Memorandum
There is a resolution before you to grant an easement for a Water Main System at the Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) to Pittsfield Charter Township.
The City previously constructed a water main system at the MRF, which system connected to the Pittsfield Township main lines on Ellsworth Road and to the systems serving the adjacent WR Wheeler Center in Pittsfield Township.
As a normal condition of developing utilities facilities and connecting into their systems, the Township requires a grant of easement for those facilities. Further, the Township has agreed to accept a grant of easement for the MRF water main systems.
The easements are in a form approved by the City Attorney and conveyed without cost to the City.
