Our new alderman is waisting no time finding ways to wisely spend the anticipated revenues from the new casino.
Excerpts from the Herald article:
"Charewicz said casino and future sales tax revenues will help ensure the city continues with flood prevention efforts, and provide funding of storm and sanitary sewer improvements."
"The city recently completed a major storm sewer upgrade in the 8th Ward along Marshall Drive to alleviate flooding as part of its Stormwater Master Plan.
" 'My ward is diagnosing and trouble-shooting the flooding issues (to determine) where is the next step … where is the money best being spent, ' Charewicz said."
"Charewicz said in severe rainstorms the city’s sanitary sewer system fills up and can’t handle the excess water, causing backups in basements. 'A sanitary sewer infiltration study should be conducted this spring,' he said. The study will determine how the storm water is seeping into the system, he added."
Mike Charewicz officially takes on his term Monday, May 2, 2011
