When you move into a newly built home, you probably assume you'll be able to turn on your tap and get drinking water. You'll rely on your toilet to flush and expect to have access to roads for travelling to work, school, shopping or appointments. Additionally, when you call 911 in the case of a fire, you'll rely on firefighters to be there when you need them.
The Municipality of South Huron provides these services and more through the building of infrastructure that connects to newly built homes and businesses.
Some of this infrastructure you may never see - like watermains, wastewater mains and stormwater mains. Other infrastructure and amenities you will see - like roads and sidewalks, fire halls, recreation centres, parks and libraries.
As South Huron grows, development charges from new housing and commercial developments help fund new infrastructure, easing the burden on existing taxpayers and ratepayers.
