Improvements are planned at the City of Jackson Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) to maintain the quality of our sewer system. The City is seeking a State of Michigan grant to fund the renovations. The first step in seeking that funding is holding a public hearing for residents to give input on the plan. The hearing will take place during the Tuesday, May 11 virtual Jackson City Council meeting at 6:30 p.m. It will be live-streamed on the City’s website, Facebook page, and Comcast Cable Channel 21.
The project plan can be viewed on the City website at cityofjackson.org/wastewater-treatment-plant.

The City is requesting a State of Michigan Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) loan for the project design and construction costs which are estimated at $6,440,000. The estimated increase to the annual sewer budget associated with the CWSRF loan is $390,000. A user rate in
