City of Wyoming - Water Transmission Main No. 3

The City of Wyoming owns and operates the Donald K. Shine Drinking Water Plant located near Lake Michigan on New Holland Street. Water from Lake Michigan is pumped to the plant where it is treated and then distributed to thirteen communities serving over 250,000 people in Ottawa and Kent Counties.

The City and Ottawa County is embarking on a multi-year construction project to enhance this regional asset through construction of approximately 11 miles of pipeline. This project, funded by ratepayers from the customer communities, will improve the drinking water transmission system reliability and functionality for the entire region.

The project is expected to be completed over several years with multiple contractors coordinating their efforts. Kamminga & Roodvoets of Grand Rapids, Michigan and Ric-Man Construction of Sterling Heights, Michigan are the two general contractors entrusted to construct this pipeline.

A map depicting the project area and general schedule for the project can be viewed at the link below.

Access/Traffic:

Local traffic will be maintained during pipeline construction. There may be times when your driveway is inaccessible because pipeline construction is occurring in front of your house or driveway restoration is taking place. The contractor will work with you ahead of time and will make special access arrangements with you if needed.

Mail:

Mailboxes that interfere with pipeline construction will be temporarily relocated so that mail service can be maintained during construction. If your mailbox needs to be temporarily relocated, the contractor will inform you of where it has been moved to.

Garbage Pickup:

The contractor will work with you and your waste hauler to maintain service throughout construction. If pipeline construction interferes with your waste haulers ability to pick up your garbage, the contractor will temporarily move your garbage binds to a central location and return them to the end of your driveway by the end of the work day.
