Municipal leaders in a lakeshore community are preparing for an infrastructure-replacement project that could exceed $40 million.
According to WGVU radio, Grand Haven’s water, storm, sanitary and road systems were discussed during a recent city council work session.
City officials said a major focus is replacement of all lead water service lines by 2037.
More than 600 of the city’s 4,700 service lines are lead, with another 1,200 of unknown material.
Other projects include the estimated $9 million reconstruction of Grant Street, maintaining water-storage tanks, and improvements to Ferry, Columbus and Seventh Streets.
Mayor Bob Monetza told WGVU the city has spent the last 20 years trying to keep up with repairs.
The city is looking into using grants, millages and other funds to help pay for the repairs.
