Escanaba awarded $19M for sewer system upgrades

LANSING, Mich. (WZMQ) – The City of Escanaba is getting nearly $19 million to improve its sanitary and storm sewer system.

The Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy announced Friday the city is one of eight communities around the state to receive a portion of $27.1 million in state grants to protect public health and water resources.

Escanaba will receive $18,930,000 for a project. A press release says approximately 5,215 linear feet of sanitary sewer and 16 manholes will be replaced. An additional 2,285 linear feet of sanitary sewer lining, and 29 manhole lining replacements will also take place throughout the city. Approximately 2,808 linear feet of storm sewer and 30 manholes will also be replaced. The Ludington Street roof drains will also be disconnected. A new Ludington Street Lift Station will be constructed and will replace the existing Ludington Street and City Hall lift stations

The MI Clean Water Plan grants are through the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund, Clean Water State Revolving Fund, and support from the American Rescue Plan Act.

“We’re pleased to be able to offer this assistance to so many Michigan communities striving to maintain aging water infrastructure while also keeping customer water rates in check,” said Phil Roos, EGLE director. “Everyone deserves clean drinking water and healthy rivers and lakes. These grants help communities meet those needs for current and future generations.”
