CSA Group Community Water Standards can help municipalities develop strong, flood-resilient communities and reduce costs related to property and infrastructure damage. Despite the strong technical merits of CSA Standards, understanding how they fit into the existing governance structure of a municipality can be challenging.

To help communities overcome this challenge, CSA Group developed a comprehensive step-by-step Municipal How-to Guide offering urban planners, managers, and municipal officials:

• Descriptions of CSA water-related standards
• Outlines of three simple steps to integrating CSA standards into planning and approval processes
• Examples of wording municipalities can adopt for their bylaws and policy documents
