CADILLAC â As officials dug their golden shovels into the soil, Cadillac s somewhat unusual plan to build a third wellfield is officially underway.
When the project is complete next summer, the city s oldest wellfield will go offline, as it s being threatened by contamination.
The city never wants to be in this position again, so leaders decided to build two new wellfields, one on Crosby Road (it s been up and running for the better part of a decade) and a second on East 44 Road.
The second new wellfield provides, ideally, a fail-safe; if anything were to go wrong at Crosby Road (or vice versa), the city has another wellfield that can stay up and running.
