F.I.N.E. History

Edenville Township has been working for ~10 years towards bringing municipal water from Midland to a portion of the township. The "special assessment district" is the collection of properties that will have access to the public water. The owner(s) of each parcel will pay the same assessment price per parcel for the installation of the municipal water lines. The goal is to have this price be less than $10,000 per parcel. The cost per parcel is not based on acreage; it is one price per parcel of property, whether there is a house on it or not. This assessment can be paid up front or spread over 40 years at a low interest rate as a part of the property tax bill, and must be paid whether the home connects to the water system or not. FINE became active in the spring of 2008 to support the completion of the municipal water project.
