This set of punctual data shows fire hydrants on the island of Montreal. These bollards are high devices located along streets, equipped with a water outlet supplied from the water pipes, to which the fire-fighting hoses are connected in order to ensure fire protection. The information associated with the geographic data corresponds to the date of installation, status, owner and jurisdiction. __CAUTION__: This data is published annually, so it does not include updates made during the year. For this reason, they should under no circumstances be used for engineering purposes without validation by the City. **This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

Polygon features showing various zones of protection around drinking water system intakes/wellheads. A drinking water system is any domestic system with 2 or more connections, as defined in the Drinking Water Protection Act. Zone of protection is a broad term that represents a wide variety of areas as they have been delineated in their corresponding report. The methods and processes used to delineate these zones vary based on several factors including, but not limited to, population, vulnerability, hydrologic/hydrogeologic parameters, etc. For the use of this dataset, the term Protection Zone means that protection measures should be considered and/or implemented in these areas due to the importance of these areas supplying drinking water to their water system users. Protection Zone does not mean that protection measures have been implemented in these areas, nor that protection measures are not required beyond the boundary of these areas.

Polygon features representing the geographical extent of a source area that contributes water to a drinking water system. A drinking water system is any domestic system with 2 or more connections, as defined in the Drinking Water Protection Act. Source Area is a broad term used to describe any area that could potentially contribute water to the drinking water system; it does not mean that hydrologic analyses have been completed to determine likelihood of connectivity. These source areas most often represent the entire aquifer extent (for ground water systems) or the watershed upstream from the intake (for surface water systems).

Point features showing the location of intakes and/or wellheads for drinking water systems. A drinking water system is any domestic system with 2 or more connections, as defined in the Drinking Water Protection Act. These locations are updated as more information is received and is therefore continually being updated and may or may not match the corresponding Point of Diversion locations available through the Water Rights dataset and application.

The Indigenous Community Infrastructure dataset depicts infrastructure projects across Canada that are supported by Indigenous Services Canada (ISC) targeted infrastructure funding. It contains data related to project category, description, status, departmental investment and community. The dataset allows the Department to pinpoint and share information about individual infrastructure projects in Indigenous communities, in a proactive and transparent manner, to: • Showcase where and how investments are carried out • Demonstrate the Government’s commitment to address socio-economic gaps between Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities in Canada and improve access to high-quality services Projects featured in this Indigenous Community Infrastructure dataset are updated on a quarterly basis. Because some projects will benefit more than one community, the number of projects does not match the number of markers on the map or of entries in the dataset.
