City of Stanton - Water & Wastewater System Improvements

Important Information

This project has been in works since the City received their Stormwater, Asset Management, and Wastewater (SAW) Grant from the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes & Energy back in 2018. This grant gave communities across Michigan an opportunity to assess the condition of the existing storm and wastewater infrastructure across their jurisdiction and develop a Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) to repair failing infrastructure.

The City reviewed the proposed projects from this plan and were able to bundle many of them together. Using borrowed money from the United States Department of Agriculture at a low interest rate, a larger project was created at various locations across town to create a bid package for a contractor to construct.
