Constantine Village Council members were recently informed there will be a delay for completion of their new wastewater treatment plant.
Matt Johnson, regional manager for engineer firm Fleis & VandenBrink, said the treatment plant project is in a holding period, as all documents to install the new sewer facility remain under review by the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy.
He told the council there was some question about easements and property acquisition for the new plant. Nine properties in the immediate area need to be researched. Johnson also said supplies and materials, such as steel, are difficult to obtain currently.
Johnson said the completion date in 2024 will be pushed back, from spring to fall.
The village currently pumps its effluent to the wastewater treatment facility in Three Rivers.
They have said over and over that they are building the new plant where the previous plant stood. They have said nothing about needing 9 additional properties. What 9 properties? For how much $$$? Why?
