The South Lyon City Council approved a $319,902.78 contract to D'Angelo Brothers for a water service and main transfer project that will move active services from an aging 8‑inch cast‑iron main to an adjacent 12‑inch ductile‑iron main between Dorothy Street and Princeton Drive.

Jeff Archie, the city’s Department of Public Works superintendent, said the 8‑inch main "has experienced 8 water main breaks in recent years" and is increasingly unreliable. The project will relocate all existing customer services and mainline connections to the newer 12‑inch main; once transfers are complete the contractor will cut and cap both ends of the 8‑inch main so it is fully disconnected from the active system. The project was budgeted from GL account 592‑452‑802.100.

Council approved awarding the bid to D'Angelo Brothers and authorized the mayor and city clerk to sign the contract. Council then approved a budget amendment to reflect the project cost in the water and sewer fund. HRC and DPW representatives said the work will be coordinated with next year’s Pontiac Trail paving project and that short, planned connection outages (roughly four hours) may be required while service lines are tied to the new main.
