In 2014, facility-specific asset management plans were developed for water and wastewater treatment plants, sanitary liftstations, recreational facilities, and other City buildings. |
Asset Management Policy |
|
The Asset Management Policy provides the framework to assist staff in preparing an asset management plan and integrating all other plans, policies and pertinent legislation with it. It requires council to think beyond the current term and consider the effects of climate change and the needs of the municipality now and into the future. The policy also defines the role of staff, council, and the public in the capital infrastructure planning process. |

Flood Risk Assessment and Storm Outlet Review |
|
Historically, Pembroke has experienced significant amounts of flooding, as a result of both riverine flooding and storm sewers reaching capacity during large storm events, which have in turn caused damage to storm sewer outlets. In the City of Pembroke Official Plan, the City recognized that riverine flooding stems from high water elevations in the Ottawa river, as well as within the Muskrat River and the Indian River, but that 100-year flood elevations were only defined for the Ottawa River. The City retained Aquafor Beech Limited in 2021 to undertake the City-Wide Flood Risk Assessment and Storm Outlet Review, which is partially funded by the National Disaster Mitigation Program. This study presents opportunities for not only addressing historical flooding issues, but also regulating future development in flood-prone areas and rehabilitating/replacing storm outlets at risk of failure. |
Service Delivery and Modernization Review |
|
The City of Pembroke required an independent third-party reviewer to conduct a Service Delivery and Modernization Review of the Operations Department consisting of a technical review of the Operations Department and a financial review of the technical suggestions. This report covers the technical review of the Operations Department and outlines suggestions for improvements of the Pollution Control Centre, Roads & Fleet, Water Distribution and Waste Collection, and, the Water Treatment Plant. For the Service Delivery and Modernization Review, contact the Operations Department. |
Water System Financial Plan |
|
A financial plan requires a forecast of the municipality's financial statements for water services (i.e. statements of financial position, operations, changes in net financial assets/debts, and cashflow). The Safe Drinking Water Act requires that municipalities prepare the plan for a forecast period spanning at least 6 years, and that this plan be submitted to the Ministry of Environment every 5 years. As per these requirements, a municipality’s financial plan must be approved by council and submitted to the Ministry of Environment. For the Water System Financial Plan, contact the Utilities Secretary. |

An explanation of the processes and fees associated with official plan and zoning by-law amendments can be found at the beginning of the application form.
