Streets are linear features that represent the centreline of each street within the District of Saanich. Lines are segmented at street intersections and generally follow the centre of the street and contain left and right address ranges to support geolocation.Streets Metadata

The storm water dataset represents a collection of features that receive surface runoff into the storm water collection system. Storm Metadata

A water meter is a device used to measure the volume of water usage at a particular property within the District of Saanich. It is commonly located at the end of a service line and plays the role of a simple junction in the geometric network.Waterworks Metadata

Streetlights represent point locations for Steel Standard, Pole Mount, Post Top, Down Facing, Tunnel, Double Davit, Wall Pack, Decorative, Bollard, and Solar lights within the District of Saanich.Streetlights Metadata

A sewer cleanout provides access to a sewer collection system for the purpose of inserting cleaning tools, such as rods or snakes while cleaning a pipeline or blockage. A cleanout is generally found at the upstream end of a sewer gravity main. Cleanouts are sometimes found on laterals near property line. There are two types captured: Main and Lateral.Sanitary Sewer Metadata

The water structure is a manmade structure or building that is used to house equipment, convey or store water. Structures do not participate in the geometric network. A water structure is located partially underground and represented by a polygon outline of its foundation. The types captured include: Chamber, Manhole, Meter Box, Other, Pressure Meter Station, Pump Station, Reservoir, Valve Chamber.Waterworks Metadata

A sewer fitting represents the device used to connect or cap sewer main lines. They can be found at the end of the pipe or at a junction between two pipes where a transition must occur. This transition could be a change in pipe material, pipe diameter, or pipe installation year. There are two types captured: Junction and Main Cap.Sanitary Sewer Metadata

A sewer network structure is used to convey water through the system in non-gravity scenarios and operating structures. There are nine types of sewer network structures captured: Pump Station, Storage Basin Or Tank, Junction Chamber, Overflow Chamber, Pigging Chamber, Transition Chamber, Valve Chamber, Air Release Chamber, and Observation Chamber.Sanitary Sewer Metadata

A pressurized main is a type of pipe that operates under pressure and is able to convey sewage where a gravity system would not function.Sanitary Sewer Metadata

A storm gravity main is a type of pipe that is not pressurized and relies on gravity to move the storm water through the main. There are three types captured: Collector, Culvert, and Box Culvert.Storm Water Metadata

A trail is a travel way established either through construction or use. Municipal pedestrian trails are represented by a centreline and categorized by type including trail, stairway, bridge, overpass or underpass.Trails Metadata

A sewer manhole is a hatch that allows access for operators or equipment to gravity mains in a sewer collection system. It may also be called an access or maintenance hole.Sanitary Sewer Metadata

A watercourse represents open channels of running water flowing within the District of Saanich. A watercourse is a river, stream, creek, waterway, lake, spring, swamp, marsh, or other natural body of fresh water; or a canal, ditch, reservoir or other man-made surface feature in which water flows constantly, intermittently or at any time.Watercourse Metadata

An abandoned storm line is a decommissioned pipe that no longer participates in the storm water network. The abandoned line remains in the ground with the disconnected ends being capped. Types captured include: Gravity Main (Collector, Culvert, Box Culvert, Lateral (Standard, Lead, Wye).Storm Water Metadata

An abandoned sewer line is a decommissioned pipe that no longer participates in the sanitary sewer network. The abandoned line remains in the ground with the disconnected ends being capped. Types captured include: Gravity Main (Collector, Inverted Siphon, Outfall, Overflow, Trunk), Pressure Main and Service Line.Sanitary Sewer Metadata

A storm connection represents the point location where Saanich's storm distribution system meets the customer's storm water line. These points are most commonly located at the property line or right of way boundaries. There are three types: Standard, Inspection and Capped.Storm Water Metadata
