Resolution to Grant Sewer Service Outside City Limits to 1643 S. State Street
Memorandum
Your approval of the attached resolution to supply sanitary sewer service outside City limits to 1643 S. State Street in Ann Arbor Township is requested. The property owner filled for annexation of 1643 S. State Street in May 2011, along with the adjacently-owned parcel located at 1645 S.

We will tap into our unrestricted bank of footing drain disconnect credits to mitigate this new flow. It is beneficial to the City to remove this non-performing or under-performing septic system. The City’s sewer system has the available capacity and is the only system that...
