Public Notice of Intent

The City of East Jordan intends to file an application for financial assistance from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Rural Development, Rural Utilities Services to fund improvements to the existing wastewater collection system.  The existing system has been experiencing severe inflow and infiltration the past few years due to the high groundwater table and extreme weather events.  The increased water to the wastewater plant has caused sanitary sewer overflows.  The proposed project will eliminate several known points of inflow and infiltration to the system and increase the sanitary sewer collection system security.  The proposed project includes replacing approximately 728 feet of 12-inch sewer, 1,336 feet of 10-inch sewer, 3,884 feet if 8-inch sewer, 40 manholes, and 16,558 feet of sanitary force main.  The total project is estimated to cost $4.6 million dollars.  Design is anticipated to begin this summer with construction starting next spring.  A public hearing regarding the project will be held virtually on March 16, 2021 at 6:45 pm.  Questions about the project can be directed to Tom Cannon, City Administrator, 231-536-3381.
