This decision was influenced by past experiences with infrastructure failures, which led to increased costs and complications. The 30' wide x 62' long x 21' deep pre-equalization tank, crucial for managing fluctuations in raw wastewater, faced future challenges due to the corrosive nature of hydrogen sulfide. With a community of 300,000 residents, Ottawa County in West Michigan is the state's fastest-growing county, adding an additional 2,454 residents in the last year alone.
