Asset Management Plan
An Asset Management Plan helps the Municipality make the best possible decisions regarding the construction, operation, maintenance, renewal, replacement, expansion and disposal of infrastructure assets while minimizing risk and cost to taxpayers and maximizing service delivery.
The Municipality has updated their Asset Management Plan to meet the regulatory requirements of Ontario Regulation 588/17 for 2024.
Staff have prepared A Guide to Reading the Municipality of South Huron's Asset Management Plan to assist with terminology and provide information on asset categories when reading the Asset Management Plan.
