Asset management plan | ||||||||
The Municipality of West Grey owns and manages a diverse range of assets and infrastructure which is used to provide safe and reliable access to a variety of essential services. West Grey's 2022 asset management plan pertains to the municipality’s core assets: roads, structures such as bridges and culverts, and underground infrastructure including the sanitary, storm water and water mains. West Grey's 2014 asset management plan was developed by Infrastructure Solutions (Engineering) Inc. (ISI) to collect the Municipality of West Grey’s geometric and condition assessment data. The plan was based on linear asset types and their current replacement costs. Asset lifespans, condition and project requirements were determined by engineering assessments, and degradation curves. |

WSP Canada Inc. completed a full evaluation of the bridges and culverts in West Grey. This study was divided into three areas Bentinck, Glenelg and Normanby, because of the unique features in each area. The reports are separate, but the strategies are an inclusive and overall approach. |

Saugeen Valley Conservation Authority – Final Report |

Saugeen Valley Conservation Authority Flood Mapping
|
||||||||
Hazard mapping currently forms a part of the planning process and applications for building or conservation authority permits. Given the increasing frequency and severity of extreme weather events, it is crucial to establish and maintain precise flood hazard maps to ensure public safety, minimize property damage, and reduce business disruptions. The hazard maps generated through this program will aid in future decision-making for both the Conservation Authority and the Municipality of West Grey. Saugeen Valley Conservation Authority (SVCA) is managing this project on behalf of the Municipality. The team at SVCA are collecting comments, and answering questions about the project and engagement process, as well as effects the mapping is expected to have for landowners. SVCA have provided the attached Frequently Asked Questions document to assist in explaining the program and impacts, and I understand an additional open house meeting is scheduled to present changes to the regulations mapping (which will include the engineered flood hazard mapping, as well as various changes as dictated by the Province).
