Memo From The Great Lakes Water Authority:
REGARDING: Disinfection and Flushing on Glenwood Road (Newburgh to Venoy Road)
The Great Lakes Water Authority (GLWA) is currently working on disinfecting and flushing our 24-inch water transmission main along Glenwood Road between Newburgh and Venoy.
The disinfecting and flushing of this 24-inch water transmission main is required prior to making any connections into the water distribution system.
Our construction contractor has ¾-inch water hoses connected to the 24-inch water transmission main in various locations along Glenwood road to flush the water out of the transmission main. These water hoses are extended above our manhole structures to allow the water to drain to the closest sewer.
There are “Wet Pavement” signs set-up along Glenwood Road to provide warning to the drivers that they are entering a wet pavement area. The water used is coming from GLWA’s water distribution system or a fire hydrant. If a fire hydrant is being used, the construction contractor has a water meter connected that calculates how much water is being used to allow the City to bill the contractor.
This disinfection and flushing along Glenwood road should be completed by October 16, 2020.
This process is required to allow GLWA to continue to provide water of unquestionable quality in southeast Michigan. The project will ultimately improve service reliability and redundancy to the area.
The citizens of Wayne are not going to see any increase on their water bill due to Great Lakes Water Authority work on this main.
Please contact the Mike Buiten or Kevin Hardy in the Wayne Buildings and Engineering Department with any questions at 734-728-9100. They will be happy to discuss the project with you further.
