The Town of Plympton-Wyoming Ontario

7 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 4, ISSUE 11 PLYMPTON-WYOMING , ONTARIO offerings in those properties,” Sobanski notes. Transportation and Infrastructure Regarding the town’s transportation and infrastructure assets, Mayor Atkinson relates that there have been various studies completed over recent years: In 2021, a road study identified about $26 million plus in work that needs to be done over the next 10 years; in 2022, a bridge inspection identified about $6 million-plus in work that also needs to be done over the same period; a wastewater financial plan identified $17 million in needed improvements over the next 20 years; and there’s a need to invest $5 million over the next 20 years to maintain the town’s drinking water supply system. Fortunately, the town has had the foresight to budget its needs well, while also taking advantage of provincial and federal government largesse. “As far as wastewater, I do commend our previous council,” says Atkinson. “They took advantage of provincial and federal funding to construct the existing wastewater system to sufficient capacity that will service the community into the long-term future.” Sobanski agrees: “Previous councils have been very progressive. They’ve been willing to do what they need to do to put money aside to ensure that they can make those improvements for the future. They have a great financial plan for the drinking water and wastewater systems that have shown we will be able to make all those improvements, which a lot of municipalities couldn’t even dream of doing. So, kudos to the councilors for doing that.” VOZZA CONTRACTING PROUDLY HELPING TO PRESERVE PLYMPTON-WYOMING’S WATER & SEWER SYSTEMS. • 1334 RYERSON COURT SARNIA, ONTARIO N7S 5J4 FRANK.VOZZA@BELLNET.CA
