General Municipal Servicing Standards
The General Municipal Servicing Standards (GMSS) provide specific requirements for the design, preparation and submission of plans and specifications for construction of municipal improvements and systems (roadways, water distribution systems, low-pressure/gravity sewer systems, storm water management facilities). Municipal improvements must meet the servicing requirements for commercial, industrial and residential development within the Municipality.
The GMSS have been developed to:
- ensure that the Municipality is provided with a quality product that will meet an acceptable long-term life expectancy while maintaining cost efficiency and practicality so as not to prohibit land development;
- minimize the maintenance requirements associated with land development.
The drawings and diagrams referenced in the GMSS are listed below:
