Fishbeck has long provided consulting and engineering services to the City of Mackinac Island for its water and wastewater treatment and conveyance facilities.
The City’s WWTP had deteriorated over time and required upgrades to ensure long-term compliance with its discharge limits. The upgrades were designed to take into account the large fluctuation in flows and loads observed at the plant as a result of seasonal tourism on the island.
Fishbeck also helped the City obtain low-interest loans and ARRA grants to cover the costs of the project through the U.S. Department of Agriculture and Rural Development.
