Wastewater Treatment Plant Open House
This afternoon (Thursday, October 17, 2019) the City will be hosting an open house at the Wastewater Treatment Plant (8360 Huron St.) from 4 pm to 6 pm. The public is invited to take a tour of the plant and learn about the upgrades that have been made as part of the $5.5 million project that started in the fall of 2018.
This project is one of the largest projects undertaken at the Dexter Wastewater Treatment Plant and ensures that our community will continue to have an effective and reliable treatment plant to serve our wastewater processing needs, while protecting our essential natural resource – the Huron River.

Hydrant Flushing
City Utility Department staff are continuing to flush hydrants throughout the City. The schedule for next week is as follows:
Original Village Neighborhoods and Westridge
As crews flush hydrants there may be some discoloration of the water. Residents who experience “rust colored” water should simply run the cold water tap to clear the household pipes. The rust coloring is caused by a natural build up of minerals in the water system. Some natural mineral deposits are stirred up in the water pipes when fire hydrants are first turned on. If possible, try to avoid washing white clothes during this time. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the Utility Department at 734-426-4572 during the hours of 7:00 am and 3:30 pm. Thank you for your cooperation during this effort to maintain the quality of your water system.
School Crosswalk Project
Improvements to four school crossings in the City will start on Friday, October 18, 2019. This project includes the installation of new crosswalks on Dan Hoey near Lexington and Ann Arbor Street near Kensington. Rapid flashing beacons will also be installed: at the two previously mentioned crossings; along Dan Hoey near Dongara; and along Baker near the pedestrian island. Please proceed with caution through the construction zones.
Prescription Drug Take Back Event
