The City of Muskegon Heights seeks a qualified Law Firm to serve as City Attorney and provide other legal services. The City invites interested Law firms with a minimum of three years of municipal law experience, representing municipal or other governmental entities in the State of Michigan, to submit a written proposal to provide City Attorney services.
The City of Muskegon Heights will hold a public meeting on proposed improvements and upgrades to its Drinking Water System for the purpose of receiving comments from interested persons. The meeting will be held at 5:30 p.m. on May 22, 2023, at the Muskegon Heights City Hall, 2724 Peck Street, Muskegon Heights, MI 49444 as part of its regular City Council Meeting. The meeting can also be accessed remotely as with regular City Council meetings. Information can be found on the City of Muskegon Heights’ website.
The purpose of the proposed improvements is to provide a more reliable and resilient water supply and distribution system. The City has prepared a Project Plan as required to apply for low interest loans through the State of Michigan’s Drinking Water State Revolving Fund to complete these improvements. The water system needs have been evaluated in the plan. Generally, the projects proposed to be completed in the next five years include:
Impacts of the proposed project include those typical of utility construction such as temporary disruptions from noise, dust, and traffic congestion. The benefits will be a more reliable water supply and distribution system; provide for increased accessibility for operation, maintenance, and emergency response; and lower potential for lead exposure through reduction of lead and galvanized service lines to customers’ homes.
The estimated cost of implementing Year 1 (FY 2024) of the Project Plan will cost an estimated $24,000,000, which results in an estimated cost to the average residential customer of $26 per month. The amount of any rate increase will depend on grants that may be provided, and how many of the projects are constructed.
A copy of the plan detailing the proposed projects is available for inspection here.
