WATCH LIVE: $500M program to upgrade Detroit's water, sewer systems

DETROIT - A news conference was held Thursday morning to provide details of the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department's (DWSD) five-year, $500 million program to begin to upgrade the city's water and sewer systems. The work includes water main replacement, lead service line replacement, sewer collection pipe lining and replacement, and green stormwater infrastructure installations. The DWSD Capital Improvement Program (CIP) addresses the need to improve water and sewer systems reliability.
