 Northville
Township has awarded contracts for water distribution system
improvements to create a new pressure district for an area in the
township currently experiencing low water pressure. This area is
generally bounded to the south by 5 Mile Road, to the east by Sheldon
Road, to the north approximately 1/2 mile north of Six Mile Road, and
to the west by approximately 1/2 mile west of Beck Road. In order to
create the new pressure district, a new elevated water tank, a booster
station and water main distribution system improvements will be
constructed.
The purpose of the new pressure district is to alleviate low water
pressures experienced by existing residents and to be proactive in
dealing with future pressure issues as new users are added to the
existing water system. This will also ensure adequate future fire
flows are available in high demand situations, such as during the
summer months when irrigation demand/use is added to the system.
The new pressure district will be supplied with water from the City
of Detroit stored in the new elevated water tank. The tank will
be constructed by the Chicago Bridge and Iron Company at a cost of
$1.7 million and have a capacity of storing one million gallons of
water. The tank will be located within the Community Park, near the
future Water and Sewer Maintenance Building. The tank will be filled
by the new booster station.
The booster station will consist of pumps that will pump water from
the Detroit Water source to the elevated water tank. A contract has
been awarded to Sorenson Gross Construction Company in the amount of
$1.7 million. The booster station will be located on the
commercial property situated on the north east corner of the Five Mile
Road – Sheldon Road intersection.
The water main system improvements contract has been awarded to
Stante Excavating Company in the amount of $600,000 and includes
constructing new water mains at the following locations:
- 1,000 feet of 8-inch water main along Six Mile Road, between
Sheldon Road and Meadow Crest North.
- 400 feet of 12-inch water main between the Northville High
School and the Woodlands North subdivision.
- 700 feet of 12-inch water main along Six Mile Road, between
Stonebrook Drive and Hilltop View Drive.
- 1,650 feet of 12-inch water main along Six Mile Road, between
Sherwood Land and a point approximately 700 feet east of Beck Road.
- 3,200 feet of 16-inch water main along Five Mile Road and within
Community Park between Beck Road and the Arcadia Ridge development.
SCHEDULE
Our anticipated project schedule and milestones are as follows:
- Begin Construction: April 2007
- Project Completion: June 2008

Elevated Water Tank
Booster Station
The Township is constructing a $500,000 water main project to
replace approximately 2,000 feet of water main along Five Mile Road,
between the Northville Forest Apartment complex and Tanger School. The
existing main in cast iron and has chronic water main breaks, as
recent as early 2006.
The township is presently securing the necessary easements for the
project. In addition, permitting is underway through the Wayne County
Department of Public Services, the Wayne County Department of
Environment, the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department, and the
Michigan Department of Environmental Quality.

Pickford
Water Main Replacement Project
Northville Township is in the preliminary design phase of a water
main replacement project that will extend from the Fox Hollow
Subdivision to Sheldon Road. This project is being financed entirely
by the township and no individual property will be assessed.
Phase I of the project will extend from the Fox Hollow Subdivision
(tying into an existing water main between lots 12 and 13) to Pickford
Road where it will continue in the right of way to an end location in
Fermanaugh Court. Phase I will consist of approximately 2800 ft of
12” ductile iron pipe.
The purpose of the improvement project is to provide a replacement
ductile iron water main for an old cast iron water main that runs
cross lots from Fox Hollow to Sheldon Road. The existing main is
exposed in locations, and subject to future breaks due to its age.
This project will upgrade the pipe material, as well as place the
water main in a location easily accessible for future maintenance.
Preliminary design has been completed and easement acquisition is
underway.
SCHEDULE
No schedule has been determined for this project.
