Worth Twp. Sanitary Sewer System Improvements
Worth Twp., Sanilac County, Michigan
Worth Twp. residents and businesses have long been dependent upon private on-site sewage treatment systems. Water sampling suggested strong evidence that many of these systems had failed and were discharging raw or partially treated sewage into the waters of Michigan. Worth Twp. became under the directive by the State of Michigan Department of Environmental Quality to proceed with measures to address these water quality concerns.
The Township selected Prein & Newhof, Inc. of Grand Rapids, Michigan as the lead consultant and contracted BMJ to provide sub-consulting services for specific project needs. The project was broken into five separate construction contracts. Contract 1 included the construction of the treatment lagoon, Contract 2 was for all the sewage lift stations, Contracts 3, 4 and 5 were for the mainline sewer, building service leads and force mains.
BMJ prepared the topographical survey for engineering design, provided construction layout survey, construction observation, materials performance testing and project management assistance services.
