Commission approves water system capital improvement plan for submission to MDEQ
Summary
Mount Clemens approved a final water system capital improvement plan prepared by F and B Operations to satisfy state Safe Drinking Water Act requirements and to pursue potential funding; commissioners reviewed the plan and approved it by roll call.
The commission voted Nov. 7 to approve a final water system capital improvement plan submitted by F and B Operations and to submit that plan to the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality, as required under the state's Safe Drinking Water Act reporting obligations.
City staff described the plan as the final version requested by the state and recapped prior work sessions. The plan inventories five- and 20-year capital needs for the publicly owned water supply and identifies potential funding sources discussed during recent work sessions. No public comments were made on the item and the commission approved the plan by roll call.
Why it matters: The capital improvement plan documents projected water system needs and is a required element for continued regulatory compliance and to qualify for certain state funding programs. The plan frames investment priorities that could affect future water-system projects and rates.
What’s next: Staff will submit the plan to the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality and continue exploring funding options for the identified projects.
