City of Saline seeks state aid to rehab about 4 miles of sanitary sewer to protect River Raisin watershed
Summary
City officials told the subcommittee they are seeking state funding for an advanced-lining sanitary sewer rehabilitation project that would treat roughly 23,000 feet (about 4 miles) of pipeline and 80—690 manholes to reduce inflow and infiltration and improve water quality in the River Raisin watershed.
Rep. Foreman introduced a sewer-rehabilitation request for the city of Saline and turned the presentation over to a city representative who described a targeted project to rehabilitate approximately 23,000 feet (just over 4 miles) of sanitary sewer and 80—690 manholes using cured-in-place lining and related methods.
The presenter said the lining is a cost-effective alternative to full reconstruction that can extend asset life 15 to 20 years, reduce groundwater and stormwater inflow, lower treatment costs and help protect the Saline River and the larger River Raisin watershed (which runs through multiple counties to Lake Erie). Committee members asked about plan B if state funds are not available; the presenter said the city would continue long-term capital planning and pursue state or local utility funding.
Members asked for confirmation of scope and lifecycle expectations; the presenter reconfirmed the estimated mileage and said the work targets the worst-condition segments so newer lines would not be unnecessarily treated.
