Purpose: The condition of the infrastructure (streets, roads, water & sewer lines) is an important element that can significantly impact the long-term economic strength of a city and the value of residential and commercial properties. The Howell City Council and City staff have completed an extensive review of the City’s infrastructure and have developed a three year infrastructure improvement program that when completed, will enhance service to our residents, positively impact the value and aesthetics of residential and commercial properties, and enhance the economic vitality of our community.
The Project: The Howell City Council has approved a three-year program that will reconstruct approximately 10.805 miles of the City’s 36 miles of streets beginning in July 2009 (see attached map for streets included). The project includes not only reconstructing the roads, but also replacing aging sewer and water lines and making storm sewer improvements. The streets within the program are a mixture of local and major streets that have not undergone any significant rehabilitation within the last twenty years. City staff and engineers have also identified corresponding underground water and sanitary sewer work with the intent of providing a twenty year fix.
