The Municipality of Brockton undertook a Water, Wastewater, and Stormwater Master Servicing Plan (MSP) for the community of Walkerton to establish a preferred servicing strategy to meet existing needs and support projected growth and expansion of the community’s urban boundary.

A key driver of the MSP was to establish a plan that maintains, or improves upon, the existing levels of service. The objective of the MSP study was to develop a comprehensive plan that would incorporate all facets of management, expansion, and funding of the water, wastewater, and stormwater systems for the entire community, including the expansion of Walkerton’s urban boundary, to the year 2046 and beyond.

The Master Plan was completed in accordance with Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) and was intended to follow Approach #1 of the Master Planning process, which involved the completion of a Master Plan document. The Master Servicing Plan will then be reviewed and updated every 5 years.
