BELLAIRE The village of Bellaire is another step closer to making an estimated $3 million worth of improvements at its water treatment plant.
During a regular meeting Thursday, Village Council approved an engineering contract with CTI Engineers of Akron, Ohio, for the job, which will involve the installation of two new air strippers at the plant. The village will pay $155,000 for its services.
Part of CTI’s job will be to help the village advertise for bids for the plant work, and then help administer the construction contract once it is awarded.
Also during the meeting, council heard presentations regarding new water meters from men representing two different companies Ray Schwarz, Ohio Sales manager for Neptune Equipment Co., Cincinnati, Ohio, and Curtis Straubhaar, meter specialist with Trumbull Industries, Akron, Ohio.
DOUGLAS, Mich. Saugatuck Brewing Company, one of Michigan’s largest independently owned craft breweries, is announcing the return of their spring and summer release of Blueberry Lemonade Shandy. Offered in 6-packs, 12-packs and on draft Blueberry Lemonade Shandy will be available on store shelves and beer taps across the brewery’s distribution footprint beginning in early March. It takes over for Peanut Butter Porter, the brewery’s second packaged seasonal style that is available from September through February.
Established in 2005, Saugatuck Brewing Company first started brewing Blueberry Lemonade Shandy in 2017 as a draft-only beer to be featured exclusively on tap at their Pub in Douglas, MI and at Michigan summer beer festivals. However, by the end of that summer it was very clear that the beer was a huge hit and would later move its way to the canning line.
