Village plans water-main work tied to $620,000 grant; new pump to be installed after Labor Day
Summary
Council member Mike Mumper said Merritt Engineering is finishing plans for the Creek water project (part of a $620,000 grant); a new pump will be installed after Labor Day and the water-main work is expected to take two to three weeks with asphalt repairs by mid-November.
The Village of Michiana is preparing to start a water-main replacement project on Creek that council members said is funded in part by a $620,000 grant. Council member Mike Mumper told the council Merritt Engineering is finalizing plans and that the work is expected to be staged to minimize disruption.
"The new pump will be installed after Labor Day," Mumper said at the Aug. 9 meeting. He estimated the water-main replacement itself will take "two or three weeks" and said asphalt restoration could be completed by mid-November. The minutes link these timelines to the $620,000 grant supporting the projects; residents with properties on affected streets should watch future agendas for start dates and detour or restoration notices.
The water project was discussed as part of routine reports; the council did not take a separate motion on construction timing at the Aug. 9 meeting. Merritt Engineering is named in the minutes as the consulting engineer finishing the plans.
