Inkster accepts $300,000 grant to add final pressure‑reducing vault at master meter
Summary
The city accepted a $300,000 grant to install a final pressure-reducing valve and vault at the city’s third master meter served by the Great Lakes Water Authority; staff said the device will reduce transient high-pressure waves that can cause water-main breaks.
The Inkster City Council voted to accept a $300,000 grant to fund installation of a pressure‑reducing valve and vault at the city’s third master meter.
A staff member explained the city has three master meters supplied by the Great Lakes Water Authority; two of the meters already have pressure‑reducing vaults and this project would add the final vault. The staff member said the vaults and valves reduce transient or high‑pressure waves that otherwise travel through the system and often cause water‑main breaks in the Inkster system.
The motion to accept the grant was moved and seconded and approved by voice vote. The transcript records the grant amount and the project purpose but does not specify the grant source name or other contract/vendor details on the record.
