Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Fraser public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
15 Mile Road lift station repair
The lift station serving three commercial properties has electrical problems that may need about $5,000 in emergency repairs to prevent flooding.
Senior bus service expansion to Fridays
Senior programming is booming — Easter party sold out at 45, Tigers games sold out for both April and September, and a new 2025 bus allows an extra rider. A spring bingo with household-prize items returns April 24.
GLWA Wholesale Water Contract
Council approved an amendment locking in lower usage factors with the Great Lakes Water Authority — annual volume down from 69,000 to 60,028 million cubic feet — which should temper future wholesale rate increases starting July 2027.
Drinking water protection — cross connection control
Confusing state-required backflow testing letters frustrated residents. The city pushed the deadline to June 30, moved residential irrigation testing to a five-year cycle, and promised plainer language on social media.
