2021 Construction Projects
SAW Sanitary Sewer Cleaning and Televising Project
In 2020 Bloomfield Township obtained a Stormwater Asset Management and Wastewater (SAW) grant through the State of Michigan. There are several tasks of work under the grant. One of the tasks includes performing a condition assessment of a portion of the Township’s sanitary sewer system. This includes cleaning and televising the sewer. The sewer cleaning and televising project will take place throughout the Township including in rear and side yards, and along lakes and rivers.
The contractor for this project is Doetsch Environmental Services, from Warren, Michigan. The program consists of three separate divisions that began in December 2020 and will be completed by the end of 2021. During cleaning and televising there are no anticipated interruptions in services to homes or businesses. The cleaning and televising is conducted from within the sewer by accessing the sewer manholes. In some cases, the manholes are located within easements along rear and side yard property lines. Any disruption to property will be restored at the completion of the project. Driveways and streets will be kept passable during this period. The contractor will use water from fire hydrants within the project areas.
