Summary
The city approved three 20-foot easements to upsize a water main and authorized a cost‑share agreement with Kentwood to separate and meter each city's water system.
The Wyoming City Council approved utility easements for three properties and authorized an interlocal cost‑share agreement with the City of Kentwood tied to the Division Avenue Water Main Project at the May 19 meeting.
Council accepted 20‑foot utility easements for 23, 25 and 27 Spanish Court Southeast so the existing 6‑inch water main can be upsized to an 8‑inch main, City staff said. "We're gonna upsize that to an 8 inch and at the same time establish a utility easement where none exists," staff member Pat said during the meeting.
Separately, the council authorized an agreement with Kentwood for street improvements on Division Avenue and water main work on Maple Lawn Street. City staff said the agreement severs an existing cross‑border tie (retaining a connection for emergencies), allows separate metering and will be treated as a 50/50 cost share. The transcript records staff saying Kentwood will reimburse Wyoming about $460,000 for its share.
The council voted by roll call to approve both the easements and the Kentwood cost‑share agreement. Staff indicated recording the easements and finalizing invoicing to Kentwood are next implementation steps.
