Site work for a water / sewer project in Rochester Hills, Michigan. Conceptual plans call for site work for a water / sewer project.

Eastlawn Drive is a longtime developed street that has little elevational drop from west to east across its 1/2 mile length. Storm pipes were added to the very east end of this street along with ditching to the entire street in the early 1990's. Since then, new homes have been constructed with basements that require a sump pump, driveways have been replaced, yard elevations have risen and groundwater levels have raised. The City is now experiencing a street with no positive drainage available, heaving drive culverts and a large uptick in residential drainage complaints. This proposal would address this issue by providing storm sewer to the full length of the street, with the pipe residing in the grassed area on the north side right of way, then crossing the roadway at 200 Eastlawn where it would travel across the side yard to the Oakland County Crake Drain basin. Installing the storm in the north side grassed area should alleviate repaving the entire road length during restorations. An easement would be required from 200 Eastlawn. Construction is planned to begin in 2023 This project is in included in the City of Rochester Hills FY 2023 - 2028 CIP. As of January 17, 2023, further details regarding design and construction have not been identified. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
