Municipal lives for storm sewer (G3030)

26 municipalities in Ontario state a life for storm sewer as a whole, in 26 distinct tables: 20–150 years, median 50. 57 rows come from capital asset policies (accounting lives, used for amortization) and 43 from asset management plans (planning lives, used to forecast replacement). They describe the system rather than this component, and none is a measured life.
