Tiffin Comprehensive Plan – Updated 2018

Infrastructure Introduction This section of the plan presents an inventory and evaluation of the city’s infrastructure facilities. The primary infrastructure for Tiffin includes the systems for water distribution, sanitary sewer, storm sewer collection and transportation. The city should encourage the preservation of viable existing infrastructure and promote the economical extension of new infrastructure and services. It is wise to conserve limited public funds by promoting efficient growth patterns. Extension of Tiffin’s infrastructure to new, appropriate development areas is a priority for the city. Economic development opportunities will rely on new extensions of sanitary sewer and water lines. Extension of these services into the city’s economic development growth areas should be a priority. To implement specific goals in this section of the plan, the city should not only rely exclusively on municipal funds, but utilize the development tools such as TIF and connection fees to fund infrastructure, redevelopment and economic development projects, where practical. Although a comprehensive listing of the city’s infrastructure is contained in this plan, it should not be construed to replace the day-to-day maintenance and operation of the city’s infrastructure. It is intended to provide a framework for the future growth of the overall system. City of Tiffin 2018 City of Tiffin, Comprehensive Comprehensive Plan Plan 33
