Wastewater Plant, Composting Program Top City Agenda
By Beth Milligan | Feb. 2, 2026
Traverse City commissioners will consider investing over $7.3 million in a project to replace eight membrane trains – essential filtration equipment at the city’s wastewater treatment plant – over the next eight years at their 7pm meeting tonight (Monday). Commissioners will also consider enrolling in an incentive program that would reward the city for switching to emergency power at the plant when the region’s grid faces potential brownouts. Tonight’s agenda also includes a recommendation from staff to extend the city’s composting pilot program through the end of 2026.
