The Municipality of Sioux Lookout began working with PSD Citywide in 2013 in an effort to enhance service delivery and oversee the organization’s asset management processes. The Municipality set out to develop updated water and wastewater financial plans they could continuously update and use as a planning tool to improve their water networks’ levels of service.
“This wasn’t a plan that you put into a binder and shelve after approval; it has, and continues to be, an important tool in our financial planning toolkit.”
