The Frontenac County is dedicated to building vibrant, sustainable communities. A major step in this commitment for Verona is the completion of our Water and Wastewater Servicing Master Plan. This comprehensive plan is crucial for a more affordable, and environmentally responsible future for Verona residents.
Why the Master Plan Matters
As Verona grows, particularly with new affordable housing, demand for water and wastewater services increases. Proactive planning ensures this growth is sustainable and our infrastructure can meet community needs, now and in the future.
The Master Plan focuses on:
- Environmental Protection: Safeguarding the Verona Watershed and minimizing environmental impact.
- Community Health: Ensuring safe drinking water and effective wastewater treatment.
- Affordability: Identifying cost-effective solutions to keep utility rates stable.
- Future Growth: Providing a roadmap for infrastructure expansion to support planned development, including affordable housing.
What the Plan Covers
The Master Plan is a detailed document that:
- Assesses Existing Conditions: Evaluates current infrastructure.
- Forecasts Future Needs: Estimates future water and wastewater demand.
- Identifies Servicing Options: Explores various technical solutions for water supply, treatment, and wastewater management.
- Develops an Implementation Strategy: Outlines phased projects, financial implications, and funding.

Next Steps for Verona
With the Master Plan complete, the Township is moving forward with implementation. This vital document will guide our investments in Verona’s water and wastewater infrastructure, ensuring the community’s long-term sustainability and well-being.
