Chapleau's hiring a firm to prepare a key plan - and take a financial-minded look at water and wastewater services.
Mayor Michael Levesque says Council's approved a $25,000 proposal from KPMG to prepare an updated asset management plan, which is required by provincial legislation.
Levesque says Council's also agreed to KPMG's $12,500 proposal for a financial analysis of the Township's water and wastewater services - an update on an analysis done several years ago.
Mayor Levesque notes this does come after extending the Township's agreement with the Ontario Clean Water Agency for water services - which has increased the cost for such services by 28% - with the analysis aimed at looking how to cover costs for water and wastewater.
Any recommendations would need to be approved by Council at a later date.
