The Riverview City Council on Aug. 4 adopted Ordinance No. 7 52 to amend the city code's cross-connection policy in chapter 70 (Utilities), repealing and re-adopting section 70‑78 to align city rules with requirements from the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy.
Councilmember Ganaga moved for second reading by title and adoption; the motion was supported and passed on a roll-call vote with all members present voting yes: Councilmember Ganaga, Councilmember O'Neil, Councilmember Pray, Councilmember Robins, Mayor Pro Tem Webb and Councilmember Workman. Mayor Swift was excused.
The ordinance amends the city's declaration of policy regarding the prohibition of cross-connections within the municipal water system. The council record states the change is to update the ordinance for compliance with the state agency's requirements; the meeting transcript does not include the ordinance's full text or the ordinance's effective date.
No public hearing or extended debate on the ordinance is recorded in the meeting minutes. Details about enforcement mechanisms, inspection procedures or implementation timelines were not specified during the Aug. 4 meeting; those elements may be provided in the ordinance text or subsequent staff reports.
