Sewer systems: Third oldest in the country as investments lag

The average age of the province's sewer systems has reached its record low of 16.0 years in 1988. Since then, it increased almost steadily to reach 20.0 years in 2007.

In terms of useful life, the rate stood at 60% in 2007, 7 percentage points above the national average, making Prince Edward Island the province with the third oldest asset in this category.
