Owosso council sets public hearing on proposed $3 million booster-station project
Summary
The Owosso City Council set a March 16 public hearing on a Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) project plan amendment to replace the Gute Hill Booster Station with a new building; the city is seeking EGLE DWSRF funding for the estimated $3,000,000 phase.
The Owosso City Council on March 2 set a public hearing for 6:30 p.m. on March 16 to receive citizen comment on a proposed amendment to the city’s Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) Project Plan that would replace the Gute Hill Booster Station with a new building.
The resolution (Res. 27-2026) notes the amendment changes the project from rehabilitating the existing structure to constructing a new facility and updates design and construction engineering plans. The estimated cost for the phase is $3,000,000; the document states the amendment is cost neutral to the project plan (no increase to the overall plan). The city intends to seek funding from the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) DWSRF program to finance the work.
The item was adopted as part of the council’s consent agenda, which was moved by Councilmember Christopher D. Owens and supported by Rachel M. Osmer; the consent agenda passed by unanimous roll call vote. The resolution sets the public hearing required by the DWSRF program and schedules council consideration and public comment on March 16 at 6:30 p.m.
If adopted after the hearing, the amendment would permit the city to advance construction of the Booster Station phase as described in the amended plan. The council did not make a final funding decision at the March 2 meeting; the hearing will be the public opportunity for comment before any subsequent council action.
