Leslee Niethammer Saline River Reserve
9000 S. Maple Rd.
Saline, MI 48176
United States
Sunny, with a high of 47 and low of 29 degrees. Sunny for the morning, clear during the afternoon and evening,
I have to commend the Saline City manager and engineer for keeping their cool and for their professionalism during the three hour Mill Pond Dam town hall meeting.
I think what's insulting is that the city is bloating the numbers to bolster their case.
Logically, the dam has no practical use. Of course, it's going to cost more. Of course, there's a level of risk there. Of course, over some period of time, it's going to cost more to maintain than a stream.
Life cycle cost analysis is certainly appropriate when considering new assets, but it may not be as appropriate when evaluating existing assets.
