"It is important to educate ourselves, local leaders, and the general public regarding the true cost of ownership over the lifecycle of an asset and the value of asset management principles." - 2019 Michigan Infrastructure Council Regional AM Summit


The City of Saline owns and maintains several different public infrastructure, including the sanitary sewer collection system, water main distribution system, a water treatment plant, a wastewater treatment plant, roads, sidewalks, pathways, parks, traffic signals, signs and crosswalks.  The City Engineer develops policies, procedures, and engineering standards for the City’s public infrastructure, including overseeing completion of capital projects. They also develop and enforce engineering standards for private developments and provide opinions of costs for city wide planning and budgeting purposes.
