Sustainable Community Servicing Plan

The District of 100 Mile House will develop a 20-year, action-oriented Sustainable Community Servicing Plan (SCSP) for capital and operational investment that considers both growth-related investment and the renewal/rehabilitation of existing infrastructure, to improve the sustainability of the community’s infrastructure. The SCSP will reflect a much broader triple bottom-line approach to community servicing than the current planning process to ensure that the service level goals for the community are financially, socially and environmentally sustainable. It will consider all municipal infrastructure within the District Boundary including the management of transportation, water, wastewater, and storm drainage systems. The innovative use of geographic information system (GIS) technology will be employed to evaluate a wide variety of scenarios such that multiple objectives can be achieved in the most cost-effective manner. The SCSP will consider the full life-cycle costs and environmental impact of the District's infrastructure over a 20-year span. The environmental indicators established from the study’s development of the sustainability scorecard will allow for the quantitative assessment of the community’s impact on the environment. The potential environmental benefits will be substantial.
