There will be an informational meeting at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Jan. 9 for residents of Dearborn who live east of Telegraph, west of Outer Drive, south of Cherry Hill and north of the Rouge River to discuss details and address questions about the storm sewer separation project that will affect their neighborhood beginning in February 2012 and continuing through 2013.

The meeting is at Bryant Middle School.

In accordance with the federally-mandate CSO (Combined Sewer Overflow) control project, the City will be separating the current single line sewer system into two lines, one for sanitary sewers and one for rain water.

In order to do this, the City must remove pavement and dig down to the current sewers and install new sewer lines and new water mains. Old sanitary leads will be replaced with new PVC pipe from the City's sewer to approximately 5 feet behind the curb, leading to each house.
