The Engineering Division is responsible for design and supervision of construction or reconstruction of roads, sidewalks, sewers, and watermains, including survey, locates, and inspection activities for work done within our municipal rights of way.
Our staff covers the areas of Engineering, Development Review, Project Management, Traffic, AutoCAD, Inspection and Administration. Staff work with owners, residents, contractors, consultants and others to manage and improve the infrastructure we use every day.
We manage the contract with the Ontario Clean Water Agency (OCWA) to operate and maintain the City of Stratford Water Pollution Control Plant for our sewer system. Our goal is that treated wastewater does not harm the environment when it leaves the plant.
We supervise the contract with the Stratford-Perth Humane Society for Animal Control services.
