The latest phase of the project will affect areas around CSO 4—from Wilson Avenue south to Cherry Hill, and from North Waverly east to North Elizabeth Street.
The newest phase of the City of Dearborn's storm sewer separation is set to begin this spring, City Council announced Tuesday. Council approved a contract for $13.14 million—with a $500,000 contingency for unforeseen circumstances—for this phase of construction, which will separate combined sanitary and sewer pipes along main roads in the affected area, as well as include repaving of the roads. "It's a short-term inconvenience, but a long-term benefit," Dearborn City Council President Tom Tafelski said of the construction.

Construction on the Combined Sewer Overflow site will mean traffic is reduced to one lane each way through mid November.
Motorists heading down Outer Drive this fall should expect their drive to take a little longer.

The projects, discussed Tuesday evening at a public meeting, are expected to cut costs and help reduce basement flooding, but will cause temporary traffic disruptions for residents.
A public hearing was held Tuesday night at Dearborn City Hall to inform residents about the next six stages of construction for the city’s sewer separation projects. In addition to giving background information on the history of the CSO projects, information was handed out detailing when the sewer separation construction will take place, how it will affect residents, how much it will cost and where the funding is coming from. In 2002, the city began building deep-sinking caissons to be used for sewer water capture and treatment in an effort to meet new federal water quality mandates while continuing regional efforts to clean up water flowing into the Rouge River. But as construction of the CSO caissons proved to be more costly and …
