The ReminderThe Michigan Department of
Environment, Great Lakes and
Energy (EGLE) announced more than
$10 million in clean water grants for
Albion and Springfield last month.
The investments are part of a $
million grant dispersal EGLE is
awarding to local governments across
the state to build or fix water infra-
structure.
State Rep. Jim Haadsma (D-Battle
Creek), whose district includes
Albion and Springfield, commended
the state’s decision to support
Calhoun County’s infrastructure
needs.
“Access to clean drinking water
is a human right, and households
in Albion and Springfield deserve
to use water from their tap know-
ing it is safe,” Haadsma said in an
Oct. 1 press release from Lansing. “I
am happy to see this funding come
through for our communities to revi-
talize the pipes and sewer systems
families rely on every day. Improving
water infrastructure not only makes
drinking from the tap safer, but
reduces maintenance costs for work-
ing families.”
The City of Springfield is receiv-
ing more than $3 million to replace
16,000 feet of water main and lead
service lines, as well as to replace
a water main that runs through an
existing sewer manhole.
Albion is receiving more than $
million for the construction of a 1
million gallon elevated water storage
tank, and the replacement of 19,
feet of water main and service lines.
Albion will also see upgrades to its
water treatment plant and the installa-
tion of flow meters.
“The lead service line replacement
and sewer maintenance in Springfield
is essential for both protecting the
health of residents and curbing the
risk of flooding,” said Haadsma. “I
am also excited to see the benefits the
new elevated water storage tank will
bring to Albion, as it will provide
greater storage for potable water for
drinking and fire protection.”Clean water grants to fund

This fall, Honor Credit Union
is taking action to stock shelves
and combat food insecurity across
Michigan with its Pantry PowerUp
initiative.
In an effort to support its local
communities, Honor is donating
a total of $30,000 to food banks
throughout the six regions it serves.
Honor’s goal is to stock shelves and
address the urgent needs of families
and individuals facing economic
hardships.
“Traditionally, food drives peak
around the holidays, but this year
we’ve observed an unprecedented
and immediate need,” said Scott
McFarland, CEO at Honor Credit
Union, which is based in Berrien
Springs. “Our Pantry PowerUp initia-
tive reflects one of our team commit-
ments: ‘See a Need, Fill a Need.’”
