worst-case scenario storm that has never occurred in the Edmonton area.

Model Accuracy:

The LiDar used was a 5 meter grid system. LiDar has an accuracy of ? cm horizontally/vertically. Bare Earth LiDar was used in for this model surface.
This is a spline fit interpolations model. This is a 1D-1D model with 2D interpolations.The accuracy of the information provided in these data sets is plus or minus 10 cm vertically, and 10 cm horizontally.

The 100 year flood was based on the 2015 Edmonton 4 year Chicago storm event over 20 plus neighbourhoods. The data is a collection of the worst case scenario of model runs.

This is a common practice for Edmonton drainage models. These models are high level concept and projects determined from this data set will undergo finer, more detailed modeling.

These maps are a visual representation and intended to be used when prioritization of the best engineering solutions that are scheduled to be brought forward to Utility Council to mitigate future flooding in the City. The best engineering solutions are high level concept designs and require further modeling and design. At the time of the PDF release, November 9, 2016 there was no funding for any projects to be completed or for further design. Strategy will be brought forward to Utility Committee on June 7, 2017. Council will be determining funding and rate of project completion.
The Storm size used in these models are larger than Edmonton has historically seen. Historically, as seen in 2004 and 2012, only 4 neighbourhoods at a time were hit with the 100 year rainstorm event. With the cont

This story provides an explanation for the public about water consumption in 2016. The story included information about the average (annual, winter, summer) residential metered water consumption (2016) within 400 m x 400m hexagons (approximately two city blocks) provided in m3/month for the City of Edmonton. Average monthly residential winter water consumption is the average consumption of the following months: January, February, March, April, October, November and December. Average monthly residential summer water consumption is the average consumption of the following months: May, June, July, August and September.

Only those hexagons that contain at least ten accounts are illustrated to ensure customer privacy.

Residential consumption refers to water used primarily for domestic purposes, where no more than four separate dwelling units are metered by a single water meter.

Storm Rating legend ranges from 0 to 6, but will only show current ratings.
Rainfall amounts has 7 ranges, but will only show current ranges.

This dataset provides the average available fire flow capacity (2021) within 400m x 400m hexagons (approximately two city blocks) provided in Litres/second, for the City of Edmonton.

The following colours describe the capacity of the city block area water system under fire flow conditions using EPCOR-owned hydrants:

Red: 0-60 L/s
Orange: 60-100 L/s
Green: 100-180 L/s
Teal: 180-300 L/s
Blue: 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 available fire flow 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 fire flow capacity should be used to evaluate average available fire flow 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 0-60 L/s fire flow 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 EWSI's digital records as of March 3, 2021. Modifications to the water system after this date may change the available fire flow at any given time or place.

* The results presented in this data represent the overall average system capacity of the existing EPCOR-owned fire hydrants in the area during computer-simulated fire flow conditions. Other factors may change the available fire flow at any given time or place.

* The average fire flow 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. Please contact EPCOR Water at wtrdc@epcor.com to determine fire protection requirements for development.

The changes made to the original Statistics Canada data are as follows:

1) The data has been filtered to include only those FSAs with boundaries that are wholly or partially within Edmonton's city boundary, or touch that boundary.
2) The boundaries have been reprojected to LL-WGS84 (required by Socrata).
3) A multipolygon geometry attribute has been created to facilitate mapping.

This map is a representation of each depth layers in the Surface Ponding map from the 2014 Flood Mitigation Study.

This map representation was created as a result of a 2013 to 2016 study done for the Edmonton area to determine the vulnerable areas of Edmonton in regards to a 1 in 100 year rainfall event.

Due to the constant changing of subsurface infrastructure (adding, upgrading, etc.) combined with the constant changing definition of a 1 in 100 year rainfall event (based on historic rainfall amounts), this raster file reflects the results of a study done in 2016 and should neither suggest previous year’s vulnerabilities nor future year’s vulnerabilities.

There are four different colours to show the depth of water that might pool on the ground during a large rainstorm.

Those colours are:

Green (representing a ponding depth from 0.00 - 0.35 m)
Yellow (representing a ponding depth from 0.35 - 0.50 m)
Orange (representing a ponding depth from 0.50 to 0.75 m)
Red (representing a ponding depth greater than 0.75 m)

This dataset is based on 2014 information and will not be updated further. The model is based on a theoretical, worst-case scenario storm that has never occurred in the Edmonton area.

Model Accuracy:

For Areas west and central Digital Elevation Model was used from 2004. For the rest of the areas Bare Earth LiDar data was used. The surface data used was set to a horizontal resolution of 2.5 meters with a grid cell of 5m by 5m. This puts the vertical resolution at an accuracy of 0.1 meters.

This is a spline fit interpolations model. This is a 1D-1D model with 2D interpolations.The accuracy of the information provided in these data sets is plus or minus 10 cm vertically, and 10 cm horizontally.

The 100 year flood was based on the 2015 Edmonton 4 year Chicago storm event over 20 plus neighbourhoods. The data is a collection of the worst case scenario of model runs.

COVID-19 vaccines are safe, effective and save lives. The vaccine helps prevent you from getting infected and protects you from getting severely sick if you do get it.

Albertans are being vaccinated as fast as supply allows. This is happening in phases so people most at risk get it first. More groups will be eligible as we get more doses.

Until most Albertans are protected, fully vaccinated people must still follow all health measures: no indoor gatherings, keep 2 metres apart, wear a mask in public, and stay home when sick.
