Water and public utilities in Medellín
Also inspect 36 rural treatment plants, 26 substations and planning water, sewerage, gas and energy networks within the visible area. Explore the 76 rural water-intake records published by Medellín and 174 sanitary-perimeter polygons from its land-use plan. Find a water system by name, compare intake types and catchments, or distinguish EPM and other-entity sanitary-coverage categories on the map. Inspect individual records and compare this reference with the drainage network.
Historical inventories, not current water availability, outages or service quality. Intake records retain update years from 2003 to 2019; their metadata describes a June 2020 revision. Two El Hato points are in Bello and eight records have no water-system name. Polygons describe coverage and potential coverage under the 2014 land-use plan: all report December 17, 2014, while metadata states a March 19, 2015 revision. They do not certify a property’s connection, service feasibility or continuity. Records are not unique water systems or served households; selected areas do not measure effective population coverage.

How to use itHow to use the map
- Open the viewer with this theme’s first layer enabled. Search a neighborhood or enter coordinates as latitude, longitude.
- Enable other layers in the theme and zoom in. Detailed cadastral layers require a close scale to keep queries bounded.
- Select a feature on the map or in the Results list. Check its attributes, retrieval time and any partial-result notice.
- Choose a field and exact value to filter the layer. Export includes only received results, with attribution and dates; it does not download the whole municipality.
Sources, dates and limits
Each source’s verification date appears in the table. Retrieval time is not the data update date. Small city-wide layers use the full extent; larger layers depend on the visible area. Reference publications retain their original retrieval date. Each response contains up to 500 features and 2 MB. Reference publications load matching pages, up to 5,000 features and 8 MB per query. External services may return partial samples, identified in the viewer.
