What is asset management?
Did you know that every day, Woolwich Township manages approximately $1.1 billion in infrastructure assets from roads, bridges and sidewalks to recreational facilities, sewers and more? These assets help us serve the community and add to the quality of life in Woolwich.
Like looking after a car – taking it for regular oil changes and maintenance – it’s our job to look after these assets so they continue to serve our community and meet our needs now and into the future. As assets age there are increased costs associated with the upkeep and eventual replacement of these assets. By investing in the maintenance and repair of assets at the right time, asset management can help increase the life and reduce the costs of assets over their life.
As required by the Province, we are in the process of developing an asset management plan in 2025 for all Township-owned assets that identifies level of service targets. This plan will help us gather important data and make good, predictable decisions related to how and when we operate, maintain, replace or repair our assets. The plan also helps us balance costs, risks and how we deliver services over the long-term.
We need your feedback to develop the plan.
We want to know:
How well you think we’re doing in maintaining the Township’s assets
Where you think we should improve
What you think our priorities should be
Our asset management plan will be aligned with theTownship of Woolwich’s 2024-2034 Community Strategic Plan that centers around the “Live, Work, Play” model where we can bring the community together, expand recreation options, and support sustainable growth.
Together, we can ensure that the services you rely on—clean water, safe roads, efficient stormwater management, and more—continue to meet your needs and those of future generations.
Please provide your feedback in the survey below.

There are seven sections in the survey that represent each type of asset we have. The service areas include fire, indoor recreation facilities, outdoor recreation spaces, stormwater management, transportation, wastewater and water.
It should take about 10 to 15 minutes to complete (more time may be needed for questions that request your comments).
Your answers will be anonymous.
Your answers will help inform the Township’s 2025 Asset Management Plan.
Please tell your friends. We want as many people to fill it out as possible.
