A Functional Servicing Report shows how your site will be serviced. It covers municipal water, sanitary sewer, and storm sewer infrastructure.
The report demonstrates that the proposed services suit the scale of the development. Municipalities commonly require one for planning and development applications.
That includes official plan amendments, zoning by-law amendments, site plan control, and draft plan of subdivision. The report addresses existing capacity, the servicing strategy, connection points, and any required upgrades.
Larger and higher-density sites also need trunk infrastructure addressed. Where downstream capacity is the real constraint, a capacity study for trunk infrastructure runs alongside the report.
The report is reviewed and sealed by a licensed Ontario Professional Engineer, as applicable. The level of detail varies by municipality and application type.
Applications often pair the report with a Stormwater Management Report and a servicing plan. Preparing them together keeps the flows, inverts, and connection points consistent across the set.
