Abstract: DISCLAIMER - Current ATCO Gas data is available up to 2019 as-builts only. This dataset represents all rural low-pressure pipelines (less than 700 kPa) in Alberta under the jurisdiction of the Gas Distribution Act which include Gas Co-ops, First Nations, Counties, Private Systems, Apex Utilities, and ATCO Gas and is based on annual submissions of as-builts to Rural Utilities, Alberta Alberta Affordability and Utilities. The attributes of the pipelines contain the contact info, plus the status of the pipelines as being either Active or Abandoned. Rural Utilities assumes no responsibility as to the accuracy or completeness of these plans, Individual distributors must be contacted for actual locations of their pipelines. For pipelines located in Indigenous Lands, please contact the applicable Band Administration Office or the gas distributor for that area.

Purpose: This dataset illustrates all rural low pressure natural gas distribution systems in Alberta under the jurisdiction of the Gas Distribution Act. The pipeline dataset is annually updated by Rural Utilities based on the previous year's as-built submission from the distributor. 1) Pipe material, status (active or abandon) and contact information specified in the database attributes, 2) Plans have been compiled from information received from rural gas distributors or their agents, 3) Updates for each distributor are received annually.
