Mapleton Council passes 2022 budget
At the December 14, 2021 council meeting, the Township of Mapleton council approved the 2022 budget with a 1.64% increase in the overall municipal tax rate. Though this year there will be an increase of $7.64 per $100,000 of assessment, over the past three years your Mapleton Council has worked hard to have an overall decrease of $2.69 per $100,000 of assessment. Your Mapleton Council continues to serve the community with all Mapleton residents in mind and is excited for all the amazing things that will come in 2022.
Included in the 2022 budget are many exciting projects for the Township of Mapleton and we are looking forward to what the year will bring. Some of the highlights include:
 The Drayton Water Tower will be completed and operational in 2022
 Upgrading the water well supply capacity
 Upgrading the wastewater pumping station
 $2.6 million in Road Improvements
This budget furthers the Township’s long term finance plans by way of promoting modest growth that will, over time, ensure and moderate the tax burden downwards and still provide for the sustainability of the Township’s roads, bridges, and other assets.
