The Project Plan improvements are comprised of sanitary sewer lining/grouting projects in three (3) different areas of the City along with a removal and replacement project, as well as improvements to the 9 Mile Retention Basin Facility. These projects are referenced as follows:
- Sanitary sewer rehabilitation in select areas of the Chatham Hills neighborhood (Section 1), along Cass St. and Alta Loma Dr. in the area west of Farmington Road and south of Grand River (Section 2), in select areas of the Bel-Aire neighborhood as well as a small portion in the Farmington Meadows subdivision (Section 3). Construction impacts will be limited since the projects will be primarily self-contained.
- Sanitary sewer removal and replacement along Riverview Court just north of Grand River Ave. Construction will include the excavation and removal of existing materials in order to construct new sanitary sewer in kind. The work site will be restored upon completion The impact of the project will be improved ability of the City to provide reliable sanitary services.
- 9 Mile Retention Basin Facility improvements are proposed to maintain proper operations. Rehabilitation will include replacing assets nearing the end of their useful life, including pumps, blowers, motor control center, generators, valves, sluice gates, and other miscellaneous assets. Most of these assets are over 30 years old and some are no longer supported by the manufacturer, thus replacement parts are difficult to find.
The temporary impact of construction activities will be minimized through mitigation measures specified in the contract documents. Adverse impacts on historical, archaeological, geographic, or cultural areas are not expected. This project is necessary to ensure that the City can maintain sanitary service to residents.
