NEGAUNEE — Piping the city’s wastewater to the Ishpeming Area Waste Water Authority would save Negaunee roughly $4 million over 20 years compared to the alternative — renovating and continuing to use its own plant.
This information — along with costs, savings, the history of the project and an explanation of exactly how the city would be billed for being a customer of the IAWWA — is being collected by the Negaunee Ad Hoc Wastewater Committee to be presented to Negaunee residents, who will be asked in November to vote on whether bonds can be used to help finance the transmission line that will carry the wastewater to the plant.
