Pittsfield Charter Township is using $2 million of its total $4 million American Rescue Plan grant allocation from the federal government for this project. The Michigan Avenue section is a major artery for the collection system, as it carries over 60% of the Township’s wastewater. This work identified significant sections of the system along Michigan Avenue that require immediate attention due to poor pipe condition and lack of future capacity. Starting in 2015, using grant funding through the State’s Stormwater, Asset Management, and Wastewater (SAW) Program, Pittsfield Charter Township assessed the capacity and condition of the existing wastewater collection system. Sections of the existing sewer along Michigan Avenue not requiring replacement will be lined with Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) to extend the useful life of the pipe with minimal intrusion. ![]() It will be designed to address the structural integrity and capacity concerns of the system while increasing operational efficiency with the elimination of two existing pump stations along the route. The route of the new proposed sewer is shown in the map below with large sections along Munger Road, Crane Road, Textile Road, and Michigan Avenue. This project will design and construct a new interceptor sewer to address deteriorating conditions and capacity constraints within Pittsfield Charter Township’s wastewater collection system.
