The purpose of the Project Plan is to secure approval of DWSRF funding for the replacement of aging water infrastructure, specifically lead water services, water meters, and water main located within the City of Niles. The proposed projects would provide public health protection and to improve water quality and reliability.
The City is requesting $3 Million in funding from EGLE for the proposed projects in this fiscal year. The estimated cost to complete all of the proposed projects is $26.3 Million. The estimated cost to a typical residential user for the associated $3 Million DWSRF loans is $0.35 per month. Any grants awarded to the City from the DWSRF program would reduce the estimated cost.
On or before May 23, 2022, copies of the draft Project Plan will be available for public review on the City of Niles’ website at: http://www.nilesmi.org/departments_and_divisions/utilities_department/water.php All interested parties are invited to present comments on the proposed Project Plan. Written comments may be submitted to the City of Niles, Attn. Jeff Dunlap, 333 N. Second Street, Niles, MI 49120, or via e-mail to: utilitiesmanager@nilesmi.org. Comments must be received no later than June 22, 2022, in order for them to be considered as part of the public record.
