City of Saline residents who have downed branches from recent snow and ice storms should have them ready for pickup by March 13. The city's DPW workers hope to complete cleanup by the end of next week.
Here's what you need to do:
Contact Saline DPW at (734) 429-5624 for more information.
Patchy rain nearby, with a high of 53 and low of 22 degrees. Overcast for the morning, cloudy for the afternoon and evening, clear overnight.
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.
