Ask any municipality, and I’m sure that they will tell you that asset management and infrastructure replacement is one of their major challenges. The Town of Creston endeavours to balance the maintenance of existing, aging infrastructure while being fiscally responsible and environmentally sustainable. Today’s asset management practices involve planning for the full lifecycle of an asset which includes not only the implementation and ongoing maintenance of that asset, but also for the asset’s eventual replacement. In the case of the Town’s wastewater treatment plant, ensuring compliance with Provincial regulations which change with legislation, is also an important consideration.
