Council hears update on water project approvals and possible brief shutdown for generator repairs
Summary
Council was told EPA approval is required before water bids can be issued and NIES is finalizing bid materials for EPA review; separately, a generator maintenance issue at the pump house may require a brief overnight shutdown, but backup systems aim to avoid a boil-water advisory.
Council discussed delays in the water project tied to regulatory approvals: Council member Mike Mumper said EPA approval is required before water bids can go out and that NIES is finalizing bids for EPA review; plans will be submitted to EGLE for permitting, a process Mumper said typically takes about three weeks.
Street Superintendent Rick Reitz reported that generator-related maintenance at the pump house may necessitate a brief overnight water shutdown. Reitz said backup systems are in place to help avoid a boil-water advisory and that residents will be notified by email blast and the village website before any work takes place.
The council did not set a specific date for the generator work and emphasized that staff will notify residents in advance and take steps to prevent a boil-water notice if possible.
