Engineering Standards Update

The City of Quinte West’s engineering standards provide guidance for the design and construction of municipal infrastructure.

It is the responsibility of developers/consultants to review and apply the latest version of the City’s engineering standards to ensure all design and construction activities of proposed developments comply with current specifications.

By keeping our standards current, we can deliver reliable infrastructure that meets the needs of our community, now and into the future.
