Pittsfield Village Improvements

​The City of Ann Arbor is embarking on a project to improve the stormwater, drainage and drinking water infrastructure currently serving the Pittsfield Village area. These improvements, to be completed in 2026, both above and below ground, will:

• Reduce surface flooding by installing new storm infrastructure where it is lacking, increasing the size of some existing storm pipes, and installing stormwater detention ponds to temporarily hold stormwater.

• Reduce the risk of basement backups by installing larger sanitary pipes and curb drains for future sump pump lines from footing drain disconnections.

• Improve roadway drainage by installing additional storm drain inlets.

• Increase fire protection and minimize service losses should a water main break occur by replacing existing water mains with larger pipes.
  

• Remove master meters to the neighborhood that will provide more detailed information on water use and quickly identify leaks by installing water meters in condominium units.

• Improve streets and sidewalks as part of the city's program to increase access for people of all ages and abilities, consistent with Ann Arbor's Vision Zero transportation plan​.
