Weather conditions can and will delay any construction project.

The contractors work diligently to work through the weather, but in cases of extreme rain, or weather conditions, the contractors might need to leave the site.

Please always watch the website for updates as they occur.

Thanks for your patience during this construction season.

Water Discoloration during Construction

The current construction project that is occuring S. of Grand River, and W. of Michigan Ave. involves several utility improvements, including water main upgrades. These will help provide reliable water and sewer service for the entire neighborhood. Unfortunately at times it becomes necessary to flush hydrants and turn valves which may stir up iron, causing some residents to have orange water. The water is perfectly safe for use. Please run your faucets until it clears up before you use it, this should take no more than 15 minutes.

If it continues to happen or you need assistance, please contact the dps department at 517-546-7510.
