Scottville water project, detour may begin Monday

July 3, 2025

SCOTTVILLE — A major water main replacement project within the city is expected to begin on Monday, July 7, which will also mean a detour will be in effect. The $8 million project, funded through a grant from the State of Michigan, will replace several water mains.

Water mains to be replaced include those under portions of State Street (US 10), Elm Street, Crowley Street, Blain Street, Paul Street, Broadway Avenue, James Street, Columbia Avenue, Gay Street, Beryl Street, and Maple Street. Additionally, new mains that would complete loops are planned for East Second Street and East Fifth Street.  About 10 years ago, water mains were replaced on Main Street and several of the west-bound streets along Main Street. Click here for more details on the water project. 

State Street (US 10) is expected to be closed from an area west of Reinberg Avenue to an area west of Main Street.

A detour has been established during the upcoming phase. From the east the detour will be State Street west to Main Street north to US 31 and then south to US 10-31. This information has been updated.
