//That's in mega litres

That is too funny.

Heh

That chart is awesome and hilarious and part of me is scared that it's a joke.

I think I saw something similar from when the Oilers made the Stanley Cup finals back in 2006.

RminusQ: That chart is awesome and hilarious and part of me is scared that it's a joke.

oh, it's not a joke, the whole of Edmonton and area felt like a ghost down, except for the glow of T.V.s in every living room window.

That game was like our Super Bowl, except everyone in the country was rooting for the same team and people actually watched for the game, not the commercials.

It's funny you can even see the commercial break spikes where of the less adamant supporters make a daring sacrifice.

I wonder how much the end of third period spike included flushing the vomit down.

Water? You mean like out of the toilet?

You're not supposed to flush them at the end of your period.

We're number 1!

/unless Team Canada is playing

Wonder how much Molson wreaked havoc in the livers of all of Canada during those 2 games... At least 2 dozen of us were obliterated off IPA and/or hash (Bud Light reared its ugly head for the cheapies) and quite enjoyed the game.

/Some idiots got in a fight after one called hockey "soccer on ice"
//We'll get you next time, Canada

Should clarify, at least 2 dozen people at my house for that last post...

Shenanigans.

Why would a municipal water supplier need to track water consumption on a minute-by-minute basis? How exactly is such information tracked?

If I were ever a reporter, this is the kind of hard-hitting journalism I'd strive for.

(just kidding, that's hysterical, and I'd believe it)

Take that
Eh

They almost certainly have flow monitors scattered all over their system with real-time or near real-time reporting, so they can spot problems quickly.

That report simply sums up all the flows into the city.

Just a guess here, but you don't work for a utility company, do you?

Why wouldn't they?

Farking awesome...I take back all those mean things I've been saying about Canada recently.

BTW, what is hockey?

I work at an oil pipeline and we track flow second by second. It helps in leak detection, which is where I suspect this information comes from.

Real-time monitoring on major pipelines is very easy to do.

Real-time monitoring on major pipelines also lets utility companies spot blockages, leaks or breaks very quickly so water can be re-routed and issues fixed.

But hey, thanks for being stupid.

Well, that's a bit harsh, don't you think? No one else was a jackass about it.

FTA: "When Sydney Crosby scored in overtime to win the game, and the gold medal for Canada, we weren't just elated. We were also - and literally - relieved."

The reporter writes as if he's patriotic. If he was a real Canadian, he'd know how to spell Sidney Crosby.

You did call Shenanigans without anything but speculation to back it up.

Shenanigans are very serious business.

I bet the pretzels had extra fiber in them.

So was the beer Labatt or Budweiser?

I don't understand the question, neither of those things is beer.

Yeah, I know. It just strikes me as an inside joke from around the water office that no one expected would get out.

But, you're all right, what the hell do I know about city water supply management? My meter gets read once a month.

Aren't those brands of water you drink in between booze so you don't get dehydrated?

Now, now cancerous86. Say your sorry to the The Yattering and shake his hand, or neither of you get to play California kick-ball in P.E. today.

It was this in my house

I didn't even notice how bad the spelling was on that pic, let me submit a personal apology to all.

No, they are pre-packaged piss, ready for use by the consumer.

How about this stuff. If you drink it you grow a vagina.

That's really cool.

Megaliters as in megaliters per hour??? Per day??? What exactly is the rate on the y axis? 400 megaliters is 400,000 cubic meters, or 630 meters by 630 meters, or about 1.7 million gallons. Depending on whether that's per day or per hour it's huge or not huge. WHERE IS THE DENOMINATOR UNIT?

A common anecdote amongst utilities engineers in the US is that you design your systems for the worst-case scenario: super bowl halftime. Though this particular game got higher viewership (%-wise) than that.

Too bad it comes in a green bottle. The mark of a marketing driven brewery, imho.

Sometimes, that could come in handy. So to speak.

I love product names that try to dress up something gross. That's not just Michelob Tuscan Orange Grapefruit, it's Michelob Tuscan Orange Grapefruit ULTRA.

Seeing how Canada's average daily consumption per capita is 320 litres and there's around a million people in Edmonton and surrounding areas, I'm going to guess this is the daily rate.

How are they able to know how much water people drank?

orth: Seeing how Canada's average daily consumption per capita is 320 litres and there's around a million people in Edmonton and surrounding areas, I'm going to guess this is the daily rate.

Good call! It's ML/d. I totally didn't think of the per capita action. Nice.

/issue resolved thanks to orth

yeah, it's unfortunate for sure, but that's how it goes sometimes.
