Municipal Infrastructure, in conjunction with the Canada Community-Building Fund (formerly the Gas Tax Program) and other organization (e.g. Municipalities Newfoundland and Labrador) has worked to develop a set of Asset Management tools to assist communities in managing their municipal infrastructure. These tools consist of guidance documents and spreadsheet that were created to help assess the conditions of current infrastructure, plan and prioritize upgrades/replacement of assets, and help make capital planning decisions.

The tools assist in determining the condition of current infrastructure, maintaining accurate inventory of assets, assessing risks, estimating costs, identifying climate change adaptations, determining level of services and identifying gaps in services, and identifying actions to take to meet regulatory requirements and customer expectations. When used together these tools provide the user with quality information to make informed decisions regarding the services the municipalities provide as well as infrastructure management.

Tutorial videos for the tools will be coming soon.
