During a special meeting Monday, June 28, Owosso City Council held a public hearing on a lead and galvanized service line replacement project. Owosso Utilities Director Ryan Suchanek offered a summary of the plan as the city is currently seeking $3 million in funding to replace lead/galvanized service lines over a three-year period starting next spring, with some leeway offered to a fourth-year extension if needed. Council approved going forward with the project, authorizing Suchanek to represent the city on the issue.

“This is a need,” Suchanek stated during the meeting. “This is something that has been mandated by the state’s LCR Rule.”
