Segment 5 Project Update
We all remember the sinkhole on 15 Mile Road in 2016, when we experienced a major sewer interceptor collapse. You may have been a resident in 2004 when there was also a sinkhole on 15 Mile Road, or even remember the one in 1978. None of us ever want another sinkhole obviously. After fixing the 2016 sinkhole, my department did a comprehensive inspection of the entire system, and no surprise, it needs some rehabilitation and maintenance work. We have undertaken that work with a project that is currently under way in an area in the ITC corridor, under the transmission towers.
We are committed to investing and maintaining our underground infrastructure for future generations, and we are also committed to ensuring we never have another infrastructure disaster along 15 Mile. We sincerely appreciate your understanding and patience during the construction period. There really isn’t any other way, and we also want to make sure that local residents were notified.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Keith Lumma with the Macomb County Public Works Office at keith.lumma@macombgov.org or 586-469-5325.
