Frontenac Municipal Services (FMS) is paving the way for rural development in Frontenac County by making communal water and wastewater systems accessible to developers. Learn how FMS is simplifying the process, de-risking projects, and building strong partnerships to unlock new housing opportunities.
South Frontenac is receiving $3.2M in provincial funding to build new communal water and wastewater systems for the Verona Housing Project, unlocking housing growth and sustainable infrastructure.
Across Ontario, rural municipalities are grappling with the same challenge: how to deliver reliable infrastructure in a way that’s affordable, flexible, and sustainable. Traditional approaches often fall short in rural settings – especially when it comes to water and wastewater systems. That’s where Municipal Service Corporations (MSC’s) are helping to chart a new path forward. Why MSCs Matter Municipal Service
Clearford brings decades of experience managing small, decentralized water and wastewater systems in rural villages across Ontario. While FMS is still laying the groundwork for active operations, Clearford is already a key part of our team—working closely with our Technical Support Committee to provide technical guidance, policy insights, and practical know-how.
You might be familiar with traditional municipal water and sewer lines, or perhaps individual wells and septic systems common in rural areas. But there’s a powerful “third way” emerging, one that offers a balanced approach to growth and sustainability.
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.
