Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Livonia public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Water main inspection technology pilot
A robot dropped in through fire hydrants can video and map the inside of live water mains, potentially turning $100,000 valve replacements into a few-thousand-dollar fixes. Three pilot sites are proposed for under $20,000.
SCADA water system upgrades
A $58,000 engineering contract amendment will let public works remotely monitor water pressure and flow, including a pressure-reducing valve at Schoolcraft and Farmington — catching problems before they become emergencies.
Great Lakes Water Authority contract amendment
Livonia is re-upping its water contract with Great Lakes Water Authority for four years starting July 2027. Peak limits drop but bills won't — GLWA just redistributes costs among member communities.
