Drayton, ON – June 16, 2025 

Northern Maple Utilities Inc. (NMU Inc.) was recently established as a publicly owned Municipal Service Corporation (MSC) dedicated to expanding water and wastewater services and infrastructure throughout the Township of Mapleton. 

In early 2024, the Township entered into a partnership with Graham Capital, renowned for their expertise in project financing and innovative delivery models. Together, they recognized a valuable opportunity for Mapleton to establish an MSC, aiming to develop a long-term, sustainable financing framework that not only preserves municipal borrowing capacity but also propels essential infrastructure projects forward. 

Thanks to the collaborative efforts between the Township of Mapleton, Graham Capital, CIMA+, and the Ontario Clean Water Agency (OCWA), Northern Maple Utilities Inc. officially launched in the spring of 2025. This dynamic new entity will manage the ongoing operations, maintenance, asset renewal, and delivery of water and wastewater services for the community. 

With over $40 million earmarked for infrastructure investments starting in June 2025, the transition to NMU Inc. will occur throughout the year, covering all operational aspects, including water and wastewater billing. Phase I of this transformative project will run from 2025 to 2027. A formal groundbreaking ceremony was held at the Mapleton Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) on June 11, 2025, marking a pivotal step towards a sustainable future for the Township.
