On March 23, 2026, the Caseville City Council voted to adopt Resolution #2026-18, selecting Alternative 2 for the city's proposed water-system improvements and to submit that option to the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF). Councilmember Jason Krueger moved the resolution and Councilmember Jeff Hervert seconded; the roll call vote was recorded as approved 4-0.
Engineers from Jacobs Group and Fleis & Vandenbrink presented a preliminary engineering report that examined multiple alternatives, including a costly Alt 0 involving a line along M-25 (described in the report as exceeding $60 million) and a staff-backed Alternative 2. City Manager Jamie Learman told the council the decision should account not only for the cost-per-gallon of purchased water but also for labor and operational costs: "we also have to consider labor costs in addition to the cost/gallon from Port Austin." The council's recorded action directs staff to proceed with the DWSRF submission for Alternative 2 and to follow up on implementation steps required by the funding program.
The vote concludes the formal action at the special session; minutes show no additional council comments and the meeting adjourned at 3:30 p.m. The resolution record lists the motion as "pick alternative # 2 for the proposed water system improvements submission to the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF)."
