Township of Greater Madawaska
Asset Management Levels of Service Survey

The Township of Greater Madawaska is currently updating its Asset Management Plan (AMP). Asset Management helps us make decisions about the service delivery of our infrastructure and assets, such as roads and buildings. An important part of updating the AMP is getting the community’s feedback on what levels of service you expect from the infrastructure that we operate, maintain, repair and replace. This information helps us better manage our infrastructure assets to meet your current needs, while planning for the service needs of the future.
Your input is valuable to us.

10.One scenario under consideration in our Asset Management Plan is to fund our infrastructure on a lifecycle approach. To meet the funding requirements of our aging infrastructure, it is estimated that an increase in fees will be required. Investing in the infrastructure at the right time improves the condition and extends the useful life of the asset. To meet the funding requirements of our aging infrastructure, it is estimated that an increase in the municipal tax rate of 1.6% is required.

A 1.6% increase in tax rate is equivalent to an increase of $16.32 in 2025 for the average residential household (assessment value of $200,000), or about $1.36 per month.

Which of the following options would you be willing to pay?(Required.)
11.Consider the following scenario which requires a change in level of service or increases in taxes. Which options reflect (or best reflects) your willingness to pay and accept change?
