5/14/13- The damage caused by Enbridge Energy to a Howell Township sewer line has been deemed irreparable. The sewer line is among two pipelines that were damaged by Enbridge Energy while the company was upgrading a major natural gas and oil pipeline that runs through Livingston County. Neither of the parties involved have taken responsibility for the incident, but are working closely together to create a solution as soon as possible. Board members are working with an engineer to plan the construction of a new sewer line that will lie below the existing one and will follow the same path. This will allow the township to save time and money acquiring an easement to follow a new path. The project will be initially paid for by Howell Township and should be completed by the end of this construction season. (SO)
