NOTICE OF PROJECT PLANNING PUBLIC MEETING
The Village of Farwell will hold a public meeting on the proposed Water System Improvements Project for the purpose of receiving comments from interested persons.
The meeting will be held at 6:00 p.m. on Monday, May 6th, 2024, at Farwell’s Village Hall during the Council Meeting.
The purpose of the proposed project is improvements to the Village’s water system.
Project construction will include replacement of approximately 8,680 linear feet of watermain, replacement of approximately 13 service lines suspected of once being connected to lead, water storage tank improvements including a mixer, replacement of a poorly accessible 4” water meter servicing a subdivision, installation of VFD’s at Well #3 and #4, and Water System SCADA improvements.
Impacts of the proposed project include minor traffic operation, increased local noise and dusts levels typically of a construction project. There are no anticipated long-term impacts from this project.
The estimated project costs will be discussed at the public meeting. User rates will be adjusted to service the debt and operate and maintain the proposed improvements over time. The estimated cost increase to users for the proposed project will be discussed at the public meeting and the final costs will be dependent on the terms of the financing proposed by EGLE for this project.
Copies of the plan detailing the proposed project are available for inspection at the following location: Farwell’s Village Hall – 109 S. Hall Street, Farwell, MI 48622. Hours: Mon-Fri: 7:30AM – 4:00PM.
