City completes Municipal Servicing Standards Manual update

Medicine Hat – An updated Municipal Servicing Standards Manual (MSSM) is now available after City of Medicine Hat development staff completed a refresh of the technical document. This major update is the first refresh completed on the MSSM since December 2015.

The MSSM outlines the minimum specifications required for City infrastructure to inform developers and contractors. When infrastructure is built to support growth in the community, Municipal Servicing Standards ensure that it meets the City’s mandated level of quality. This allows for cost effective maintenance through the lifecycle of new infrastructure.

The purpose for updating this 266-page document was to provide updates and clarity on development and the MSSM use process. These updates have made the document more accessible, readable, and searchable.

View the updated Municipal Servicing Standards Manual on the City of Medicine Hat’s website for more information. The full list of major changes within the updated MSSM can be viewed within Appendix B of the document.
