Asset Management

The Municipality of South Huron's infrastructure assets are key resources used to provide services to the public. All of these resources contribute to the local economy and improve the quality of life for residents. These assets include:

• The delivery of a safe and efficient road network, that includes bridges, culverts, sidewalks and street lighting
• Safe drinking water
• Environmentally sound wastewater treatment
• Efficient storm water management
• Safe recreational facilities
• Managing sage, reliable and right sized municipal fleet

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 2021 Asset Management Plan has been developed in accordance with Ontario Regulation 588/17. 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. 

South Huron was featured by AMO in the following video highlighting some of our asset management accomplishments.

For further context into the importance of Asset Management Planning, the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) created the following video, summarizing why we invest in Asset Management.
