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. Click here to view the interactive project webpage
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.
